The corporation provides a diversified range of banking and non-banking financial services and products domestically and internationally through three business segments: Global Consumer & Small Business Banking, Global Corporate & Investment Banking and Global.

Bank of America is dedicated to nurturing endangered communities and sustaining vibrant ones. They work with their partners — both private developers and nonprofit community groups — to create economic growth. "Our focus is on neighbourhoods and working with other members of our communities to identify needs, establish priorities and create opportunities for growth," said Chief Marketing Officer Anne Finucane. "This is the formula that is successful time and again, neighbourhood by neighbourhood."

In 2007 Bank of America awarded £220, 000 in core funding to the two winners of the London Neighbourhood Excellence Initiative (NEI) programme that focuses on building the capacity of charitable organisations through access to unrestricted financing and management and leadership training.
