Download activity from the commercial-card CORP account

Bank of America's commercial credit-card FAQ documents a transaction download with a file-type choice. Its route is Accounts, the CORP account, Activity / Download, All accounts for this company, custom dates, a file type and Download transactions. This gives commercial-card users a documented place to look for structured activity before extracting a statement. The FAQ does not enumerate the file extensions, so it does not establish that CSV or XLSX is available. Inspect the current file-type choices in that commercial platform rather than treating the presence of a Download button as a verified spreadsheet format.

Retrieve online statements and request older copies

The bank's digital-banking guide describes 18 months of online statements with check images, available to view or download. For older copies, it describes requests up to seven years back through Accounts, Statements & Documents and Request statements. Requested copies become available in approximately 24–36 hours; their download links remain available for seven days. Save a delivered statement while its link is usable. These figures describe the statement-retrieval service and do not establish a seven-year CSV export or a longer guaranteed record-request range. Ask Bank of America about a specific month beyond that documented range.

Check whether you have the documented commercial permissions

The commercial-card FAQ restricts the All accounts for this company download to an account owner or guarantor. It permits a whole-year date selection for that workflow, which is not evidence of a one-year retention ceiling. These permissions and controls belong to the commercial-card platform; they do not establish the personal checking download menu. Current personal-account spreadsheet extensions and their oldest exportable dates remain unverified by these sources. For personal historical work, the separate online-statement and older-copy request guidance is the documented route available here.
