Bank of America recognizes that many of its borrowers are losing work amid the COVID-19 outbreak — and, as a result, struggling to make payments on loans they've taken out with the bank.
Bank of America offers three types of personal loans: home loans, auto loans, and credit cards. The bank is offering deferment on all three loans for customers in good standing.

Bank of America is offering up to 90 days of deferment for home loans, auto loans, and credit cards. The bank is not pausing any payments automatically — you must apply manually.
To apply, visit the bank's coronavirus response page and select request payment deferral near the top of the page. This link will lead you to a deferral application for all three types of loans.
Bank of America is deferring mortgage payments for up to 90 days, but may also allow borrowers to defer until the crisis is over, which will be decidedon a case-by-case basis. If you're still struggling financially due to the coronavirus after 90 days, contact Bank of America to discuss your individual situation.
Covid 19 Response Update
Deferral is available for customers who are current on their loan payments. There is a little leeway — for example, if you're only a week late on your payment, you should still qualify for deferral.

If you defer your Bank of America home loan, interest will continue to accrue. The missed payments are tacked onto the end of your loan term, which means you won't have to pay the total amount after the deferment period ends, but the term of your loan will lengthen.
You don't have to skip payments completely when you defer. You may choose to make smaller payments each month or to pay the lump sum at any time.
Bank of America will not report late or missed payments to credit bureau agencies. The bank also will not foreclose on your home or evict you.

If you have a home loan through federal mortgage companies Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, Bank of America will follow those companies' policies on handling home loans during the pandemic. Federal policies regarding home loans are changing frequently, so check the Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae websites to ensure you have up-to-date information.
Bank of America's policies for auto loans are similar to to its policies for home loans. You can request extended payment assistance if you continue to face hardship after the 90-day deferment period, and you can make modified payments at any time.
As with home loan payments, interest will continue to build, and any payments you miss will be added to the end of your loan term.
Bank Of America Ceo Doesn't Want Employees Worrying About Their Jobs
Credit card payment deferrals work a little differently than home or auto loan deferrals. When you a pay off a credit card, you don't have a strict due date that you're expected to pay off the loan, like with other types of loans (although it's always best to pay your monthly bill in full, if you can). So when you defer your Bank of America credit card payment, your payments aren't tacked onto the end of a loan. Payments are just on hold until the deferral period ends.

Bank of America disclosed this week that some customers' data may have been exposed during the uploading of loan applications related to the Paycheck Protection Program - a U.S. government initiative created to provide business loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a notification letter filed with the California Attorney General's Office this week, Bank of America notes that the security incident happened on April 22, when the bank was uploading Paycheck Protection Program applications into a U.S. Small Business Administration “limited access” test platform. This was being done to ensure the process for uploading Paycheck Protection Program loan information worked correctly, according to the bank.

Bank of America did not reveal the number of clients whose data was involved in the application test upload. The bank noted, however, that it has processed more than 305, 000 Paycheck Protection Program loan applications over the last several weeks, with the SBA lending about $25 billion to the bank’s clients to help small businesses continue operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bank of America is offering those affected by the apparent data leak a prepaid two-year membership in an identity theft protection service, according to the notification letter.
The information possibly exposed during this incident included address and tax identification number for the business seeking the loan, along with some of the owner's personal information, such as, name, address, Social Security number, phone number, email address and citizenship, according to the bank.

During testing, we discovered information included in your application may have been visible for a limited time period to a limited number of other lenders and their vendors authorized by the SBA to participate in the program, Bank of America wrote in the notification letter.
After the incident was discovered, Bank of America asked the SBA to remove its information from the test website, which it confirmed was accomplished on April 22. Even though some of the client and customer data was visible to other lenders and their vendors authorized by the SBA to participate in the program, Bank of America does not believe any of the information was actually viewed by any of the other lenders, according to the notification letter.
In March, the SBA reported that a flaw in an online application portal for its Economic Injury Disaster Loan program exposed the personal data of approximately 8, 000 loan applicants (see: SBA May Have Exposed Data on 8, 000 Loan Applicants ).

When President Donald Trump signed the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill, known as the CARES Act, in March, it included money for the Paycheck Protection Program, which quickly ran out due to demand.
In April, Trump signed a new aid package that included $320 billion more for the Paycheck Protection Program and about $60 billion earmarked for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.
