Bank of America

This Bank of America branch serves the Brighton neighborhood of Boston. Bank of America is one of the largest banks in the United States, offering checking and savings accounts, CDs, credit cards, home and auto loans, small business banking and investing through Merrill. A neighborhood branch gives customers a place to open accounts, make deposits and get in-person help, while the bank’s digital tools let them handle most routine banking from a phone or computer.

The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and its large footprint in Massachusetts dates to its 2004 purchase of FleetBoston Financial. Its mobile app supports check deposits, transfers, account alerts and balance checks, with a version for Apple Watch. Customers can also follow a security meter in the bank’s Security Center that tracks the steps they have taken to guard against fraud, and the Better Money Habits program offers financial education.
