Reflecting on America’s history at 250 and Bank of America’s role

As the United States of America approaches its 250^th anniversary, Bank of America is proud to celebrate this historic milestone. It is also a moment to reflect on the role our company has played in supporting customers, clients, markets and communities through key moments in American history. As the nation developed, we have had the privilege to help it grow.

Chair and CEO Brian Moynihan provides a reflection on our history, included in our 2025 Annual Report, and offers perspective on how our company’s longstanding focus on serving people and communities connects to moments of progress across generations.

“America, since its beginning, has been an idea that we continue to perfect — it is a land where any individual has the opportunity to do and be, what, and who, they choose,” Brian wrote. “Your company has been there from the start, and we have followed and helped America’s development around the world. We continued to do so in 2025.”
