SummaryBackground Information
History of the Company
Bank of America is one of the oldest and largest banks in the United States. With its home office in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bank of America is the third-largest commercial bank in terms of assets. Additionally, the bank originated under the Bank of Massachusetts which was founded in 1784. This makes the Bank of America the second oldest bank in the United States (Bank of America, 2006). Despite what appears to be a rich history for the organization, Bank of America does not have a clear and concise history of its development posted on its web site. For this reason information about the Bank's history must be gleaned from secondary sources.Critically reviewing what has been written about the Bank of America it becomes evident that while the organization can trace its roots back to the Bank of Massachusetts, the organization did not become a formidable financial institution in the United States until the early twentieth century. By 1906 Amadeo Giannini had established the Bank of Italy, which became a significant lender for individuals that had been impacted by the 1906 earthquake that had taken place in San Francisco. As a result of the business acquired by the Bank of Italy during this time period this organization became one of the leading financial institutions in San Francisco.
