Lamorinda Bank Of America Branch Among Nearly 30 Closures In Bay Area

MORAGA, CA — More than two dozen Bank of America locations in the Bay Area and over 100 across the nation are slated for closure by the end of 2024.

The Bank of America Financial Center 1400 Moraga Way in Moraga is among them. The location is already temporarily closed and will permanently close Jan. 30, 2024.

Colleen Haggerty, Bank of America senior vice president of marketing and global affairs, shared the reasoning behind the closures.

"Moraga is a leased property that had low customer traffic, so services will be consolidated to our Lafayette financial center a few miles away," Haggerty said.

"Today, people use digital banking more than ever for their everyday financial needs and come into financial centers for more complex transactions or discussions about their finances," she said. "So we have been adjusting our retail network where centers are located in close proximity to one another, or where client traffic has diminished significantly."

Customers who have a safe box at the Moraga Way branch should call 877-218-8262 for assistance with closing it, according to locators.bankofamerica.com.

There is a stand-alone Bank of America ATM at Rheem Valley Shopping Center, 430 Moraga Road in Moraga. The 24-hour drive-thru ATM accepts deposits and credit card payments, as well as traditional transactions. It is 1.7 miles from the former Moraga Way branch.

The Lafayette Bank of America is at 3530 Mt. Diablo Blvd. — exactly 4 miles from the Moraga Way branch. It is open 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. -4 p.m. Saturday.

From there, the next closest Bank of America branch is 4.5 miles away at 1959 Mountain Blvd. in Montclair. It is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The Bay Area closures were reported by the San Francisco Business Times. According to the newspaper, Bank of America is the largest bank operating in the Bay Area.
