Deposits average about $128.4 million at the other 34 other Pinellas County branches of Bank of America.
Operations at the 34th Street South office were merged with those of a branch at 2800 54th Ave. S., about a mile away, said Matthew Daily, a spokesman for Bank of America. Some employees went to work at the 54th Avenue office, while others went to offices closer to their homes; no one lost their job, Daily said.
The closure was prompted by changes in consumer banking preferences. “Not just in St. Petersburg, we’re seeing it across the country, customers want to bank on their own plan, when its convenient and in ways that are convenient,�? Daily said.
For instance, more than 17 million people nationwide use the bank’s mobile app, and the bank handles 215,000 check deposits daily through the app. Business Journals Reports
