Customers reach it through thousands of branches and ATMs and its mobile banking app. It earns money mainly from the gap between what it charges on loans and pays on deposits, plus fees from advice, asset management, deal work and trading.

What believers are saying

  • Profits are climbing: net income rose 27% to $9.1 billion in the June 2026 quarter on trading and dealmaking.
  • Tech careers have budget behind them: $4 billion of Bank of America's $13 billion yearly tech spend funds new initiatives.
  • Cheap funding cushions profits: $530 billion of its $2.03 trillion in deposits paid no interest at June 2026.

What makes Bank of America unique

Bank of America hires 1,000 contractors to patch software flaws exposed by Anthropic's Mythos

Bank of America has hired 1,000 contractors to help patch software flaws exposed by advanced AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos, chief executive officer Brian Moynihan told CNBC on Wednesday. The contractors work alongside 3,000 internal staff and have been in place since the second quarter. The bank spent a "couple hundred million plus" in the third quarter on software fixes and anti-money laundering compliance. Moynihan expects remediation costs to fall over time. "Once you patch, you don't have to patch as much," he said. Shares slumped as much as 8% on Wednesday. AI is also cutting costs. Savings from the bank's 130 internal AI projects are expected to rise from $300 million this year to $700 million in 2027.

Bank of America loses senior banker Amy Lissauer to JPMorgan as exits mount

Bank of America is losing another senior banker. Amy Lissauer, one of its most senior female executives, is leaving for JPMorgan Chase, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Chief executive officer Brian Moynihan and Faiz Ahmad, co-head of global investment banking, tried to keep her. A source said BofA could not match JPMorgan's pay package. Co-head of global investment banking Mike Joo and tech banker Ed Liu left in early August. Tech dealmaker Kevin Brunner and M&A co-head David Fishman are also joining JPMorgan. The business remains strong. Second-quarter investment banking fees rose 50% to more than $2.1 billion, and total revenue rose 15% to $31.6 billion.
