Bank of America is closing branches in six states – Oregon, Tennessee, New Jersey, California, Missouri, and Nevada – according to notices filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The bank is required to provide the OCC with at least 90 days’ notice before a potential branch closure, submitting these notifications as Advance Notice of Closure filings, which are publicly accessible on the OCC website.
The closures, flagged in December filings, are expected to begin this month, March 2026. Specific locations include a branch at 101 SW Washington Square Road in Portland, Oregon; 4604 Lebanon Rd and 2720 Lebanon Rd, both in Tennessee; 1100 S Stiles Street and 2700 Westfield Avenue in New Jersey; 152 Hillcrest Drive in Thousand Oaks, California; and 1801 Northwest Chipman Road in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
The OCC, which oversees national banks like Bank of America, issued a cease-and-desist order against the bank in December 2024, citing deficiencies in its compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). According to the OCC, the order requires Bank of America to improve its anti-money laundering programs. A September 2025 analysis detailed the OCC’s findings, highlighting ongoing regulatory pressure on financial institutions to maintain robust financial crime prevention frameworks.
The OCC’s December 10, 2025, release of preliminary findings from its review of large banks – including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo – underscores the agency’s continued scrutiny of BSA compliance across the industry. The OCC noted the importance of effective monitoring, reporting, and governance in preventing financial crime.
Bank of America will as well be closed on eleven federal holidays in 2026, including Memorial Day (May 25), Juneteenth (June 19), Independence Day (observed July 3), Labor Day (September 7), Columbus Day (October 12), Veterans Day (November 11), Thanksgiving Day (November 26), and Christmas Day (December 25).
The OCC maintains a public database of branch closures, openings, and relocations for Bank of America and other financial institutions.
