Bank of America today announced its opening of a new full-service financial center in Wake Forest, N.C., bringing banking, investing, lending and small business services to new and existing clients in the area. The Gateway Commons financial center serves as a destination to provide clients easy access to expert advice for all of their financial needs.
The new financial center, located at 919 Gateway Commons Cir., is state of the art, and showcases the newest technology, including advanced ATMs; private offices for one-on-one client assistance; on-site specialists, including Merrill financial solutions advisors; and Bank of America lending officers and small business bankers who work as one team to understand a client’s unique circumstances and personal goals to provide the guidance and advice they seek.
This will be the bank’s 30th financial center in the Triangle market and includes the 100th ATM in the market. The bank employs more than 550 people locally, and has provided more than $6 million in local grants and matching gifts to various community organizations since 2014.
This opening reflects Bank of America’s high-tech and high-touch approach and continued investment in and expansion of its financial center and ATM network. The company previously announced plans to open 350 financial centers across the country over the next few years in new and existing markets, including Salt Lake City; Pittsburgh; Indianapolis; Cleveland; Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; and Lexington, Ky.
“Wake Forest has seen significant residential growth over the past several years,” said Kari Stoltz, local market president for Bank of America. “There is no one better positioned locally to help area clients reach their financial goals through our full breadth of banking and investing services and our Preferred Rewards program. We are excited to open our first new full-service financial center in the market in four years.”
Bank of America has a long history of serving the Triangle community, providing retail, commercial and business banking, as well as wealth management services through Merrill, to Triangle-area clients since the 1870s. The region’s thriving economy presents an exciting opportunity to develop and deepen relationships with new and existing clients.

The bank received the top spot and a 5 out of 5 Power Circle Rating in the annual study of retail banking client satisfaction with bank-provided advice offerings.
