A long variable can hold a maximum number of 2147483647
I suggest you make your bank account number field text. It does not need to
be a number just because it contains all digits. You are not going to perform
calculations with it are you ?

Ronaldo has hit the nail on the head here. Following his advice is the way to
go.

As he has suggested, a field that contains all digits but isn't used for
mathematical operations really should be defined as Text.
