Bank of America

This Bank of America branch serves customers in Boston’s Chinatown as part of one of the largest banks in the United States. Bank of America offers checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, credit cards, mortgages and auto loans, small business banking and, through Merrill, investment services. Branches give customers a place to open accounts, handle transactions and meet with staff in person, and the bank’s mobile and online banking tools cover most everyday tasks outside the branch.

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bank of America became a major presence in Boston after acquiring FleetBoston Financial in 2004. Its mobile app lets customers deposit checks, send money, set account alerts and check balances and recent transactions, including from an Apple Watch. A Security Center in online and mobile banking shows a security meter that rises as customers take steps to protect their accounts from fraud.
