Bank of America Update: Bank of America has announced that it will shut down several branches in Florida. The list of locations that will be closed this month is as follows. Several Bank of America branches nationwide, including a few in the state of Florida, ceased operations in the past year. Closures are expected to continue until 2024.
The closures are attributed, in part, to the renewed banking requirements of consumers. An escalation in transactions conducted through online banking has prompted financial institutions to pursue adaptations. Additionally, specific branches experience reduced profitability, which results in their closure by institutions.
According to an analysis by American Banker, while closures will continue in 2024, they may be fewer as prominent banks seek to strengthen their branch networks in growth markets.
Banks are still opening new branches in regions with growing economies and populations despite being forced to close some locations.
