Bank of America : Mobile Banking App Ranked as a Leader Among U.S. Banks by Independent Research Firm

Bank of America was today recognized as a leader in The Forrester Banking Wave™: U.S. Mobile Apps Q2 2019 report.

• Bank of America received the top ranking in three evaluation criteria, including self-service features, privacy and security cues, and content, and ranked among the highest in progress and workflow.

• Bank of America achieved an overall score 10 points higher than the evaluation average, and was one of only two U.S. banks to meet or exceed the average in 10 of 11 evaluation criteria.

• According to the report, Erica^®, the bank's artificial intelligence (AI)-driven virtual financial assistant, is a 'linchpin' within the Bank of America mobile app, serving as a 'proactive guide' and a 'curator of personalized insights about the customer's spending and financial life.'

'Our digital services go beyond financial transactions to deliver what our clients want today and in the future,' said David Tyrie, head of advanced solutions and digital banking at Bank of America. 'With more than 27 million mobile clients, we are dedicated to providing an unmatched user experience that will help people better manage their financial lives.'

As mobile apps have become the touch point of choice for millions of Americans to manage their finances, Forrester, a leading global research and advisory firm, evaluated the functionality and user experience of apps from established U.S. banks and one new digital banking provider. The report ultimately sought to evaluate how helpful and easy-to-use mobile banking apps are to customers.

Forrester found that 'U.S. mobile banking experiences are often effective, sometimes easy, but rarely evoke positive emotions.' In examining scores of individual banks, Forrester found no category in which 'Bank of America falls far short of customer expectations - something no other U.S. bank achieved.'

Bank of America's digital banking platform is an evolving source of increased client engagement and satisfaction, serving more than 37 million digital clients, including more than 27 million active mobile users. Earlier this year, Bank of America became the first financial services company to be both mobile app- and online banking-certified by J.D. Power for providing 'An Outstanding Customer Experience.' During the first quarter of 2019, clients logged into the Bank of America mobile app 1.5 billion times and deposited 34 million checks via mobile.
