Canceling and Replacing Your Debit Card Online
If you have an online account with Bank of America, then follow these instructions:
Canceling and Replacing Your Debit Card in Person
The teller will cancel your old card and order a new one. The teller will also give you a temporary card to use while you are waiting. After receiving it, you need to activate it at an ATM machine. The PIN of the temporary card will be the same as the PIN of your old card. You will receive your new card in the mail
After you cancel the card, Bank of America will give you with a form saying that you did not authorize any of the charges that appear after your card was lost or stolen. Fill it out.
If you do not have an online account and cannot get to a location in person, then call Bank of America's customer service line.
