It only takes three quick steps to activate 24/7 online access to your American Funds account. Before you get started, there are two things you're going to need, your account number and the last four digits of the primary account holder's social security number. The account number can be found on any statement that you've received. If you don't have a statement handy, this might be a good place to pause the video so you can grab one.

Then, click Next.
