Bank of America interview questions
Superday Room's question bank has 126 questions that candidates reported from Bank of America interviews, from recruiting for summer analyst classes of 2025 to 2027. 21% of them are behavioral; the technical questions are led by valuation (18), merger models (M&A) (16) and accounting (12).
Bank of America's own campus site says first- and second-round interviews happen by phone, by on-demand video, on campus or in an office, and that the final round is interviews with people from the business you applied to. Its on-demand video interview gives you 30 seconds to prepare each answer and up to three minutes to give it, and the questions are mainly behavioral (Bank of America, checked November 1, 2026). The topic mix, sample questions, the HireVue and the timeline are below.

What is Bank of America's interview process?
Bank of America lays out four steps: find a role, apply, interview and offer. It says the interview stage can mix phone calls, in-person conversations and video interviews with HR, business managers and possible peers, and may include exercises and assessments (Bank of America, Hiring process, checked November 1, 2026). For U.S. and Canada campus programs, its student page adds (Bank of America, Joining the team, checked November 1, 2026):
- Apply online, early. Analyst internship recruiting runs on a rolling basis, and interviews often start before the deadline, so programs can fill before they close. You apply online even if your school also runs a resume drop.
- First and second rounds. By phone, on-demand video, on campus or at an office.
- Final round. Varies by line of business, but typically interviews with representatives from the business you applied to.
Bank of America says it looks for students who are eager to learn, intellectually curious, team players and genuinely interested in its programs. Candidates reported 49 of the 126 questions from first rounds; 13 of those were behavioral.
What is the Bank of America HireVue like?
It's a recorded, on-demand video interview: you get 30 seconds to prepare each answer and up to three minutes to give it, with no follow-up questions, and the whole thing takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Bank of America says the questions are mainly behavioral and open-ended, though it may ask about your projects or experiences.
Its U.S. page calls it an on-demand video interview; its Asia Pacific page names the HireVue platform and says you get practice time first (Bank of America, checked November 1, 2026). Its own tips, in short:
| What Bank of America says | What it means for your answer |
|---|---|
| 30 seconds to prepare, up to three minutes to answer | Use the 30 seconds to pick two or three points. Bank of America says to expect to use at least 1:45 per answer. |
| No follow-up questions | Say how and why you did something, without being asked. An answer that stops at "what" leaves gaps nobody can fill. |
| Notes are okay | Bullet points, not a script. It asks you not to read straight from the page. |
| Treat it like an in-person interview | Professional dress, a quiet room with no echo or busy background, and strong Wi-Fi. Tell the people around you you'll need 20 to 30 minutes. |
| Be flexible | If a question surprises you, answer as well as you can and keep going, even if you're interrupted. |
None of the 126 questions reported in interviews at Bank of America was tagged as a HireVue question, so there are no reported HireVue samples here. Prepare the standard behavioral set, like your resume, "why banking", "why Bank of America", a team story and a failure, and time each answer out loud between 1:45 and 3:00.
