The answer to this question is YES, to anyone out there that has credit cards at bank of america, and also have checking accounts there that have balances, at a certain point in default, they can and WILL take money out of your checking. I just had it happen to me, and my lawyer says its legal because its in the fine print of the loan. Your checking account is collateral. They also do this completely un-announced.
It depends if you have the minimum in your account. If you have less then that and are always overdrawn, then I doubt they would take away money.
No, a credit card is not needed to sign into Bank of America. One can have a checking account, a savings account, or other business with Bank of America without having a credit card.
Bank Of America does not allow payments towards mortgage balance to be applied from a credit card, only a checking account. Cash advance from a credit card can be obtained and then transferred to a checking account which is being used for the mortgage payment.

You can open a checking account with badcreditnic.com. The do no check your credit.
While not an "online checking account" in the manner of Bank of America, HAPO Community Credit Union offers online banking options to its members including account management, transfers and bill-pay.
A credit card account comes with a credit card, which can be used to authorize purchases of any value. The checking account does not come with a credit card and is used for issuing checks.
No. It cannot be done by the bank. They can add the late payment fee & other charges to your credit card account but cannot automatically deduct amounts from your checking account - unless, you have given them standing instructions to debit monthly card payments automatically from your account.
what is a chekcing account at a credit union
Credit scores have nothing to do with checking accounts. Unless you've had major overdraft issues with a previous checking account you will have no problems opening a new one.
Checking accounts are not normally reflected on a credit report.
No, a checking account is not correlated to your credit score. The only reason why you have to give your social security # is to prove that you have no outstanding debt with any other banks. ______________________________________ Actually, there is a correlation. Having a checking account doesn't improve your credit score, but you can be accepted or denied an account based on it. If you have bad credit, or no credit, you may be denied from a variety of bank checking accounts. I was told by my lawyer it does improve your credit if you keep your checking account in good standings he said the bank report it monthly to the crdit bureaus thats just what i was told
If you try to spend more money than you have in your account you will be charged overdraft fees no matter if you are using online banking or physical checks or credit cards.
