About the role

At Bank of America, we help make financial lives better through the power of every connection.

You will work in a financial center, delivering core banking and investment solutions while collaborating with partners across Bank of America and Merrill. After demonstrating success as an FSA I, you will typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, deepening client relationships and expanding your impact. The Academy provides ongoing support, tools, and resources to guide your career growth.

This role requires SAFE Act registration, including a background check and federal registry compliance. Failure to maintain registration may result in termination.
