March 29, 2023 at 3:00 PM Eastern
CHARLOTTE, NC – Bank of America today announced that more than 10 million clients have used Life Plan® since its launch in late 2020. Available within the Bank of America mobile app and online banking platform, Life Plan is a first-of-its-kind, personalized digital experience that enables clients to set and track near- and long-term goals based on their life priorities, and better understand and act on steps toward achieving them. Clients who have used Life Plan have added more than $55 billion to their Bank of America accounts, as of December 2022.

“Our clients appreciate having an easy, intuitive way to set, track and adjust their financial goals,” said David Tyrie, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Marketing Officer at Bank of America. “When we launched Life Plan more than two years ago, we did so to provide each client with personalized insights into their financial goals in our app and online, helping them keep track and giving them confidence for what’s ahead.”
Currently, the top goals set by Life Plan users include: Budget and Start Saving (33% of users), Improve Credit (28%), Save for a Large Purchase (21%), Buy a Home (18%), and Travel (16%). This is the first time Travel has appeared as a top 5 goal in Life Plan. This aligns with data from the January Consumer Checkpoint (PDF) from the Bank of America Institute which showed spending with airlines was up more than 20%, and up nearly 5% for lodging, both year over year.

Life Plan’s 10 million user milestone comes at a time when clients’ use of digital capabilities are at record levels. More than 11.6 billion digital logins occurred in 2022 – a 10% year-over-year increase. In addition, last year, 33.5 million clients interacted with Erica®, the first widely available AI-driven virtual financial assistant, and more than 18.2 million Bank of America clients actively used Zelle.
