Production
On the July 20, 2017 edition of 'Everyday Struggle', 21 Savage appeared as a guest. When asked about his production on the track, 21 stated, "'Bank Account' was just straight me. Metro just dragged it out to make it long enough for me to rap on and added the little pauses in the beat and bringing the beat back. But the melody, the bass, the sample, the hi-hat; I did all that shit." The song samples the ninth track of 'The Education of Sonny Carson' OST soundtrack, titled "Flashbulbs".
Music video
The music video was directed by Matthew Swinsky and was released to YouTube on November 10, 2017.
Critical reception
Jon Caramanica of 'The New York Times' opined that the song is among 21 Savage's "best and most fully realized songs to date." Reviewing the album, Sheldon Pearce of 'Pitchfork' expressed that the song's production's "clean minimalism is one of the surprises", while lyrically its makes "the same banal comment about an increased cash flow," along with the tracks "Dead People" and "Money Convo".
Remix
