Can I borrow money against my social security?

Written by Editorial Team | Last Updated: August 2026

Bank of America does not offer traditional personal loans, but it provides several alternatives for customers to access capital. You can explore the "Balance Assist" program if you need a small, short-term loan for unexpected expenses. For larger needs, the bank offers home equity lines of credit (HELOC), mortgage products, and car loans. If you require flexible, short-term access to cash, applying for a credit card may also be an option. Since personal loans are not in their product lineup, your best approach is to assess which of these specific lending products—such as a HELOC or an auto loan—best fits the purpose of the funds you are seeking. You can pre-qualify for many of these options through their website or mobile app without affecting your credit score.
