You need to visit the bank and speak with a customer service representative. You should bring three forms of identification with you. You will need to prove without a doubt who you are and the bank will submit the proof to their main office. Before going to the bank you should check your records carefully to see if you have any old deposit/withdrawal slips or correspondence related to account.

Call your bank to freeze your account then replace your old check book.
The first thing one should do is to contact the bank were the account is held. A lost bank account will have a account number and history, for example when the account was last used. Investigation can be done in person, or online.
The bank should still have your information on file no matter how many times it changes ownership. Just go there and ask for your account number (or whatever info you need). Be sure to have your driver's license or ID card on you.

Notify the bank to either close the account of place a stop payment.
No. Banks do not prints out the customers account number in the ATM Card. This is done to protect the bank account details in case the ATM Card is lost. Not only BPI, every bank in the world follows this safety precaution. So, you wont find the account number in the ATM Card issued by any bank.
In fact, I did!
The bank should be able to find the account for you using your Social Security Number in the US. There will be some sort of government ID number associated with all accounts.
If you have her account number, call the bank immediately! The sooner the bank gets a freeze order on her account the less likely you are going to be charged for fraudulent transactions. Meanwhile, if you do not know the account number, you may be able to walk in using your own ID and hers to verify account or the bank may just freeze the account in good faith (not requiring your Grandma's ID). It depends on the bank, but you must contact them immediately either by rushing to a branch or calling the bank's account services number (the number you usually see on your card when it says "Report Lost/Stolen card") Short answer: get in touch with the bank your grandma uses right now...
