General economic, political, social and health [removed: conditions] [added: conditions, including any prolonged economic downturn that may occur,] in the U.S. and abroad affect financial markets and our businesses.
In particular, global markets may be affected by the level and volatility of interest rates, availability and market conditions of financing, changes in gross domestic product (GDP), economic growth or its sustainability, inflation, supply chain disruptions, consumer spending, employment levels, labor [removed: shortages, challenging labor] market conditions, wage stagnation, federal government shutdowns, energy prices, home prices, commercial property values, bankruptcies and a default by a significant market participant or class of counterparties, including [removed: companies] in emerging markets.
Global markets also may be affected by adverse developments impacting the U.S. or global banking industry, including bank [removed: failures, the failure of] [added: and] nonbank financial [removed: institutions] [added: institution failures] and liquidity concerns, [added: the actual or perceived impact of asset prices exceeding their underlying economic fundamentals,] fluctuations or other significant changes in both debt and equity capital markets and currencies, the [removed: transition of benchmark rates to alternative reference rates, the] impact of the volatility of digital assets on the broader market, [added: changing perceptions of] the [added: impact and profitability arising from emerging technologies, the] rate of growth of global trade and commerce, trade policies, the availability and cost of capital and credit, disruption of communication, transportation or energy infrastructure, recessionary fears, investor sentiment and the U.S. and global election cycles, including stated, perceived or actual changes to policy and the geopolitical environment.
Global markets, including energy and [added: other] commodity markets, may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of climate [removed: change, acute and/or chronic] [added: matters,] extreme weather events or natural disasters, [removed: the emergence of] widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks, military conflicts, [removed: terrorism,] [added: terrorism] or other geopolitical events.
Any sudden or prolonged market downturn, as a result of the above factors or otherwise, could [removed: result in a decline in] [added: reduce] net interest income and noninterest income and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, including capital and liquidity levels.
Elevated inflation and interest rate levels, monetary tightening by central [removed: banks,] [added: banks] and geopolitical [removed: developments, including the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the conflicts in the Middle East, have adversely impacted and] [added: developments] could continue to adversely impact financial markets and
macroeconomic conditions, as well as result in [removed: additional] [added: increased] market volatility and disruptions and recessionary risk.
Global uncertainties regarding fiscal and monetary policies [added: continue to] present economic challenges.
Actions taken by the Federal Reserve or central banks in other jurisdictions, including changes in target rates, balance sheet management and lending facilities, are beyond our control and difficult to predict, particularly [removed: regarding inflation, due] [added: in response] to the uncertainty of inflationary paths.
[removed: Elevated or rising interest rates may] [added: If inflation does not] continue to [removed: result] [added: decline toward the Federal Reserve’s target, the Federal Reserve may hold the fed funds rate steady or raise rates, resulting] in [added: a flat or inverted yield curve,] volatility of equity and other markets, and volatility of the U.S. dollar, which could impact investor risk appetite and our borrowers, potentially increasing delinquency rates.
Financial market volatility could also result from uncertainty about the timing and extent of any additional rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in response to moderating [removed: inflation and/or] [added: inflation,] weakening economic [added: conditions and/or labor market] conditions.
Also, changes to existing U.S. laws and regulatory policies and evolving priorities, including those related to financial regulation, taxation, international trade, fiscal [removed: policy, climate change (including efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy)] [added: policy] and healthcare, may adversely impact U.S. or global economic activity and our clients’, our counterparties’ and our earnings and operations.
High and rising federal debt levels, investor concerns about [removed: the] U.S. fiscal [removed: trajectory,] [added: spending,] changes to fiscal policy and uncertainty about the U.S. budget process could lead to lower investor appetite [added: or market depth] for [added: future issuance of] U.S. debt securities, higher interest [removed: rates] [added: rates, dollar depreciation] and financial market volatility, potentially impacting broader economic activity.
Further, if the U.S. government’s debt ceiling limit is not [removed: raised] [added: addressed and/or increased] timely, the ramifications may result in market volatility, ratings downgrades and limit fiscal policy responses to recessionary conditions.
This could have a negative and potentially severe impact on the U.S. and world economy and financial and capital markets, including higher interest rates, higher volatility, lower asset values, lower liquidity, downgrades to U.S. debt, and a weakened U.S. [removed: dollar.][added: dollar, which could adversely affect our results of operations.]
[added: Further increases or instability associated with tariffs, either broadly applied or] targeted at specific goods or trading partners, [removed: including Canada, Latin America and the People’s Republic of China (China),] could adversely impact economic conditions and/or result in higher inflation, which could result in financial market volatility as markets adjust to the incremental cost of doing business and/or new business models to reduce the impacts, as well as adversely [removed: impact asset prices.]
Also, [added: the continuation or] escalation of tensions between the U.S. and [removed: China,] [added: the People’s Republic of China (China),] including tariff increases, could lead to further U.S. measures that adversely affect financial markets, disrupt world trade and commerce and lead to trade retaliation, including through the use of counter tariffs, foreign exchange measures or the large-scale sale of U.S. Treasury bonds.
These developments could adversely affect our businesses, clients, including demand for our products and services, our market-making activities, our and our clients’ securities and derivatives portfolios, including the risk of lower re-investment rates in those portfolios, our level of charge-offs and provision for credit losses, the carrying value of our deferred tax assets, our capital levels, our [removed: liquidity] [added: liquidity, our costs of running our businesses] and our results of operations.
Our liquidity, competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by market risks such as changes in interest and currency exchange rates, fluctuations in equity, commodity and futures prices, trading volumes and prices of securitized products, the implied volatility of interest rates and credit [removed: spreads] [added: spreads, idiosyncratic market events] and other economic and business factors.
Changes to fiscal policy, including expansion of U.S. federal deficit spending [removed: and resultant debt issuance,] could also affect [added: the market’s receptivity to debt issuance and] market interest rates.
If interest rates [added: continue to] decrease, our results of operations could be negatively impacted, including future revenue and earnings growth.
[added: Where we own securities that do not have an established liquid trading market or are otherwise subject to restrictions on sale or hedging, or] where the degree of accessible liquidity declines significantly, we may not be able to reduce our positions and risks associated with such holdings, so we may suffer larger than expected losses when adverse price movements take place.
If asset values decline, we may incur losses and negative impacts, including to capital and liquidity [added: positions and] requirements.
In addition, increases in interest rates or changes in spreads may [removed: continue to] adversely impact the fair value of our debt securities and, accordingly, for debt securities classified as available-for-sale (AFS), adversely affect accumulated other comprehensive income and, thus, our capital levels.
If we are unable to access [removed: the] capital markets, [removed: have prolonged] [added: we experience sustained] net [removed: deposits] [added: deposit] outflows, or our borrowing costs increase, our liquidity and competitive position [removed: will] [added: may] be negatively affected.
[removed: We fund] [added: Liquidity is essential to] our [removed: assets] [added: businesses and is] primarily [removed: with] [added: supported by] globally sourced deposits in our bank entities, as well as secured and unsecured liabilities transacted in the capital markets.
[added: We rely on certain secured funding sources,] such as repo markets, which are typically short-term and [added: may be] credit-sensitive.
We also engage in asset securitization transactions, including with the government-sponsored [removed: enterprises (GSEs), to help fund a portion of our consumer lending activities.]
Our liquidity could be adversely affected by any inability to access the capital markets, illiquidity or volatility in the capital markets, the decrease in value of eligible collateral or increased collateral requirements (including as a result of credit concerns for short-term borrowing), changes to our relationships with our funding providers based on real or perceived changes in our risk profile, prolonged federal government shutdowns, or [removed: uncertainties] [added: uncertainty] regarding the impact of [added: potential] GSE [removed: privatization, should it occur.][added: privatization.]
Also, our liquidity or cost of funds may be negatively impacted by the unwillingness or inability of the Federal Reserve to act as lender of last resort, unexpected simultaneous draws on [removed: lines of] credit [added: lines] or deposits, slower client payment rates, restricted access to the assets of prime brokerage clients, the [removed: withdrawal of or] failure to attract [added: or retain] client deposits or invested [removed: funds] [added: funds, including large-scale deposit migration] (e.g., from attrition [removed: driven by] [added: resulting from] clients seeking higher yielding deposits or [removed: securities products, desiring] to [removed: utilize] an alternative financial institution perceived to be safer, changing [added: investment preferences or securities products, moving balances into digital assets (e.g., stablecoin) or other alternative non-bank financial platforms, changes to] spending behavior due to inflation, [added: a] decline in the economy or other drivers resulting in an increased need for cash), increased regulatory liquidity, capital and margin requirements for our U.S. or international banks and their nonbank subsidiaries, which could result in the inability to transfer liquidity internally, changes in patterns of intraday liquidity usage resulting from a counterparty or technology failure or other idiosyncratic event or failure, the default by a significant market participant or third party (including clearing agents, custodians, central banks or central counterparty clearinghouses (CCPs)) or the inability to sell assets due to illiquid markets (e.g., no market exists or market saturation).
Several of these factors may arise [removed: due to] [added: from] circumstances beyond our control, such as general market volatility, disruption, shock or stress, stress in sovereign debt markets, the emergence of widespread health emergencies or [removed: pandemics] [added: pandemics, sanctions] and geopolitical events and/or turmoil (including military [removed: conflicts, such as the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the conflicts in the Middle East, or any potential escalation of such] conflicts).
Federal Reserve policy decisions (including fluctuations in interest rates or Federal Reserve balance sheet composition), negative views or loss of confidence about [removed: us or] [added: us,] the financial services industry [removed: generally] or [added: the U.S. monetary system generally, or] due to a specific news event (e.g., [removed: regional] bank failures), [added: the further development and acceptance of nonbank digital asset ecosystems (e.g., stablecoin),] changes in the regulatory environment or governmental fiscal or monetary policies, actions by credit rating agencies or an operational problem that affects third parties or us.
The impact of these potentially sudden events, whether within our control or not, could [removed: include an] [added: result in our] inability to sell assets or redeem investments, unforeseen outflows of cash, [removed: the need to draw] [added: draws] on liquidity facilities, [removed: the reduction of] [added: reduced] financing [removed: balances and] [added: balances,] the loss of equity secured funding, debt repurchases to support the secondary market or meet client requests, the need for additional funding for commitments and contingencies and unexpected collateral calls, among other things, the result of which could be increased costs, a liquidity shortfall and/or impact on our liquidity coverage [added: ratio and net stable funding] ratio.
Our liquidity and cost of funds may be impacted by [removed: our reputation risk,] [added: reputational damage,] investor behavior and confidence, debt market disruption, firm specific concerns or prevailing market conditions, including changes in interest and currency exchange rates, significant fluctuations in equity and futures prices, lower [removed: trading volumes and prices of securitized products and our credit spreads.]
[added: Increases in interest rates and our credit] spreads can increase [removed: the cost of our] funding [added: costs] and result in mark-to-market or credit valuation adjustment exposures.
[removed: Changes in our credit spreads] [added: Credit spread changes] are market driven and may be influenced by market perceptions of our creditworthiness, including [removed: changes in our] credit [removed: ratings] [added: rating changes] or changes in broader financial market and macroeconomic conditions.
We may also experience net interest margin compression from offering higher than expected deposit rates in order to attract and maintain [removed: deposits.][added: deposits or otherwise.]
Concentrations within our funding profile, such as [removed: maturities, currencies] [added: by maturity, currency] or [removed: counterparties,] [added: counterparty,] can also reduce our funding efficiency.
[removed: Our] [added: Rating agencies conduct ongoing reviews of our] credit ratings [removed: are subject to ongoing review by rating agencies, which consider] [added: based on] a number of financial and nonfinancial factors, including our franchise, financial strength, performance and prospects, management, governance, risk management practices, capital adequacy, asset quality and operations, among other criteria, as well as factors [removed: not under] [added: beyond] our control, such as regulatory developments, [removed: the] macroeconomic and geopolitical [removed: environment and] [added: conditions,] changes [removed: to] [added: in] rating [removed: methodologies.][added: methodologies or U.S. sovereign debt ratings.]

Also, the use of cyberattacks or campaigns, cyberespionage or other unauthorized access to networks and systems by nation states or their proxies, including utilizing emerging technologies such as AI, has increased and threatens our and our third parties’ operations and information systems, and the financial systems and infrastructure upon which we rely.
The uncertainty around the U.S. government’s debt levels and ceiling and a growing federal budget deficit could lead to further credit rating downgrades and/or defaults on its debt.
Our extensive interactions with,
This includes localized or systemic cyber events or other technology
incidents that result in outages or unavailability of information systems, part or all of the internet, cloud services and/or the financial services industry, networks, platforms, systems and infrastructure (e.g., funds transfers, electronic trading and algorithmic platforms and critical banking activities), which could be exacerbated by the interconnectivity and concentration of technology or service offerings in a small number of providers or models, including AI and cloud services, and result in systemic operational impact to us and across the financial services industry or beyond.
We use, and expect to increasingly use, emerging technologies, including AI, across our operations, including business processes, services and products, and we expect greater AI adoption by our third parties, clients, counterparties, clearinghouses and financial intermediaries.
Expanded use of AI, including emerging third‑party AI services and autonomous AI agents, may result in increased data risk, unpredictable system interactions, inadequate controls or safeguards, AI failure, or produce unintended operations or consequences.
AI services used by our clients or third parties may interact with our systems or communicate directly with our employees, and may act without authorization, make execution errors, behave unpredictably or be misaligned with intended outcomes, which could result in additional operational, legal and regulatory risk, and reputational harm.
The Corporation and third parties with whom we interact and/or on whom we rely, are subject to cybersecurity incidents,
The tactics, techniques and procedures used in cyberattacks are pervasive, sophisticated, rapidly evolving and designed to evade security measures.
Emerging technologies, such as AI and quantum computing, are expected to increase these risks.
For example, AI lowers the entry barriers to plan and execute cyberattacks, enables more personalized and harder to detect social engineering, and improves vulnerability discovery, which may result in the increased likelihood of exploitation and the speed, scope, scale, and sophistication of cyberattacks.
Advances in quantum computing may introduce cryptography risks that threaten the
security of our information and systems and strengthen threat actor capabilities in ways that are difficult to anticipate.
These technologies, alone or in combination with others, may amplify the risks they pose.
We also face significant third-party technology, cybersecurity and operational risks relating to the large number of clients and third parties on whom we rely to operate our business.

Actions by other financial institutions in businesses in which we operate may result in regulatory investigations adversely affecting us.
Monetary policy has contributed to and may continue to result in elevated market interest rates and a flat and/or inverted yield curve.
Any increases in policy rates, as a response to inflation persistently above central bank targets, changes to fiscal or trade policies, or otherwise, could result in higher market interest rates.
Globally, although many central banks have begun to remove monetary restriction, policy rates in many countries remain at elevated levels.
While higher interest rates have generally had a positive impact on our net interest income, they have negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact investment securities, deposits, loan demand and funding costs.
In addition to higher interest rates, wider credit spreads can negatively impact capital and/or liquidity by reducing the value of debt securities.

The proliferation of third-party financial data aggregators and emerging technologies, including AI (such as
machine learning and generative AI) and robotics, increases our cybersecurity risks and exposure, including by making fraud detection and authentication more difficult.
Cybersecurity threats and the tactics, techniques and procedures used in cyberattacks change, develop and evolve rapidly and continuously, including from growth in third-party services that facilitate or carry out cyberattacks and from emerging technologies, such as AI (including machine learning and generative AI) and quantum computing, which may be used to enhance the tactics, techniques and procedures described above and facilitate new cyber threats.
We also face significant third-party technology, cybersecurity and operational risks relating to the large number of clients and third parties with whom we do business, the financial services industry, upon whom we rely to facilitate or enable our business activities or upon whom our clients rely, including the secure collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination and disposition of client and other sensitive information, providers of products and services, financial counterparties, financial data aggregators, financial intermediaries, such as clearing agents, exchanges and clearing

Actions by other members of the financial services industry related to business activities in which we participate may result in investigations by regulators or other government authorities.
In particular, we are the subject of litigation regarding our processing of electronic payments through the Zelle network,
our efforts to detect, prevent and address fraud perpetrated against our clients and/or the handling of fraud-related disputes, which could result in fines, judgments and/or settlements, and adversely affect our businesses and strategies due to the treatment of loss allocations between clients and us, all of which could also adversely impact other similar products and services.
In 2023, U.S. banking regulators issued notices of proposed rulemaking to revise the measurement of RWA and the G-SIB surcharge calculation, both of which may be re-proposed.
Also, in 2023, U.S. banking regulators issued proposed changes to the long-term debt requirements for TLAC, which may impact eligibility of certain debt instruments, and in 2024, the Federal Reserve separately confirmed it is considering changes to existing, as well as new, liquidity requirements.
The timing and composition of any such proposals or re-proposals remain uncertain due to various factors, including changes of leadership positions in the U.S. bank regulatory agencies.
For example, in 2024, our SCB increased by 70 bps to 3.2 percent and our G-SIB surcharge increased 50 bps to 3.0 percent.
In 2024, the Federal Reserve announced that it intends to propose potential changes to bank stress tests, which could impact our SCB.

Increases in market interest rates have resulted in increased focus on asset and liability management, including HTM and AFS securities and related unrealized losses.

Change in Accounting Policy
Effective in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Corporation has elected to change its accounting methods related to its affordable housing, eligible wind renewable energy and solar renewable energy equity investments.
The Corporation determined that the new accounting methods are preferable as they better align the financial statement presentation with the economic impact of the tax-related equity investments.
For its affordable housing and eligible wind renewable energy equity investments, the Corporation changed its accounting from the equity method of accounting to the proportional amortization method.
For its solar renewable energy equity investments, the Corporation changed its accounting for the investment tax credits (ITCs) to the deferral method, where previously the ITCs and applicable equity investment costs were recognized when the underlying facilities were placed in service.
The new accounting methods are described more fully herein within the Equity Securities section of the Significant Accounting Principles.
The accounting changes were applied retrospectively to the earliest period presented, resulting in a cumulative adjustment that decreased retained earnings by $1.2 billion as of January 1, 2023.
In addition, the accounting changes had an insignificant impact on net income on an annualized basis.

and related weightings and the reasonableness of certain qualitative reserves.
*Valuation of Certain Level 3 Financial Instruments*
As described in Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation carries certain financial instruments at fair value, which includes $10.0 billion of assets and $6.3 billion of liabilities classified as Level 3 fair value measurements that are valued on a recurring basis and $3.1 billion of assets classified as Level 3 fair value measurements that are valued on a nonrecurring basis, for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The Corporation determines the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Unobservable inputs, such as volatility or implied yield, may be determined using quantitative-based extrapolations, pricing models or other internal methodologies which incorporate management estimates and available market information.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of certain Level 3 financial instruments is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment and estimation used by management to determine the fair value of these financial instruments, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence obtained, including the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of financial instruments, including controls related to valuation models, significant unobservable inputs, and data.
These procedures also included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in developing an independent estimate of fair value for a sample of these certain financial instruments and comparison of management’s estimate to the independently developed estimate of fair value.
Developing the independent estimate involved testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management and evaluating the reasonableness of management’s significant unobservable inputs.

In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Corporation hired over 18,000 teammates reflecting a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, [added: skills] and perspectives so that we understand and can respond to the needs of our clients and communities.
We have 11 Employee Networks with over [removed: 320,000] [added: 330,000] voluntary memberships, which provide teammates opportunities to meet new people, have an impact across multiple business lines and grow personally and professionally.
In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] more than [removed: 12,000] [added: 14,000] employees found new roles within the Corporation, and we delivered [removed: approximately] [added: more than] 7.6 million hours of training and development to our teammates through Bank of America Academy.
In [removed: 2024, 87] [added: 2025, 86] percent of the Corporation’s employees participated in the Survey, and our Employee Engagement Index, an overall measure of employee satisfaction with the Corporation, was [removed: 84] [added: 86] percent.
Our turnover among employees was stable at 8 percent in both [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
In October [removed: 2024, as a next step towards that goal,] [added: 2025,] the Corporation [removed: increased] [added: took] its [removed: hourly] [added: final step to reach this goal by raising its U.S.] minimum [added: hourly] wage [removed: for U.S. employees to] [added: from] $24 [added: to $25] per hour.
In addition, in January [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] for the [removed: eighth] [added: ninth] year since 2017, we announced that we recognized our teammates with Sharing Success compensation awards for their efforts during [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Approximately [removed: 97] [added: 96] percent of employees globally will receive an award in the first quarter of [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we continued our efforts to provide affordable access to healthcare.
For the [removed: 12th] [added: 13th] year in a row, U.S. health insurance premiums remained unchanged for teammates earning less than $50,000.
For more information about our human capital management, see the Corporation’s website and [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Annual Report to shareholders that we expect to be available on the Investor Relations portion of our website in March [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] (the content of which is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
The scope of the LRRs and the intensity of the supervision to which we are subject [removed: have continuously increased over the years.][added: is significant.]
For instance, our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to both U.S. and international [removed: regulation,] [added: regulation and supervision,] including [removed: supervision] by the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and New York Stock Exchange, among others; our futures commission merchant subsidiary supporting commodities and derivatives businesses in the U.S. is subject to regulation by and supervision of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), National Futures Association, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and in the case of the Banks, certain banking regulators; our insurance activities are subject to licensing and regulation by state insurance regulatory agencies; and our consumer financial products and services are regulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
In addition, certain U.S. and foreign subsidiaries are also registered with the CFTC as swap dealers, [removed: and conditionally registered with the SEC as security-based swap dealers.]
As of the date of this report, the DIF [removed: is below] [added: satisfied] the statutory minimum [removed: ratio and the FDIC’s] [added: ratio, but it has not reached this] long-term goal.
For example, in 2023, the FDIC issued its final rule to impose a special assessment to recover the loss to the DIF resulting from the closure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature [removed: Bank.][added: Bank, the amount of which has been subsequently reduced.]
These continually evolving rules are likely to influence our planning processes and may [removed: require additional] [added: result in changes to] regulatory capital and liquidity, as well as impose additional operational and compliance costs on the Corporation.
For example, based on the results of our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] CCAR stress test, the Corporation’s SCB [removed: increased] [added: decreased] to [removed: 3.2] [added: 2.5] percent.
Additionally, the Corporation’s G-SIB surcharge [removed: increased to] [added: is] 3.0 [removed: percent on January 1, 2024.][added: percent.]
Additionally, the applicable federal regulatory authority is authorized to determine, under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of a bank or BHC, [removed: that] [added: if] the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof.
At June 30, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we held greater than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the U.S.
In addition, the Financial Reform Act restricts acquisitions by a financial institution if, as a result of the acquisition, the total liabilities of the financial institution would exceed 10 percent of the total liabilities of all financial institutions in the U.S. At June 30, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] our liabilities did not exceed 10 percent of the total liabilities of all financial institutions in the U.S.
In addition, many G-20 jurisdictions, including the U.S., EU, U.K., and Japan, have adopted resolution stay regulations to address concerns that the close-out of derivatives and other financial contracts could impede orderly resolution of [removed: G-SIBs, and additional jurisdictions are expected to follow suit.][added: G-SIBs.]
Our consumer businesses are subject to extensive [added: federal] regulation and oversight by federal and state [removed: regulators.][added: authorities.]
[added: We are subject to numerous federal consumer protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act,] Fair Housing Act, Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), Fair Credit Reporting Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, prohibitions on unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices, Truth in Lending [removed: Act and] [added: Act,] Truth in Savings [removed: Act, are enforced by] [added: Act and] the [removed: CFPB.][added: Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.]
Other laws and regulations, at the international, federal and state level, impact our ability to share certain information with [added: affiliates and non-affiliates for marketing and/or non-marketing purposes, or contact customers with marketing offers and establish certain rights of consumers in connection with their]
For example, California’s Consumer Privacy Act [removed: (CCPA),] [added: (CCPA)] provides consumers with the right to know what personal data is being collected, know whether their personal data is [removed: sold] [added: sold,] or disclosed [added: for purposes of targeted marketing,] and to [removed: whom] [added: whom,] and opt out of the sale [added: or disclosure] of their personal data, among other rights.
In addition, in the EU and other countries around the world, similar laws, [removed: like] [added: such as] the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), afford those countries’ residents with certain rights related to their information and may impose additional obligations on financial institutions.
[removed: These laws’] [added: The] impact [added: of these laws] on the Corporation [removed: was] [added: is] assessed and addressed through comprehensive compliance implementation programs.
Additionally, we are subject to certain actions of the U.S. executive branch, including executive orders (Executive Branch Actions).

Effective in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Corporation elected to change accounting methods for its tax-related affordable housing, eligible wind renewable energy and solar renewable energy equity investments, which were applied on a retrospective basis.
The Corporation determined that the new accounting methods are preferable, as they better align the financial statement presentation with the economic impact of these equity investments.
The primary impact of the accounting changes is a reclassification between income statement line items that nets income tax credits and benefits against the investment expense.
Certain prior-period information presented herein has been revised to reflect the accounting method changes.
For more information, see *Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles* to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Exhibit 18 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Natural Disasters
Certain Bank of America communities, clients and teammates were significantly impacted by recent wildfires in California and by hurricanes in the southeastern U.S. during the second half of 2024.
In response, Bank of America activated client assistance programs, donated to disaster relief efforts and provided additional support to teammates in the affected areas.
The Corporation continues to evaluate the effects of the wildfires and hurricanes on its clients and communities and does not expect these natural disasters to have a material impact on its businesses, results of operations or financial condition.

| Other income | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3,431) | | | | | | (3,091) | | |
Noninterest income increased $4.2 billion to $45.8 billion in 2024 compared to 2023.
● Card income increased $230 million primarily due to higher late fees, annual fees and card transfer fees.
● Other income decreased $340 million primarily due to higher partnership losses on tax credit investments, a charge related to Visa Inc.’s (Visa) increase in its litigation escrow account, and certain negative valuation adjustments, partially offset by lower losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities and gains on sales of equity investments.
The provision for credit losses increased $1.4 billion to $5.8 billion for 2024 compared to 2023.
For the prior year, the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by credit card loan growth and asset quality deterioration, partially offset by improved macroeconomic conditions that primarily benefited the commercial portfolio.
Noninterest expense increased $967 million to $66.8 billion in 2024 compared to 2023.
Also included in the effective tax rate for 2023 were tax impacts related to the FDIC special assessment and BSBY’s cessation announced in 2023.
Absent the tax credits and discrete tax benefits, the effective tax rates would have been approximately 25 percent for both periods.
