Bank of America today announced the opening of a new financial center in Atlanta. The opening represents Bank of America’s mission to bring retail banking, lending, and small business services to local clients, along with investing and personalized financial guidance from Merrill. This opening is part of the company’s plans to open 150 new financial centers by 2027.  

The opening of the new Briarcliff Financial Center at 2562 Briarcliff Rd NE in Brookhaven builds on Bank of America’s $128 million investment in the local financial center footprint since 2016, with plans to invest an additional $60 million by 2027.  In Atlanta, Bank of America has also renovated 42 financial centers and serves clients through 105 financial centers and 453 ATMs. Bank of America employs more than 5,000 associates in its Atlanta market.   

“Bank of America has served Atlanta for more than 100 years," said Al McRae, president, Bank of America Atlanta. "We’re proud to support local economies by creating jobs and fostering long-term relationships with clients and their communities.” 

During a ceremony opening the center, BofA presented a $500,000 grant to its new neighbor Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The investment will help provide critical care for thousands of uninsured children and families who rely on the pediatric healthcare system.

The new financial center will employ 7 people locally, helping grow the local economy and create job opportunities that strengthen the community. In September, Bank of America announced it raised its minimum hourly wage in the U.S. to $25 per hour for full-time and part-time employees, bringing the minimum annualized salary for full-time employees to more than $50,000. Bank of America also recently announced its commitment to increase military and community college hiring, creating 700 financial center jobs in new growth markets across the country.

The new financial center showcases the latest technology, private offices to assist clients one-on-one, and on-site financial specialists who work as one team to understand a client’s unique priorities and goals, and to offer personalized guidance.  

Clients in Atlanta also have access to Bank of America’s industry-leading digital capabilities that serve the banking, lending, and investing needs of more than 59 million verified digital clients.
