As of the time of publication, Bank of America’s outage has not yet been resolved, leaving many customers still unable to access their accounts and balances.
During a recent interview on CNN’s Face the Nation in August 2024 with the bank’s CEO, Brian Moynihan, he shared, “in our consumer base of 60 million customers spending every week, what you’re seeing is they’re spending at a rate of growth of this year over last year, for July and August so far, about 3 percent. That is half the rate it was last year at this time. And so, the consumer has slowed down. They have money in their accounts, but they’re depleting a little bit. They’re employed, they’re earning money, but if you look at — they’ve really slowed down.”
