Bank of America: Responsible Growth and Global Reach

Our Foundation: Responsible Growth

Bank of America Corporation (BofA) is one of the world’s leading financial institutions, serving approximately 69 million consumers and small business clients.1 Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the firm operates with a commitment to Responsible Growth, focusing on serving clients, communities, and shareholders, while effectively managing risk.2

The bank’s history dates back to 1904, when A. P. Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in San Francisco with the pioneering goal of providing banking services to immigrants and working-class people.3 Through strategic mergers and acquisitions, most notably the 1998 merger with NationsBank, it evolved into the modern-day global financial giant, Bank of America.4
