bofa.com/globalcardaccess Activate Card | Activate Bank of America Global Card Access

To activate your Bank of America Commercial, Corporate, or Purchasing card via the Global Card Access portal, Navigate to bofa.com/globalcardaccess.

Follow the steps below.

Note: This portal (bofa.com/globalcardaccess) is specifically for corporate/business cards. If you are trying to activate a personal credit card, you should use the standard Bank of America Personal Banking siteinstead.

Method 1: Activate Online (Global Card Access)

1. Go to the Portal: Navigate to bofa.com/globalcardaccess.

2. Start Registration: Click on the link that says “Register a card” (usually found on the login screen).

3. Enter Card Details:

   • Enter your 16-digit card number.

   • Enter the expiration date and security code (CVV).

4. Verify Your Identity: You will be asked to verify your identity using one of the following:

   • Verification ID: Provided by your company’s Program Administrator.

   • Employee ID: Your unique employee identification number.

   • Email: If your email is already on file, you can request a one-time passcode.

5. Create Credentials: Create your User ID and Password for the Global Card Access site.

6. Complete Activation: Follow the final prompts to activate the card. You may also be asked to create a PIN during this process.

Method 2: Activate via Mobile App

If you prefer using your phone, you can do this through the specific business app.

1. Download the BofA Global Card Access app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

   • Make sure you download “Global Card Access” and not the standard “Bank of America” personal banking app.

2. Open the app and select “Register a card”.

3. Follow the same verification steps as the website (enter card info, verify identity, create login).

Method 3: Activate by Phone

If you are having trouble with the online methods, you can activate using the automated phone system:

• Call the number printed on the sticker on your card.

• Or call the general activation line: 1-888-233-8855 (U.S.) or check the back of your card for the international collect number.

• Have your Verification ID ready, as the automated system will likely ask for it.

Troubleshooting Tips

• “Unable to Validate” Error: This usually means the information entered (like the Verification ID or Zip Code) does not match what your company filed. Contact your company’s Program Administrator to confirm your details.

• Link Not Working: If the short link bofa.com/globalcardaccess times out, try typing https://cardportal.works.com/ directly into your browser, which is the destination URL.
