Supposedly it should be on the card itself, but I don't have a BofA credit card so I wouldn't know.

The best way to check is if it has a contactless symbol on the back of the card. Another way to test would be if you have an NFC enabled Android smartphone, you can download any number of NFC tag reader apps and place your credit card up to it to see if it detects something. If it does, the app will read the contactless card info and give you goobly-dook of encrypted data.
