Brief history and founding

Bank of America traces its corporate roots to the early-20th-century Bank of Italy, founded in San Francisco by Amadeo Giannini in 1904. Over the decades the institution expanded through growth and mergers. The modern Bank of America Corporation is the product of multiple consolidations; notably, NationsBank (headquartered in Charlotte, NC) acquired BankAmerica in 1998 and adopted the Bank of America name for the combined organization. Today, Bank of America Corporation is a nationwide banking holding company with operations spanning consumer banking, wealth management (Merrill), corporate and investment banking (Bank of America Securities), and global markets.
