6. After the application has been finished the banker will ask if you the following questions:
Would you like to order checks?
Would you like your picture on your debit card?
Would you like to choose your Personal Identification Number (PIN) number?
Would you like temporary checks?
Description of the questions:
Checks can be used to pay bills and various items. Order at least one set of checks for convenience. They are also useful for mailing items. A sample check is shown above.
Ask to place a picture on your debit card, for extra protection. This prevents others from using your card.
A PIN number is a 4 digit number you will need in order to use your debit card. Pick a number that is easy for you to remember but that is not obvious to others. Do not use personal information or dates.
Temporary checks allow you to access your money before your debit card and permanent checks arrive. However, these are not widely accepted.

7. After you have answered these questions your account is now ready for you to use. Your debit card will be mailed to the address you provided in the application within a week.
Bank of America provides many online services for your account. Login to the Bank of America website using your account details to check your balance, transfer money and pay bills.
