Bank of America today announced the opening of a new financial center in Atlanta. The opening of this center in Atlanta further 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 Peachtree Battle financial center at 2367 Peachtree Rd. NE in Atlanta 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 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 the opening ceremony of the financial center, BofA presented a $100,000 grant to Atlanta Community Food Bank. The investment is part of BofA's commitment of $250 million over the next five years to support food insecurity across American communities. 

Associates hired to work at the Peachtree Battle financial center will join more than 5,000 Bank of America employees in Atlanta who are helping grow the local economy and create job opportunities that strengthen the community.

In September, Bank of America announced it raised its U.S. minimum hourly 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.

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

The Peachtree Battle financial center will showcase 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 provide personalized guidance.
