Bank of America announced on October 28 that it opened its first financial centers in Wisconsin this month, starting in Madison and Milwaukee, according to its expansion release.

The bank plans 19 Wisconsin centers through 2030 and said the expansion would create about 130 jobs. The new branches add consumer banking locations to its existing business and wealth-management presence in the state.

The company also outlined plans for 10 centers across Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama, beginning in early 2027, and eight in Greater New Orleans beginning in the second half of that year.

Nationwide, Bank of America operates approximately 3,500 financial centers. It plans roughly 50 new centers annually and said it has invested more than $5 billion in opening and improving locations since 2016.

The announcement also described more than 400 renovation projects completed this year, with over 300 additional projects planned in coming months.

The Wisconsin openings are completed developments. The remaining branch counts and opening dates describe the bank's plans, rather than locations already operating.
