13.6% of BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION's complaints this week were self-tagged by the consumer as coming from an Older American and/or Servicemember household (category average this week: 16.5%).

What customers are saying
500 narratives, 2026-06-02 to 2026-07-01 (narrative text lags ~70 days behind the base complaint record — see How it works). Word size = relative frequency (square-root scaled, so no single word dominates).
