Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation) and its management may make certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipates,” “targets,” “expects,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “outlook,” “believes,” “continue” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements represent the Corporation’s current expectations, plans or forecasts of its or its business segments’ future results, which may include, among other measures, revenue, liquidity, net interest income, net interest yield, other income, provision for credit losses, expenses, operating leverage, effective tax rate, efficiency ratio, capital measures (including capital measures which utilize tangible common equity), deposits and assets, as well as strategy, future business and economic conditions more generally, and other future matters. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond the Corporation’s control. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any of the Corporation’s subsequent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings: the Corporation’s potential judgments, orders, settlements, penalties, fines and reputational damage, which are inherently difficult to predict, including related to the adequacy of the Corporation’s anti-money laundering and economic sanctions compliance programs (including the October 2026 consent orders associated therewith) and pending, threatened or future litigation and regulatory inquiries, demands, requests, investigations, proceedings and enforcement actions, which the Corporation is subject to in the ordinary course of business, including matters related to our processing of unemployment benefits for California and certain other states, the features of our automatic credit card payment service and the processing of electronic payments, including through the Zelle network, and related fraud, which are in various stages; in connection with ongoing litigation, the impact of certain changes to Visa’s and Mastercard’s respective card payment network rules and reductions in interchange fees for U.S.-based merchants; the possibility that the Corporation’s future liabilities may be in excess of its recorded liability and estimated range of possible loss for litigation, and regulatory and government actions; the impact of U.S. and global interest rates (including the potential for fluctuations in interest rates), inflation, currency exchange rates, economic conditions, trade policies and tensions, including changes in, or the imposition of, tariffs and/or
trade barriers and the economic impacts, volatility and uncertainty resulting therefrom, which may have varying effects across industries and geographies, and geopolitical instability; uncertainties about the financial stability and growth rates of non-U.S. jurisdictions, the risk that those jurisdictions may face difficulties servicing their sovereign debt, and related stresses on financial markets, currencies and trade, and the Corporation’s exposures to such risks, including direct, indirect and operational; the impact of the interest rate, inflationary, macroeconomic, banking and regulatory environment on the Corporation’s assets, business, financial condition and results of operations; the impact of adverse developments affecting the U.S. or global banking industry, including a deterioration in private credit markets, bank failures and liquidity concerns, resulting in worsening economic and market volatility, and regulatory responses thereto; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected, including due to changes in economic assumptions, which may include unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels and corporate bond spreads, customer behavior, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties, such as the impact of trade policies, supply chain disruptions, commodity prices, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on economic conditions and our business; potential losses related to the Corporation's concentration of credit risk; the Corporation’s ability to achieve its expense targets (including noninterest expense) and expectations regarding revenue, net interest income, operating leverage, other income, provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, effective tax rate, loan or deposit growth or other projections and targets; variances to the underlying assumptions and judgments used in estimating banking book net interest income sensitivity; adverse changes to the Corporation’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies; an inability to access capital markets or maintain deposits or borrowing costs; estimates of the fair value and other accounting values, subject to impairment assessments, of certain of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities; the estimated or actual impact of changes in accounting standards or assumptions in applying those standards; uncertainty regarding the content, timing and impact of regulatory capital and liquidity requirements; the impact of adverse changes to total loss-absorbing capacity requirements, stress capital buffer requirements and/or global systemically important bank surcharges; the potential impact of actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the Corporation’s capital plans; the effect of changes in or interpretations of income tax laws and regulations, including impacts from the 2025 Budget Reconciliation Act; the impact of implementation and compliance with U.S. and international laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations, including recovery and resolution planning requirements, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, fiduciary standards, derivatives regulations and potential changes to loss allocations between financial institutions and customers, including for losses incurred from the use of our products and services, including electronic

payments and payment of checks, that were authorized by the customer but induced by fraud; the impact of failures or disruptions in or breaches of the Corporation’s operations or information systems, or those of various third parties, including regulators and federal and state governments, such as from cybersecurity incidents; the risks related to the development, implementation, use and management of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and the ability to achieve expected or potential benefits, such as increased productivity, profitability and cost savings; the risks related to the transition and physical impacts of climate change; our ability to achieve environmental goals or the impact of any changes in the Corporation’s sustainability or human capital management strategy or goals; the impact of uncertain or changing political conditions, federal government shutdowns, including partial shutdowns, and uncertainty regarding the federal government’s debt limit or changes in fiscal, monetary, trade or regulatory policy; the emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics; the impact of natural disasters, extreme weather events, military conflicts (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflicts in the Middle East, the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical and economic consequences), civil unrest, terrorism or other geopolitical events; and other matters.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

Recent Developments
Capital Management
On October 21, 2026, the Corporation’s Board of Directors (Board) declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.32 per share, payable on December 24, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 4, 2026.
For more information on our capital resources, see Capital Management beginning on page 19.
Regulatory Settlement
On October 13, 2026, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced regulatory resolutions related to certain aspects of the Corporation’s U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions Compliance Programs (Programs). These resolutions included consent orders with the OCC and FinCEN and a settlement agreement with OFAC. As a result, for the third quarter of 2026, the Corporation recorded a $1.2 billion non-tax-deductible charge in noninterest expense to accrue for the civil money penalties resulting from the regulatory consent orders and the settlement agreement (“regulatory settlement charge”).
FinCEN’s consent order and the previously disclosed December 2024 OCC consent order require the Corporation to undertake certain remedial actions to the Programs, including engaging independent consultants to review certain historical transactions, customer due diligence, foreign correspondent account due diligence, and Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering data governance. The Corporation has completed significant steps to satisfy the requirements of the December 2024 OCC consent order. Since late 2023, the Corporation has increased the number of personnel dedicated to these activities and has made investments in technology and other resources supporting the remediation and ongoing compliance. The Corporation does not expect that the ongoing operating costs associated with these remediation and compliance activities will have a significant impact on consolidated noninterest expense in future periods.
For more information, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income was $6.9 billion and $24.6 billion, or $0.91 and $3.23 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $8.3 billion and $22.9 billion, or $1.04 and $2.84 per diluted share, for the same periods in 2025. The decrease in net income for the three-month period was primarily due to higher noninterest expense and lower noninterest income, partially offset by higher net interest income. The increase in net income for the nine-month period was due to higher net interest income and noninterest income, as well as lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Total assets increased $16.0 billion from December 31, 2025 to $3.4 trillion primarily driven by higher loans and leases due to growth in commercial loans, higher securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell and higher derivative assets to support Global Markets client activity, as well as higher cash and cash equivalents due to balance sheet positioning, partially offset by lower debt securities due to net sales, maturities, and paydowns, as well as lower trading account assets due to Global Markets client activity.
Total liabilities increased $22.5 billion from December 31, 2025 to $3.1 trillion primarily driven by deposit growth in Global Banking, higher derivative liabilities, customer trade payables, and trading account liabilities to support Global Markets client activity, as well as higher short-term borrowings, partially offset by lower securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase driven by balance sheet positioning.
Shareholders’ equity decreased $6.5 billion from December 31, 2025 primarily due to returns of capital to shareholders through common stock repurchases and common and preferred stock dividends, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) and a preferred stock redemption, partially offset by net income.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $1.2 billion to $16.4 billion, and $3.8 billion to $48.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. Net interest yield on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis increased 15 basis points (bps) to 2.16 percentand 12 bps to 2.10 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase in the three-month period was primarily driven by loan and deposit growth, higher net interest income related to Global Markets activity, and fixed-asset repricing, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates. The increase in the nine-month period was primarily driven by higher net interest income related to Global Markets activity, loan and deposit growth, and fixed-asset repricing, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates. For more information on net interest yield and FTE basis, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 6, and for more information on interest rate risk management, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book on page 43.

Noninterest income decreased $298 million to $13.5 billion and increased $3.2 billion to $43.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The following highlights the significant changes.
● Service charges increased $44 million and $248 million primarily due to higher treasury service charges.
● Investment and brokerage services increased $698 million and $2.3 billion primarily driven by higher asset management fees reflecting higher market valuations and the impact of positive assets under management (AUM) flows.
● Investment banking fees decreased $214 million for the three-month period due to lower debt issuance and advisory fees. The increase of $814 million in the nine-month period was driven by higher equity issuance, advisory and debt issuance fees.
● Market making and similar activities decreased $843 million for the three-month period, primarily driven by lower trading revenue from credit products in Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC), as well as lower income from foreign currency risk management activities. The increase of
$234 million in the nine-month period was primarily driven by higher trading revenue in Equities, partially offset by lower income from foreign currency risk management activities.
●Other income increased $85 million for the three-month period primarily due to relatively higher equity investment expenses recognized in the prior year related to certain tax-related equity investments. The decrease of $226 million in the nine-month period was primarily due to gains recorded on leveraged finance activities in the prior-year period, partially offset by relatively higher equity investment expenses recognized in the prior year related to certain tax-related equity investments placed in service during that period.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses decreased $26 million to $1.3 billion and $395 million to $4.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. For more information on the provision for credit losses, see Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The effective tax rate (ETR) increased for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily driven by the $1.2 billion discrete non-tax-deductible regulatory settlement charge. The ETR increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily driven by lower tax preference benefits relative to pretax earnings and the discrete non-tax-deductible regulatory settlement charge.
Supplemental Financial Data
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items or otherwise include components that differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional useful information to assess our financial condition, results of operations (including period-to-period operating performance) or compliance with prospective regulatory requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may not be defined or calculated the same way as non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
When presented on a consolidated basis, we view net interest income on an FTE basis as a non-GAAP financial measure. To derive the FTE basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent and a representative state tax rate. Net interest yield, which measures the basis points we earn over the cost of funds, utilizes net interest income on an FTE basis. We believe that presentation of these items on an FTE basis allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practices.
We may present certain key performance indicators and ratios excluding certain items (e.g., debit valuation adjustment (DVA) gains (losses)), which result in non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of measures that exclude these items is useful because such measures provide additional information to assess the underlying operational performance and trends of our businesses and to allow better comparison of period-to-period operating performance.
We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common equity represents common shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)), net of related deferred tax liabilities (“adjusted” common shareholders’ equity). These measures are used to evaluate our use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models use return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity as a key measure to support our overall growth objectives. Measures utilizing tangible common equity are:
● Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity measures our net income applicable to common shareholders as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders’ equity.
● Tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets.
● Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by ending common shares outstanding.
We believe ratios utilizing tangible common equity provide additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. Tangible book value per common share provides additional useful information about the level of tangible assets in relation to outstanding shares of common stock.
The aforementioned supplemental data and performance measures are presented in Table 5 on page 7.
For more information on the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, see Non-GAAP Reconciliations on page 46.
Key Performance Indicators
We present certain key financial and nonfinancial performance indicators (key performance indicators) that management uses when assessing our consolidated and/or segment results. We believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our underlying operational performance and trends. These key performance indicators (KPIs) may not be defined or calculated in the same way as similar KPIs used by other companies. For information on how these metrics are defined, see Key Metrics on page 101.
Our consolidated key performance indicators, which include various equity and credit metrics, are presented in Table 1 on page 4, and Table 5 on page 7.
For information on key segment performance metrics, see Business Segment Operations on page 10.

Business Segment Operations
Segment Description and Basis of Presentation
We report our results of operations through four business segments: Consumer Banking, GWIM, Global Banking and Global Markets, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other. We manage our segments and report their results on an FTE basis. For more information, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We periodically review capital allocated to our businesses and allocate capital annually during the strategic and capital planning processes. We utilize a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based capital models. The capital allocated to the business segments is referred to as allocated capital. Allocated equity in the reporting units is comprised of allocated capital plus capital
for the portion of goodwill and intangibles specifically assigned to the reporting unit. For more information, including the definition of a reporting unit, see Note 7 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For more information on our presentation of financial information on an FTE basis, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 6, and for reconciliations to consolidated total revenue, net income and period-end total assets, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Key Performance Indicators
We present certain key financial and nonfinancial performance indicators that management uses when evaluating segment results. We believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our segments’ operational performance, client trends and business growth.

The provision for credit losses decreased $59 million to $210 million primarily driven by improved asset quality within the commercial real estate portfolio.
Noninterest expense increased $206 million to $3.3 billion primarily due to continued investments in the business, including people and technology.
Nine-Month Comparison
Net income for Global Banking increased $416 million to $6.1 billion due to higher noninterest income and net interest income, as well as lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net interest income increased $314 million to $9.7 billion primarily due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
Noninterest income increased $544 million to $9.0 billion primarily due to higher investment banking fees, treasury service charges and tax-related equity investment income, partially offset by gains related to sales of certain leveraged finance positions in the prior-year period.
The provision for credit losses decreased $90 million to $610 million primarily driven by improved asset quality within the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by loan growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio and a qualitative reserve build related to uncertainties associated with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
Noninterest expense increased $374 million to $9.7 billion, primarily due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.

Three-Month Comparison
Including and excluding net DVA, FICC revenue decreased $527 million and $530 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. These decreases were driven by weaker trading performance in mortgage, municipals, and credit products. Including and excluding net DVA, Equities revenue increased $240 million and $237 million, respectively, driven by increased client financing activity, particularly in Asia and the U.S., partially offset by weaker trading performance in derivatives and cash.
Nine-Month Comparison
Including and excluding net DVA, FICC revenue decreased $180 million and $211 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.

(1)In segments where the total of liabilities and equity exceeds assets, which are generally deposit-taking segments, we allocate assets from All Other to those segments to match liabilities (i.e., deposits) and allocated shareholders’ equity. Average allocated assets were $976.8 billion and $987.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $994.4 billion and $984.3 billion for the same periods in 2025, and period-end allocated assets were $981.7 billion and $1.0 trillion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
n/m = not meaningful
All Other primarily consists of asset and liability management (ALM) activities, liquidating businesses and certain expenses not otherwise allocated to a business segment, and adjustments to allocate income tax benefits from tax-related equity investments to noninterest income to present Global Banking and Global Markets on an FTE basis. ALM activities encompass interest rate and foreign currency risk management activities for which substantially all of the results are allocated to our business segments. For more information on our ALM activities, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Three-Month Comparison
The net loss in All Other increased $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion primarily due to higher noninterest expense.
Noninterest expense increased $1.2 billion due to the non-tax-deductible regulatory settlement charge. The income tax benefit decreased $120 million primarily due to lower tax preference items.
Nine-Month Comparison
The net loss in All Other increased $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion primarily due to higher noninterest expense.
Noninterest expense increased$1.1 billion, and the income tax benefit decreased $404 million primarily due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.

Managing Risk
Risk is inherent in all our business activities. The seven key types of risk faced by the Corporation are strategic, credit, market, liquidity, compliance, operational and reputational. Sound risk management enables us to serve our customers and deliver for our shareholders. If not managed well, risk can result in financial loss, regulatory sanctions and penalties, litigation and damage to our reputation, each of which may adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategies. We take a comprehensive approach to risk management with a defined Risk Framework and an articulated Risk Appetite Statement, which are approved annually by the Board’s Enterprise Risk Committee (ERC) and the Board.
Our Risk Framework serves as the foundation for the consistent and effective management of risks facing the Corporation. The Risk Framework sets forth roles and responsibilities for the management of risk and provides a blueprint for how the Board, through delegation of authority to committees and executive officers, establishes risk appetite and associated limits for our activities.
Our risk appetite provides a common framework that includes a set of measures to assist senior management and the Board in assessing the Corporation’s risk profile across all risk types against our risk appetite and risk capacity. Our risk appetite is formally articulated in the Risk Appetite Statement, which includes both qualitative statements and quantitative limits.
For more information on the Corporation’s risks, see Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks are being managed within our Risk Framework and supporting risk management programs. For more information on our Risk Framework, risk management activities and the key types of risk faced by the Corporation, see the Managing Risk section in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Capital Management
The Corporation manages its capital position so that its capital is more than adequate to support its business activities and aligns with risk, risk appetite and strategic planning. For more information, see Capital Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CCAR and Capital Planning
The Federal Reserve requires BHCs with average total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more to submit a capital plan and planned capital actions on an annual basis, consistent with the rules governing the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) capital plan and associated stress capital buffer (SCB) requirements, which include supervisory stress testing by the Federal Reserve. At September 30, 2026, the Corporation’s SCB was 2.5 percent, with a Common equity tier 1 (CET1) minimum requirement of 10.0 percent under the Standardized approach. For more information on the Corporation’s SCB requirement, see Regulatory Developments on page 23.
On July 23, 2025, the Board authorized a $40 billion common stock repurchase program, effective August 1, 2025. Pursuant to this Board authorization, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation repurchased $6.0 billion of common stock. For more information, including the remaining buyback authority amount as of September 30, 2026, see Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds on page 103 and Capital Management – CCAR and Capital Planning in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The timing and amount of common stock repurchases are subject to various factors, including the Corporation’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance and alternative uses of capital, stock trading price, regulatory requirements and general market conditions, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Such repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).
Further, as part of our planned capital actions, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation paid common stock dividends of $2.2 billion.
On October 23, 2026, the Corporation issued 80,000 shares of 7.200% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series WW for $2.0 billion, with quarterly dividends commencing in January 2027. The Series WW preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is subject to certain restrictions in the event the Corporation fails to declare and pay full dividends.
Regulatory Capital
As a BHC, we are subject to regulatory capital rules issued by U.S. banking regulators, including the U.S. rules implementing the Basel 3 capital framework (Basel 3). Basel 3 established minimum capital ratios and buffer requirements and outlined two methods of calculating risk-weighted assets (RWA), the Standardized approach and the Advanced approaches. The Standardized approach relies primarily on supervisory risk weights based on exposure type, and the Advanced approaches determine risk weights based on internal models.
The Corporation's depository institution subsidiaries are also subject to the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework. The Corporation and its primary affiliated banking entity, BANA, are Advanced approaches institutions under Basel 3 and are required to report regulatory risk-based capital ratios and RWA under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The lower of the capital ratios under Standardized or Advanced approaches compared to their respective regulatory capital ratio requirements is used to assess capital adequacy, including under the PCA framework. As of September 30, 2026, the Corporation’s binding ratio was the Total capital ratio under the Standardized approach.
Minimum Capital Requirements
In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, the Corporation must meet risk-based capital ratio requirements that include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent (under the Advanced approaches only), an SCB (under the Standardized approach only), plus any applicable countercyclical capital buffer and a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge. The buffers and surcharge are components of CET1 capital requirements. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation’s minimum CET1 requirement was 10.0 percent under both the Standardized approach and the Advanced approaches. At September 30, 2026, the Corporation’s CET1 capital ratio was 10.9 percent under the Standardized approach and 12.0 percent under the Advanced approaches.
The Corporation is required to calculate its G-SIB surcharge on an annual basis under two methods and is subject to the higher of the resulting two surcharges. Method 1 is consistent with the approach prescribed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s assessment methodology and is
19Bank of America
calculated using specified indicators of systemic importance. Method 2 modifies the Method 1 approach for various factors. The Corporation’s Method 1 G-SIB surcharge is 1.5 percent, and its Method 2 G-SIB surcharge is 3.0 percent. Under the current regulatory framework, on January 1, 2027, the Corporation’s G-SIB surcharge will increase by 50 bps to 2.0 percent under Method 1 and to 3.5 percent under Method 2. The change in Method 2 will increase the Corporation’s minimum CET1 capital ratio requirement by 50 bps under both the Standardized approach and Advanced approaches.
The Corporation and its insured depository institution subsidiaries are also required to maintain a minimum supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) plus a leverage buffer to avoid certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Prior to January 1, 2026, the minimum SLR requirement was 5.0 percent for the Corporation and 6.0 percent for its insured depository institutions. Effective January 1, 2026, the
Corporation and its insured depository institutions adopted the final rule on modified enhanced SLR requirements, resulting in a minimum SLR requirement of 3.75 percent, which includes the leverage buffer, for both the Corporation and its insured depository institutions. At September 30, 2026, the Corporation’s SLR was 5.5 percent and BANA’s SLR was 5.8 percent, which both exceeded their minimum SLR requirement of 3.75 percent. For more information, see Capital Management – Regulatory Developments in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

At September 30, 2026, CET1 capital was $198.4 billion, a decrease of $3.0 billion from December 31, 2025, primarily due to capital distributions and accumulated OCI, partially offset by earnings. Tier 1 capital decreased $4.0 billion driven by the same factors as CET1 capital and a preferred stock redemption.
Total capital under the Standardized approach decreased $2.0 billion driven by the same factors as Tier 1 capital, partially offset by a subordinated debt issuance and a decrease in the adjusted allowance for credit losses included in Tier 2 capital. RWA under the Standardized approach, which drove the lower
Bank of America 20
CET1 capital ratio at September 30, 2026, increased $47.9 billion from December 31, 2025 to $1,821 billion primarily driven by growth in Global Markets and Global Banking, partially offset by GWIM. Supplementary leverage exposure at September 30, 2026 increased $98.3 billion from
December 31, 2025 primarily driven by increased activity in Global Markets and loan growth.

Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity Requirements
Total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) consists of the Corporation’s Tier 1 capital and eligible long-term debt issued directly by the Corporation. Eligible long-term debt for TLAC ratios is comprised of unsecured debt that has a remaining maturity of at least one year and satisfies additional requirements as prescribed in the TLAC final rule. As with the
risk-based capital ratios and SLR, the Corporation is required to maintain TLAC ratios in excess of minimum requirements plus applicable buffers to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Table 12 presents the Corporation's TLAC and long-term debt ratios and related information as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Regulatory Developments
The following supplements the disclosure in Capital Management – Regulatory Developments in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Final Rules Issued
On September 30, 2026, the Federal Reserve issued two final rules on stress test-related capital requirements. The first expands public disclosures and establishes annual public-input processes for supervisory stress test scenarios, models and material changes to those models. Implementation of future changes in published models could affect the outcome of the Corporation’s stress test results.
The second modifies the capital plan rule and SCB requirements. Effective January 1, 2029, results from the two most recent annual supervisory stress tests will be averaged to determine the Corporation’s SCB requirement. In addition, the annual effective date of the SCB requirement will change from October 1st to January 1st beginning with the requirement effective January 1, 2028. The Corporation’s SCB will remain at 2.5 percent through December 31, 2027.
Proposed Rules Issued
On September 30, 2026, the Federal Reserve issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) that would revise the noninterest income model that projects each bank’s fee income under stress. On March 19, 2026, the Federal Reserve, OCC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued an NPR regarding risk-based capital requirements for large banking organizations. Separately, the Federal Reserve issued an NPR that would revise the calculation of the G-SIB surcharge.
The Corporation is evaluating the potential impact of the proposed rules on its regulatory capital requirements. Any final rules issued are subject to change from the current proposals.
Regulatory Capital and Securities Regulation
The Corporation’s principal U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are BofA Securities, Inc. (BofAS) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S). The Corporation's principal European subsidiaries undertaking broker-dealer activities are Merrill Lynch International (MLI) and BofA Securities Europe SA (BofASE).
The U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act. BofAS computes its capital requirements as an alternative net capital broker-dealer under Rule 15c3-1(a)(7) and Rule 15c3-1e, which permit the use of SEC-approved models, and MLPF&S computes its capital requirements in accordance with the
alternative standard under Rule 15c3-1. BofAS is registered as a futures commission merchant and is subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Regulation 1.17. The U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are also registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 4110, FINRA may impose higher net capital requirements than Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act with respect to each of the broker-dealers.
BofAS provides institutional services, and in accordance with the SEC alternative net capital requirements, is required to regularly maintain tentative net capital in excess of $5.0 billion and net capital in excess of the greater of $1.0 billion or a certain percentage of its reserve requirement in addition to a certain percentage of securities-based swap risk margin. BofAS must also notify the SEC in the event its tentative net capital is less than $6.0 billion.In accordance with CFTC net capital requirements, BofAS is required to hold a certain percentage of its customers' and affiliates' risk-based margin if greater than the SEC’s minimum net capital requirement. At September 30, 2026, BofAS had tentative net capital of $27.1 billion. BofAS also had regulatory net capital of $20.0 billion, which exceeded the minimum requirement of $4.9 billion.
MLPF&S provides retail services and is required to maintain net capital that is the greater of $250,000 or two percent of a certain component of its reserve calculation. At September 30, 2026, MLPF&S' regulatory net capital was $12.7 billion, which exceeded the minimum requirement of $218 million.
Our European broker-dealers are subject to requirements from U.S. and non-U.S. regulators. MLI, a U.K. investment firm, is regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority and is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2026, MLI’s capital resources were $34.5 billion, which exceeded the minimum Pillar 1 requirement of $12.4 billion.
BofASE, an authorized credit institution with its head office located in France, is regulated by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution and the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, and supervised under the Single Supervisory Mechanism by the European Central Bank. At September 30, 2026, BofASE's capital resources were $11.5 billion, which exceeded the minimum Pillar 1 requirement of $4.3 billion.
In addition, MLI and BofASE remained conditionally registered with the SEC as security-based swap dealers, and maintained net liquid assets at September 30, 2026 that exceeded the applicable minimum requirements under the Exchange Act. The entities are also registered as swap dealers

with the CFTC and met applicable capital requirements at September 30, 2026.
Liquidity Risk
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management
Our primary liquidity risk management objective is to meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral requirements, including payments under long-term debt agreements, commitments to extend credit and customer deposit withdrawals, while continuing to support our businesses and customers under a range of economic conditions. To achieve that objective, we analyze and monitor our liquidity risk under expected and stressed conditions, maintain liquidity and access to diverse funding sources, including our stable deposit base, and seek to align liquidity-related incentives and risks. These liquidity risk management practices have helped enable us to effectively navigate market volatility arising from the interest rate environment, inflationary pressures and broader macroeconomic changes.
We define liquidity as readily available assets, limited to cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities that we can use to meet our contractual and contingent financial obligations as they arise. We manage our liquidity position through line of business and ALM activities, as well as through our legal entity funding strategy, on both a forward and current (including intraday) basis under both expected and stressed conditions. We believe that a centralized approach to funding and liquidity management enhances our ability to monitor liquidity requirements, maximizes access to funding sources, minimizes borrowing costs and facilitates timely responses to liquidity events.
We provide centralized funding and liquidity management through a variety of activities, including monitoring of established limits, assessing exposures under both normal and stressed conditions and reviewing liquidity risk management processes and controls. Global Risk Management (GRM) provides oversight of liquidity management across the Corporation, including front line units and legal entities. GRM oversees the liquidity risk management governance structure, establishes liquidity risk policies, and provides independent review and challenge of the Corporation's liquidity risk management processes.
For more information on the Corporation’s liquidity risks, see the Liquidity section within Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information regarding global funding and liquidity risk management, as well as liquidity sources, liquidity arrangements, contingency planning and credit ratings discussed below, see Liquidity Risk in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NB Holdings Corporation
Bank of America Corporation, as the parent company (the Parent), which is a separate and distinct legal entity from our bank and nonbank subsidiaries, has an intercompany arrangement with our wholly-owned holding company subsidiary, NB Holdings Corporation (NB Holdings). We have transferred, and agreed to transfer, additional Parent assets not required to satisfy anticipated near-term expenditures to NB Holdings. The Parent is expected to continue to have access to the same flow of dividends, interest and other amounts of cash necessary to service its debt, pay dividends and perform other obligations as it would have had it not entered into these arrangements and transferred any assets. These arrangements support our preferred single point of entry resolution strategy, under which
only the Parent would be resolved under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Global Liquidity Sources and Other Unencumbered Assets
We maintain liquidity available to the Corporation, including the Parent and selected subsidiaries, in the form of cash and high- quality, liquid, unencumbered securities. Our liquidity buffer, referred to as Global Liquidity Sources (GLS), is comprised of assets that are readily available to the Parent and selected subsidiaries, including holding company, bank and broker-dealer subsidiaries, even during stressed market conditions. Our cash is primarily on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and, to a lesser extent, central banks outside of the U.S. We limit the composition of high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and other investment-grade securities, and a select group of non-U.S. government securities. We can obtain cash for these securities, even in stressed conditions, through repurchase agreements or outright sales. We hold our GLS in legal entities that allow us to meet the liquidity requirements of our global businesses, and we consider the impact of potential regulatory, tax, legal and other restrictions that could limit the transferability of funds among entities.
Table 13 presents average GLS for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(1) Nonbank includes Parent, NB Holdings and other regulated entities.
Our bank subsidiaries’ liquidity is primarily driven by deposit and lending activity, as well as securities valuation and net debt activity. Bank subsidiaries can also generate incremental liquidity by pledging a range of unencumbered loans and securities to certain Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The cash we could have obtained by borrowing against this pool of specifically-identified eligible assets was $354 billion and $343 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We have established operational procedures to enable us to borrow against these assets, including regularly monitoring our total pool of eligible loans and securities collateral. Eligibility is defined in guidelines from the FHLBs and the Federal Reserve and is subject to change at their discretion. Due to regulatory restrictions, liquidity generated by the bank subsidiaries can generally be used only to fund obligations within the bank subsidiaries, and transfers to the Parent or nonbank subsidiaries may be subject to prior regulatory approval.
Liquidity is also held in nonbank entities, including the Parent, NB Holdings and other regulated entities. The Parent and NB Holdings liquidity is typically in the form of cash deposited at BANA, which is excluded from the liquidity at bank subsidiaries, and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities. Liquidity held in other regulated entities, comprised primarily of broker-dealer subsidiaries, is primarily available to meet the obligations of that entity, and transfers to the Parent or to any other subsidiary may be subject to prior regulatory approval due to regulatory restrictions and minimum requirements. Our other regulated entities also hold unencumbered investment-grade

securities and equities that we believe could be used to generate additional liquidity.

Our GLS are substantially the same in composition as what qualifies as High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) under the final U.S. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) rules. However, HQLA for purposes of calculating LCR is not reported at market value, but at a lower value that incorporates regulatory deductions and the exclusion of excess liquidity held at certain subsidiaries. The LCR is calculated as the amount of a financial institution’s unencumbered HQLA relative to the estimated net cash outflows the institution could encounter over a 30-day period of significant liquidity stress, expressed as a percentage. Our average consolidated HQLA, on a net basis, was $696 billion and $667 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. For the same periods, the average consolidated LCR was 113 percent and 112 percent. Our LCR may fluctuate due to normal business flows from customer activity.
Liquidity Stress Analysis
We utilize liquidity stress analysis to assist us in determining the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the Parent and our subsidiaries to meet contractual and contingent cash outflows under a range of scenarios. For more information on liquidity stress analysis, see Liquidity Risk – Liquidity Stress Analysis in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is a liquidity requirement for large banks to maintain a minimum level of stable funding over a one-year period. The requirement is intended to support the ability of banks to lend to households and businesses in both normal and adverse economic conditions and is complementary to the LCR, which focuses on short-term liquidity risks. The U.S. NSFR applies to the Corporation on a consolidated basis and to our insured depository institutions. At September 30, 2026, the Corporation and its insured depository institutions were in compliance with the U.S. NSFR. For more information, see the Basel Pillar 3 Disclosures for the
quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 on the Corporation’s website, the contents of which are not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Diversified Funding Sources
We fund our assets primarily with a mix of deposits, and secured and unsecured liabilities through a centralized, globally coordinated funding approach diversified across products, programs, markets, currencies and investor groups. We fund a substantial portion of our lending activities through our deposits, which were $2.04 trillion and $2.02 trillion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our trading activities in other regulated entities are primarily funded on a secured basis through securities lending and repurchase agreements, and these amounts will vary based on customer activity and market conditions.
Deposits
Our deposit base is well-diversified by clients, geography and product type across our business segments. At September 30, 2026, 47 percent of our deposits were in Consumer Banking, 14 percent in GWIM and 34 percent in Global Banking. We consider a substantial portion of our deposit base to be a stable, low-cost and consistent source of liquidity. At September 30, 2026, approximately 70 percent of consumer and small business deposits and approximately 83 percent of U.S. deposits in Global Banking were held by clients who have had accounts with us for 10 or more years. In addition,at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 27 percent and 26 percent of our deposits were noninterest bearing and were primarily operating accounts of our consumer and commercial clients. Deposits at September 30, 2026 increased $20.0 billion from December 31, 2025 primarily due to deposit growth in Global Banking, partially offset by lower deposits in GWIM and Consumer Banking.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, rates paid on deposits were 51 bps and 58 bps in Consumer Banking, 207 bps and 249 bps in GWIM, and 227 bps and 280 bps in Global Banking. For information on rates paid on consolidated deposit balances, see Table 6 on page 8.
Long-term Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we issued $92.5 billion of long-term debt consisting of $24.3 billion of notes issued by Bank of America Corporation, substantially all of which were TLAC compliant, $29.0 billion of notes issued by Bank of America, N.A. and $39.2 billion of other debt, which was primarily structured notes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had total long-term debt maturities and redemptions in the aggregate of $83.1 billion consisting of $29.4 billion for Bank of America Corporation, $24.8 billion for Bank of America, N.A. and $28.9 billion of other debt. Table 15 presents the carrying value of aggregate annual contractual maturities of long-term debt at September 30, 2026.

(1)Total includes $162.4 billion of outstanding senior notes that are both TLAC eligible and callable one year before their stated maturities, including $2.6 billion during the remainder of 2026, and $27.3 billion, $27.5 billion, $11.9 billion and $20.9 billion during each year of 2027 through 2030, respectively, and $72.2 billion thereafter. For more information on our TLAC eligible and callable outstanding notes, see Liquidity Risk – Diversified Funding Sources in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2)Represents liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Total long-term debt increased $871 million to $318.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to debt issuances, partially offset by maturities and valuation adjustments. We may, from time to time, repurchase outstanding debt instruments in various transactions, depending on market conditions, liquidity and other factors. Our other regulated entities may also make markets in our debt instruments to provide liquidity for investors.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we issued $45.3 billion of structured notes, which are debt obligations that pay investors returns linked to other debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities. These structured notes are typically issued to meet client demand, and notes with certain attributes may also be TLAC eligible. We typically use derivatives and/or investments to economically hedge the variable returns due on the structured notes so that the net cost, which is recognized in market making and similar activities, is similar to unsecured long-term debt. We could be required to settle certain structured note obligations for cash or other securities prior to maturity under certain circumstances, which we consider for liquidity planning purposes. We believe, however, that a portion of such borrowings will remain outstanding beyond the earliest put or redemption date.
Substantially all of our senior and subordinated debt obligations contain no provisions that could trigger a requirement for an early repayment, require additional collateral support, result in changes to terms, accelerate maturity or create additional financial obligations upon an adverse change in our credit ratings, financial ratios, earnings, cash flows or stock price. For more information on long-term debt funding, including issuances and maturities and redemptions, see Note 11 – Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use derivative transactions to manage the duration, interest rate and currency risks of our borrowings, considering the characteristics of the assets they are funding. For more information on our ALM activities, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book on page 43.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions expressed by rating agencies on our creditworthiness and that of our obligations or securities, including long-term debt, short-term borrowings, preferred stock and other securities, including asset securitizations. Table 16 presents the Corporation’s current long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks expressed by the rating agencies.
The ratings and outlooks from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings for the Corporation have not changed from those disclosed in the Corporation's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On August 27, 2026, Moody's Investors Service assigned Aa2 long-term issuer ratings and Prime-1 short-term issuer ratings, each with a stable outlook, to BofAS and BofASE. The ratings and outlooks from Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings for the Corporation's rated subsidiaries have not changed from those disclosed in the Corporation's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For more information on additional collateral and termination payments that could be required in connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contracts and other trading agreements in the event of a credit rating downgrade, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Item 1A.

Finance Subsidiary Issuers and Parent Guarantor
BofA Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (BofA Finance), is a consolidated finance subsidiary of the Corporation that has issued and sold, and is expected to continue to issue and sell, its senior unsecured debt securities (Guaranteed Notes) that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Corporation. The Corporation guarantees the due and punctual payment, on demand, of amounts payable on the Guaranteed Notes if not paid by BofA Finance. In addition, each of BAC Capital Trust XIII, BAC Capital Trust XIV and BAC Capital Trust XV, Delaware statutory trusts (collectively, the Trusts) is a 100 percent owned finance subsidiary of the Corporation that has issued and sold trust preferred securities (the Trust Preferred Securities) or capital securities (the Capital Securities and, together with the Guaranteed Notes and the Trust Preferred Securities, the Guaranteed Securities), as applicable, that remained outstanding at September 30, 2026. The Corporation has fully and unconditionally guaranteed (or effectively provided for the full and unconditional guarantee of) all such securities issued by such finance subsidiaries. For more information regarding such guarantees by the Corporation, see Liquidity Risk – Finance Subsidiary Issuers and Parent Guarantor in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For more information on the Corporation’s economic and geopolitical risks, see the Geopolitical section within Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our net charge-off ratio decreased compared to the same period in 2025 primarily driven by lower commercial real estate office and credit card charge-offs. Commercial reservable criticized
exposure decreased $4.8 billion compared to December 31, 2025 driven by commercial real estate as well as the commercial and industrial portfolio. Nonperforming loans decreased $260 million compared to December 31, 2025 driven by commercial real estate. Uncertainties surrounding geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and persistent inflationary pressures continue to weigh on the broader economic outlook. These factors have been assessed for any impacts to the portfolio and may contribute to future deterioration in credit quality metrics as they evolve.
Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management
Credit risk management for the consumer portfolio begins with initial underwriting and continues throughout a borrower’s credit cycle. Statistical techniques in conjunction with experiential judgment are used in all aspects of portfolio management including underwriting, product pricing, risk appetite, setting credit limits, and establishing operating processes and metrics to quantify and balance risks and returns. Statistical models are built using detailed behavioral information from external sources, such as credit bureaus, and/or internal historical experience and are a component of our consumer credit risk management process. These models are used in part to assist in making both new and ongoing credit decisions as well as portfolio management strategies, including authorizations and line management, collection practices and strategies, and determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and allocated capital for credit risk.
Consumer Credit Portfolio
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the U.S. unemployment rate and home prices remained relatively stable. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs remained relatively unchanged at $997 million compared to the same period in 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs decreased $60 million to $3.1 billion compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to improvement in the credit card portfolio.
The consumer allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $210 million to $8.2 billion from December 31, 2025. For more information, see Allowance for Credit Losses on page 39.
For more information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status, charge-offs and loan modifications for the consumer portfolio, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-Kand Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)Residential mortgage loans accruing past due 90 days or more are fully-insured loans. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, residential mortgage included $123 million and $104 million of loans on which interest had been curtailed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and therefore were no longer accruing interest, although principal was still insured, and $95 million and $103 million of loans on which interest was still accruing.
(2)Outstandings primarily includes auto and specialty lending loans and leases of $50.9 billion and $55.3 billion, U.S. securities-based lending loans of $64.3 billion and $55.0 billion, and non-U.S. consumer loans of $3.3 billion and $3.0 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
(3)For more information on the fair value option, see Note 15 – Fair Value Option to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(4)Excludes consumer loans accounted for under the fair value option. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans accounted for under the fair value option that were past due 90 days or more and not accruing interest were insignificant.

We believe that the presentation of information adjusted to exclude the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio and loans accounted for under the fair value option is more representative of the ongoing operations and credit quality of the business. As a result, in the following tables and discussions of the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios, we exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option and provide information that excludes the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio in certain credit quality statistics.
Residential Mortgage
The residential mortgage portfolio made up the largest percentage of our consumer loan portfolio at 48 percent of consumer loans and leases at September 30, 2026. Approximately 49 percent of the residential mortgage portfolio was in Consumer Banking, 48 percent was in GWIM and the remaining portion was in Global Markets and All Other.
Outstanding balances in the residential mortgage portfolio remained relatively unchangedduring the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the residential mortgage portfolio included $8.4 billion and $9.1 billion of outstanding fully-insured loans, of which $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion had FHA insurance, with the remainder protected by Fannie Mae long-term standby agreements.
Table 19 presents certain residential mortgage key credit statistics on both a reported basis and excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio. The following discussion presents the residential mortgage portfolio excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio.

(1)Outstandings, accruing past due, nonperforming loans and percentages of portfolio exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option.
(2)Includes loans that are contractually current that have not yet demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance following a modification.
Nonperforming outstanding balances in the residential mortgage portfolio totaled $2.1 billion at September 30, 2026, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2025. Of the nonperforming residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2026, $1.2 billion, or 57 percent, were current on contractual payments. Excluding fully-insured loans, loans accruing past due 30 days or more increased $111 million to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Of the $228.1 billion in total residential mortgage loans outstanding at September 30, 2026, $66.9 billion, or 29 percent, of loans were originated as interest-only. The outstanding balance of interest-only residential mortgage loans that had entered the amortization period was $3.9 billion, or six percent, at September 30, 2026. Residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period generally experience a higher rate of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status compared to the residential mortgage portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2026, $40 million, or one percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgages that had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more compared to $1.3 billion, or less than one percent, for the
entire residential mortgage portfolio. In addition, at September 30, 2026, $182 million, or five percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgage loans that had entered the amortization period were nonperforming, of which $65 million were contractually current. Loans that have yet to enter the amortization period in our interest-only residential mortgage portfolio are primarily well-collateralized loans to our wealth management clients and have an interest-only period of three years to 10 years. Substantially all of these loans that have yet to enter the amortization period will not be required to make a fully-amortizing payment until 2028 or later.
Table 20 presents outstandings, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs by certain state concentrations for the residential mortgage portfolio. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) made up 14 percent and 15 percent of outstandings at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California represented 14 percent of outstandings at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

At September 30, 2026, the home equity portfolio made up six percent of the consumer portfolio and was comprised of home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), home equity loans and reverse mortgages. HELOCs generally have an initial draw period of 10 years, and after the initial draw period ends, the loans generally convert to 15- or 20-year amortizing loans. We no longer originate home equity loans or reverse mortgages.
At September 30, 2026, 85 percent of the home equity portfolio was in Consumer Banking, 11 percent was in GWIM and the remainder of the portfolio was in All Other. Outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio increased $594 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to draws on existing lines and new originations outpacing paydowns. Of the total home equity portfolio at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $8.8 billion and $8.9 billion, or 32 percent and 33 percent, were in first-lien positions.
29Bank of America
At September 30, 2026, outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio that were in a second-lien or more junior-lien position and where we also held the first-lien loan totaled $4.8 billion, or 18 percent, of our total home equity portfolio.
Unused HELOCs totaled $42.1 billion and $43.1 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The HELOC utilization rate was 39 percent and 38 percentat September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(2)Includes loans that are contractually current that have not yet demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance following a modification.
Nonperforming outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio decreased $26 millionto$366 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Of the nonperforming home equity loans at September 30, 2026, $233 million, or 64 percent, were current on contractual payments. In addition, $66 million, or 18 percent, were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. Accruing loans that were 30 days or more past due remained relatively unchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Of the $27.4 billion in total home equity portfolio outstandings at September 30, 2026, as shown in Table 21, nine percent require interest-only payments. The outstanding balance of HELOCs that had reached the end of their draw period and entered the amortization period was $3.1 billion at September 30, 2026. The HELOCs that have entered the amortization period have experienced a higher percentage of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status when compared to the HELOC portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2026, $21 million, or one percent, of outstanding HELOCs that
had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more. In addition, at September 30, 2026, $188 million, or six percent, were nonperforming.
For our interest-only HELOC portfolio, we can determine how many of our home equity customers pay only the minimum amount due on their home equity loans and lines through a review of our HELOC portfolio that we service and is still in its revolving period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, 23 percent of these customers with an outstanding balance did not pay any principal on their HELOCs.
Table 22 presents outstandings, nonperforming balances and net recoveries by certain state concentrations for the home equity portfolio. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA made up 10 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California made up 10 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management
Commercial credit risk is evaluated and managed with the goal that concentrations of credit exposure continue to be aligned with our risk appetite. We review, measure and manage concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship and loan size. We also review, measure and manage commercial real estate loans by geographic location and property type. In addition, within our non-U.S. portfolio, we evaluate exposures by region and by country. Tables 30, 32 and 35 summarize our concentrations. We also utilize syndications of exposure to third parties, loan sales, hedging and other risk mitigation techniques to manage the size and risk profile of the commercial credit portfolio. For more information on our industry concentrations, see Table 32 and Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Industry Concentrations on page 36.
For more information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status and net charge-offs, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commercial Credit Portfolio
Outstanding commercial loans and leases increased $58.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 due to growth in U.S. and Non-U.S. commercial, primarily in Global Banking and GWIM. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, commercial credit quality improved, as the reservable criticized utilized exposure decreased $4.8 billion and reservable criticized utilized exposure rate improved to 2.49 percent from 3.37 percent as of December 31, 2025. Nonperforming commercial loans decreased $294 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to
commercial real estate. Commercial net charge-offs decreased $37 million to $352 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower charge-offs in the U.S. Commercial portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, commercial net charge-offs decreased $114 million to $1.1 billion compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting continued asset quality improvement in the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by higher charge-offs in the commercial and industrial portfolio.
We are closely monitoring emerging trends, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and elevated energy prices, as well as borrower performance in the current environment.
The commercial allowance for loan and lease losses remained relatively unchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 at $4.8 billion. For more information, see Allowance for Credit Losses on page 39.
Total commercial utilized credit exposure increased $81.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $889.7 billion primarily driven by higher loans and leases, as well as derivative assets. The utilization rate for loans and leases, standby letters of credit (SBLCs) and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit, in the aggregate, was 56 percent and 55 percent at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Table 26 presents commercial credit exposure by type for utilized, unfunded and total binding committed credit exposure. Commercial utilized credit exposure includes SBLCs and financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit that have been issued and for which we are legally bound to advance funds under prescribed conditions during a specified time period, and excludes exposure related to trading account assets. Although funds have not yet been advanced, these exposure types are considered utilized for credit risk management purposes.

Non-U.S. Commercial
At September 30, 2026, 52 percent of the non-U.S. commercial loan portfolio was managed in Global Banking and47 percent in Global Markets. Non-U.S. commercial loans increased $15.3 billion, or 10 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily driven by Global Banking. Reservable criticized utilized exposure decreased $286 million, or 10 percent. For more information on the non-U.S. commercial portfolio, see Non-U.S. Portfolio on page 38.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate primarily includes commercial loans secured by non-owner-occupied real estate and is dependent on the sale or lease of the real estate as the primary source of repayment. Outstanding loans increased $6.5 billion, or nine percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to
$75.2 billion, driven by growth across multiple property types. The commercial real estate portfolio is primarily managed in Global Banking and consists of loans made primarily to public and private developers, and commercial real estate firms. The portfolio remains diversified across property types and geographic regions. California represented the largest state concentration at 20 percent of commercial real estate at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Industrial/Warehouse loans represented the largest property type concentration at 19 percent of commercial real estate at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Office loans decreased $1.5 billion, or 12 percent, from December 31, 2025 and represented less than one percent of total loans for the Corporation.
Reservable criticized utilized exposure for commercial real estate decreased $3.3 billion, or 39 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Reservable criticized exposure for the office property type was $2.6 billion at September 30, 2026, representing a decrease of $897 million, or 26 percent, from December 31, 2025. Approximately $1.8 billion of office loans are scheduled to mature by the end of 2026.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs decreased $15 million and $282 million to $105 million and $163 million compared to the same periods in 2025 driven by office loans. We use a number of proactive risk mitigation initiatives designed to reduce adversely rated exposure in the commercial real estate portfolio, including transfers of deteriorating exposures for management by independent special asset officers and the pursuit of loan restructurings or asset sales to achieve the best results for our customers and the Corporation.

U.S. Small Business Commercial
The U.S. small business commercial loan portfolio is comprised of small business card loans and small business loans primarily managed in Consumer Banking. Credit card-related products were 50 percent and 51 percent of the U.S. small business commercial portfolio at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and represented 97 percent and 96 percent of net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. Accruing loans that were past due 90 days or more decreased $29 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Nonperforming Commercial Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties Activity
Table 31 presents the nonperforming commercial loans, leases and foreclosed properties activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Nonperforming loans do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, nonperforming commercial loans and leases decreased $294 million to $2.9 billion. At September 30, 2026, 92 percent of commercial nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties were secured, and 47 percent were contractually current. Commercial nonperforming loans were carried at 79 percent of their unpaid principal balance, as the carrying value of these loans has been reduced to the estimated collateral value less costs to sell.

Industry Concentrations
Table 32 presents commercial committed and utilized credit exposure by industry. For information on net notional credit protection purchased to hedge funded and unfunded exposures for which we elected the fair value option, as well as certain other credit exposures, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Risk Mitigation.
Commercial credit exposure is diversified across a broad range of industries. Total commercial committed exposure increased $99.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $1.5 trillion. The increase in commercial committed exposure was primarily concentrated in Asset managers and funds, Capital goods, Real estate and Individuals and trusts.
For information on industry limits, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Risk Mitigation in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Asset managers and funds, our largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $257.4 billion, increased $23.1 billion, or 10 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which was primarily driven by investment-grade exposures.
Finance companies, our second largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $135.1 billion, increased $5.5 billion, or four percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which was primarily driven by Consumer finance.
Capital goods, our third largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $118.8 billion, increased $10.0 billion, or nine percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The increase in committed exposure was driven by increases in Industrial conglomerates, Machinery, and Trading companies and distributors, partially offset by a decrease in Construction and engineering.
Geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and higher costs associated with persistent inflationary pressures have led to increased uncertainty in the U.S. and global economies and have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, a number of industries. We continue to monitor these risks.

(1)Includes U.S. small business commercial exposure.
(2)Includes the notional amount of unfunded legally binding lending commitments, net of amounts distributed (i.e., syndicated or participated) to other financial institutions. The distributed amounts were $10.5 billion and $10.6 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
(3)Industries are viewed from a variety of perspectives to best isolate the perceived risks. For purposes of this table, the real estate industry is defined based on the primary business activity of the borrowers or counterparties using operating cash flows and primary source of repayment as key factors.
Risk Mitigation
We purchase credit protection to cover the funded portion as well as the unfunded portion of certain credit exposures. To lower the cost of obtaining our desired credit protection levels, we may add credit exposure within an industry, borrower or counterparty group by selling protection.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net notional credit default protection purchased in our credit derivatives portfolio to hedge our funded and unfunded exposures for which we elected the fair value option, as well as certain other credit exposures, was $12.0 billion and $14.5 billion. We recorded net losses of $6 million and $40 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net losses of $39 million and $95 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The net losses on these instruments were largely offset by net gains on
the related exposures. The Value-at-Risk (VaR) results for these exposures are included in the fair value option portfolio information in Table 38. For more information, see Trading Risk Management on page 41.
Tables 33 and 34 present the maturity profiles and the credit exposure debt ratings of the net credit default protection portfolio at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Non-U.S. Portfolio
Our non-U.S. credit and trading portfolios are subject to country risk. We define country risk as the risk of loss from unfavorable economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, social instability and changes in government policies. A risk management framework is in place to measure, monitor and manage non-U.S. risk and exposures. In addition to the direct risk of doing business in a country, we also are exposed to indirect country risks (e.g., related to the collateral received on secured financing transactions or related to client clearing activities). These indirect exposures are managed in the normal course of business through credit, market and operational risk governance rather than through country risk governance. For more information on our non-U.S. credit and trading portfolios, see Non-U.S. Portfolio in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information on risks related to our non-U.S. portfolio, see the Geopolitical section within Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Table 35 presents our 20 largest non-U.S. country exposures at September 30, 2026. These exposures accounted for 91 percent of our total non-U.S. exposure at September 30, 2026 and 88 percent at December 31, 2025. Net country exposure for these 20 countries increased $25.7 billion from December 31, 2025 primarily driven by increases in the United Kingdom, Australia, India and France.

Our largest non-U.S. country exposure at September 30, 2026 was the United Kingdom with net exposure of $73.4 billion, which increased $8.8 billion from December 31, 2025 primarily due to increased net counterparty exposure. Our second largest non-U.S. country exposure was Germany with net exposure of $40.9 billion at September 30, 2026, which
increased $1.8 billion from December 31, 2025 primarily due to increased corporate exposures. We continue to closely monitor the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and potential impacts on our portfolio and borrowers, including through elevated energy prices, increased market volatility, supply chain disruptions and related macroeconomic effects.

Market Risk Management
For more information on our market risk management process, see Market Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For more information on market risks, see the Market section within Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions may adversely impact the value of assets or liabilities, or otherwise negatively impact earnings. This risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations, primarily within our Global Markets segment. We are also exposed to these risks in other areas of the Corporation (e.g., our ALM activities). In the event of market stress, these risks could have a material impact on our results.
Trading Risk Management
To evaluate risks in our trading activities, we focus on the actual and potential volatility of revenues generated by individual positions as well as portfolios of positions. VaR is a common statistic used to measure market risk. Our primary VaR statistic is equivalent to a 99 percent confidence level, which means that for a VaR with a one-day holding period, there should not be
losses in excess of VaR, on average, 99 out of 100 trading days.
Table 38 presents the total market-based portfolio VaR, which is the combination of the total trading positions portfolio and the fair value option portfolio. The VaR amounts for all periods presented in Table 38 and Table 39 include the financial instruments used in the Corporation’s market risk management of its trading portfolios. For more information on the market risk VaR for trading activities, see Trading Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The total market-based portfolio VaR results in Table 38 include market risk to which we are exposed from all business segments’ trading activities, which exclude credit valuation adjustment (CVA), DVA and the related hedges of these items. The majority of this portfolio is within the Global Markets segment.
Table 38 presents period-end, average, high and low daily trading VaR for the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, as well as average daily trading VaR for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 using a 99 percent confidence level.

The following graph presents the trading positions portfolio VaR for the previous five quarters, corresponding to the data in Table 38.
Additional VaR statistics produced within our single VaR model are provided in Table 39 at the same level of detail as in Table 38. Evaluating VaR with additional statistics allows for an increased understanding of the risks in the portfolio, as the historical market data used in the VaR calculation does not necessarily follow a predefined statistical distribution. Table 39 presents average trading VaR statistics at 99 percent and 95 percent confidence levels for the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

Backtesting
The accuracy of the VaR methodology is evaluated by backtesting, which compares the daily VaR results, utilizing a one-day holding period, against a comparable subset of trading revenue. For more information on our backtesting process, see Trading Risk Management – Backtesting in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, there were four days where this subset of trading revenue had losses that exceeded our total covered portfolio VaR, utilizing a one-day holding period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were seven days with losses that exceeded our total covered portfolio VaR.
Bank of America 42
Total Trading-related Revenue
Total trading-related revenue, excluding brokerage fees, and CVA, DVA and funding valuation adjustment gains (losses), represents the total amount earned from trading positions, including net interest income associated with Global Markets trading activities, which are taken in a diverse range of financial instruments and markets. For more information, see Trading Risk Management – Total Trading-related Revenue in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following histogram is a graphic depiction of trading volatility and illustrates the daily level of trading-related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 98 percent of the trading days, of which 94 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million. This compares to the three months ended June 30, 2026, where positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 100 percent of the trading days, of which 98 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million. During the three months endedMarch 31, 2026, positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 100 percent of the trading days, of which 97 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million.
Trading Portfolio Stress Testing
Because the very nature of a VaR model suggests results can exceed our estimates and it is dependent on a limited historical window, we also stress test our portfolio using scenario analysis. This analysis estimates the change in the value of our trading portfolio that may result from abnormal market movements. For more information, see Trading Risk Management – Trading Portfolio Stress Testing in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We continue to be asset sensitive to a parallel move in interest rates, with the majority of that impact coming from the short end of the yield curve. Additionally, higher interest rates negatively impact the fair value of our debt securities classified as available for sale and adversely affect accumulated OCI, and thus capital levels under the Basel 3 capital rules. Under instantaneous upward parallel shifts, the near-term adverse impact to Basel 3 capital would be reduced over time by offsetting positive impacts to net interest income generated from banking book activities. For more information on Basel 3, see Capital Management – Regulatory Capital on page 19.
As part of our ALM activities, we use securities, certain residential mortgages, and interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives in managing interest rate sensitivity. The sensitivity analysis in Table 41 assumes that we take no action in response to these rate shocks and does not assume any change in other macroeconomic variables normally correlated with changes in interest rates. In higher rate scenarios, the analysis assumes that a portion of low-cost or noninterest-bearing deposits is replaced with higher yielding deposits or market-based funding. Conversely, in lower rate scenarios, the analysis assumes that a portion of higher yielding deposits or market-based funding is replaced with low-cost or noninterest-bearing deposits.
For larger interest rate shift scenarios, the interest rate sensitivity may behave in a non-linear manner as there are numerous estimates and assumptions, which require a high degree of judgment and are often interrelated, that could impact the outcome. Pertaining to the mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage portfolio, if long-end interest rates were to significantly decrease over the next twelve months, for example over 200 bps, there would generally be an increase in customer prepayment behaviors with an incremental reduction to net interest income, noting that the extent of changes in customer prepayment activity can be impacted by multiple factors and is not necessarily limited to long-end interest rates. Conversely, if long-end interest rates were to significantly increase over the next twelve months, for example, over 200 bps, customer prepayments would likely modestly decrease and result in an incremental increase to net interest income. In addition, deposit pricing is rate sensitive in nature. This sensitivity is assumed to have non-linear impacts to larger short-end rate movements. In decreasing interest rate scenarios, and particularly where interest rates have decreased to small amounts, the ability to further reduce rates paid is reduced as customer rates near zero. In higher short-end rate scenarios, deposit pricing will
likely increase at a faster rate, leading to incremental interest expense and reducing asset sensitivity. While the impact related to the above assumptions used in the asset sensitivity analysis can provide directional analysis on how net interest income will be impacted in changing environments, the ultimate impact is dependent upon the interrelationship of the assumptions and factors, which vary in different macroeconomic scenarios.
Economic Value of Equity
In addition to interest rate sensitivity described above, the Corporation’s management of its interest rate exposures in the banking book also considers a long-term view of interest rate sensitivity through the measurement of Economic Value of Equity (EVE). EVE captures changes in the net present value of banking book assets and liabilities under various interest rate scenarios and its impact to Tier 1 capital. Similar to net interest income, the Corporation establishes limits for EVE. EVE is largely driven by the Corporation’s longer duration fixed-rate products, such as investment securities, residential mortgages and deposits. For assets or liabilities that have no stated maturity, such as deposits, the Corporation estimates the duration for measurement purposes.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts
We use interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts in our ALM activities to manage our interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Specifically, we use those derivatives to manage both the variability in cash flows and changes in fair value of various assets and liabilities arising from those risks. Our interest rate derivative contracts are generally non-leveraged swaps tied to various benchmark interest rates and foreign exchange basis swaps, options, futures and forwards, and our foreign exchange contracts include cross-currency interest rate swaps, foreign currency futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and options.
The derivatives used in our ALM activities can be split into two broad categories: designated accounting hedges and other risk management derivatives. Designated accounting hedges are primarily used to manage our exposure to interest rates as described in the Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book section and are included in the sensitivities presented in Table 41. The Corporation also uses foreign currency derivatives in accounting hedges to manage substantially all of the foreign exchange risk of our foreign operations. By hedging the foreign
Bank of America 44
exchange risk of our foreign operations, the Corporation's market risk exposure in this area is not significant.
Risk management derivatives are predominantly used to hedge foreign exchange risks related to various foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and eliminate substantially all foreign currency exposures in the cash flows of the Corporation’s non-trading foreign currency-denominated financial instruments. These foreign exchange derivatives are sensitive to other market risk exposures such as cross-currency basis spreads and interest rate risk. However, as these features are not a significant component of these foreign exchange derivatives, the market risk related to this exposure is not significant. For more information on the accounting for derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Mortgage Banking Risk Management
We originate, fund and service mortgage loans, which subject us to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks, among others. We determine whether loans will be held for investment or held for sale at the time of commitment and manage credit and liquidity risks by selling or securitizing a portion of the loans we originate.
Changes in interest rates impact the value of interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and the related residential first mortgage loans held-for-sale (LHFS), as well as the value of the MSRs. Because the interest rate risks of these hedged items offset, we combine them into one overall hedged item with one combined economic hedge portfolio consisting of derivative contracts and securities. For more information on IRLCs and the related residential mortgage LHFS, see Mortgage Banking Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting principles are essential in understanding the MD&A. Many of our significant accounting principles require complex judgments to estimate the values of assets and liabilities. We have procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments. For more information, see Critical Accounting Estimates in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Current Accounting Developments
Accounting Standard Issued but Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Internal‑Use Software Costs
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance on the accounting for internal‑use software, providing targeted improvements to the capitalization of costs incurred in the internal development of software. The amendments update existing guidance by eliminating the consideration of software project development stages and enhancing the criteria for when capitalization begins, including establishing a “probable to complete” threshold. The Accounting Standards Update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of and its approach to adopting this guidance; however, adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Bank of America Corporation, a bank holding company and a financial holding company, provides a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in certain international markets. The term “the Corporation” as used herein may refer to Bank of America Corporation, individually, Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries, or certain of Bank of America Corporation’s subsidiaries or affiliates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations of acquired companies are included from the dates of acquisition, and for VIEs, from the dates that the Corporation became the primary beneficiary. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation accounts for investments in companies for which it
owns a voting interest and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which include the Corporation’s interests in affordable housing and renewable energy partnerships, are recorded in other assets. Equity method investments are subject to impairment testing, and the Corporation’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in other income.
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and related notes thereto, of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The nature of the Corporation’s business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results, have been made. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

NOTE 3Derivatives
Derivative Balances
Derivatives are entered into on behalf of customers, for trading or to support risk management activities. Derivatives used in risk management activities include derivatives that may or may not be designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships. Derivatives that are not designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships are referred to as other risk management derivatives. For more information on the Corporation’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 3 –
Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following tables present derivative instruments included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in derivative assets and liabilities at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and have been reduced by cash collateral received or paid.
(1)Represents the total contract/notional amount of derivative assets and liabilities outstanding.
(2)Includes certain out-of-the-money purchased options that have a liability amount primarily due to the deferral of option premiums to the end of the contract.
(3)Includes certain out-of-the-money written options that have an asset amount primarily due to the deferral of option premiums to the end of the contract.
(4)The net derivative asset (liability) and notional amount of written credit derivatives for which the Corporation held purchased credit derivatives with identical underlying referenced names were $1.3 billion and $551.0 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2026.
(1)Represents the total contract/notional amount of derivative assets and liabilities outstanding.

(4)The net derivative asset (liability) and notional amount of written credit derivatives for which the Corporation held purchased credit derivatives with identical underlying referenced names were $1.0 billion and $421.3 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2025.
Offsetting of Derivatives
The Corporation enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the Corporation’s derivative counterparties. For more information, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 by primary risk (e.g., interest rate risk) and the platform, where
applicable, on which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements, which include reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.
For more information on offsetting of securities financing agreements, see Note 9 – Securities Financing Agreements, Collateral and Restricted Cash.

(1)Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives include bilateral transactions between the Corporation and a particular counterparty. Over-the-counter cleared derivatives include bilateral transactions between the Corporation and a counterparty where the transaction is cleared through a clearinghouse. Exchange-traded derivatives include listed options transacted on an exchange.
(2)Consists of derivatives entered into under master netting agreements where the enforceability of these agreements is uncertain under bankruptcy laws in some countries or industries.
(3)Amounts are limited to the derivative asset/liability balance and, accordingly, do not include excess collateral received/pledged. Financial instruments collateral includes securities received or pledged and cash securities held and posted at third-party custodians that are not offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet but shown as a reduction to derive net derivative assets and liabilities.
Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated non-U.S.
operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts and cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency- denominated debt (net investment hedges).
Fair Value Hedges
The table below summarizes information related to fair value hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

(2)Represents cross-currency interest rate swaps related to available-for-sale debt securities and long-term debt. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the derivative amount includes gains (losses) of $103 million and $94 million in interest income, $(3) million and $160 million in market making and similar activities, and $(8) million and $(14) million in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). For the same periods in 2025, the derivative amount includes gains (losses) of $4 million and $(3) million in interest income, $123 million and $(235) million in market making and similar activities, and $(2) million and $(4) million in accumulated OCI. Line item totals are in the Consolidated Statement of Income and on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)Amounts are recorded in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
(4)Amounts are recorded in market making and similar activities in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
(5)For certain commodity hedges, the forward component of the derivative is excluded from the accounting hedge. Gains (losses) related to this excluded component and recognized in market making and similar activities were $67 million and $297 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $(12) million and $6 million for the same periods in 2025.

The table below summarizes the carrying value of hedged assets and liabilities that are designated in fair value hedging relationships, along with the cumulative amount of gains and losses on the hedged assets and liabilities that are included in their carrying value. There is no impact to earnings for the cumulative amount of these fair value hedging adjustments as long as the hedging relationships remain open through the
hedged period. Instead, the open hedges have the effect of synthetically converting the hedged assets and liabilities into variable-rate instruments. If an open hedge is de-designated prior to the derivative’s maturity, any cumulative fair value adjustments at the de-designation date are then amortized or accreted into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged assets or liabilities.

(2)These amounts include the amortized cost of the financial assets in closed portfolios used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is a stated layer that is expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship (i.e. portfolio layer hedging relationship). At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $42.0 billion and $35.8 billion, of which $35.5 billion and $23.7 billion were designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was a decrease of $1.5 billion and $46 million.
(3)Carrying value represents amortized cost.
(4)Represents hedging activities related to certain commodities inventory.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value adjustments from de-designated long-term debt hedges decreased the long-term debt carrying value by $11.5 billion and $12.9 billion. The fair value adjustments from de-designated available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities hedges decreased the AFS debt securities carrying value by $1.2 billion and $2.7 billion. The fair value adjustments are being amortized or accreted into interest over the contractual lives of the assets or liabilities.
Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
The table below summarizes certain information related to cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Of the $4.9 billion after-tax net loss ($6.4 billion pretax) on derivatives in
accumulated OCI at September 30, 2026, losses of $2.4 billion after-tax ($3.2 billion pretax) related to both open and closed cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily decrease net interest income related to the respective hedged items. For open cash flow hedges, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is approximately three years. For terminated cash flow hedges, the time period over which the forecasted transactions will be recognized in interest income is approximately four years, with the aggregated amount beyond this time period being insignificant.

Transfers of Financial Assets with Risk Retained through Derivatives
The Corporation enters into certain transactions involving the transfer of financial assets that are accounted for as sales where substantially all of the economic exposure to the transferred financial assets is retained through derivatives (e.g., interest rate and/or credit), but the Corporation does not retain control over the assets transferred. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had transferred $4.2 billion and $3.9 billionof non-U.S. government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities to a third-party trust and retained economic exposure to the transferred assets through derivative contracts. In connection with these transfers, the Corporation received gross cash proceeds of $4.2 billion and $3.9 billionat the transfer dates. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the transferred securities was $4.0 billion and $3.8 billion.
Sales and Trading Revenue
The Corporation enters into trading derivatives to facilitate client transactions and to manage risk exposures arising from trading account assets and liabilities. It is the Corporation’s policy to
include these derivative instruments in its trading activities, which include derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments. The resulting risk from these derivatives is managed on a portfolio basis as part of the Corporation’s Global Markets business segment. For more information on sales and trading revenue, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The table below, which includes both derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments, identifies the amounts in the respective income statement line items attributable to the Corporation’s sales and trading revenue in Global Markets, categorized by primary risk, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. This table includes debit valuation adjustment (DVA) and funding valuation adjustment (FVA) gains (losses). Global Markets results in Note 17 – Business Segment Information are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis. The table below is not presented on an FTE basis.

Credit Derivatives
The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives are classified as investment and non-investment grade based on the credit quality of the underlying referenced obligation. The Corporation considers ratings of BBB- or higher as investment grade. Non-investment grade includes non-rated credit derivative instruments. The Corporation discloses internal categorizations of investment grade and non-investment grade consistent with how risk is
managed for these instruments. For more information on credit derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivativesto the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit derivative instruments where the Corporation is the seller of credit protection and their expiration at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized in the table below.

The notional amount represents the maximum amount payable by the Corporation for most credit derivatives. However, the Corporation does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based solely on the notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts. Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits so that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
Credit-related notes in the table above include investments in securities issued by collateralized debt obligation (CDO), collateralized loan obligation (CLO) and credit-linked note vehicles. These instruments are primarily classified as trading securities. The carrying value of these instruments equals the Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss. The Corporation is not obligated to make any payments to the entities under the terms of the securities owned.
Credit-related Contingent Features and Collateral
Certain of the Corporation’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, primarily in the form of ISDA master netting agreements and credit support documentation that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments compared to other obligations of the respective counterparty with whom the Corporation has transacted. These contingent features may be for the benefit of the Corporation as well as its counterparties with respect to changes in the Corporation’s creditworthiness and the mark-to-market exposure under the derivative transactions. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation held cash and securities collateral of $137.2 billion and $119.7 billion and posted cash and securities collateral of $100.0 billion and $97.8 billion in the normal course of business under derivative agreements, excluding cross-product margining agreements where clients are permitted to margin on a net basis for both derivative and secured financing arrangements.
In connection with certain OTC derivative contracts and other trading agreements, the Corporation can be required to provide additional collateral or to terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of the senior debt ratings of the Corporation or certain subsidiaries. The amount of additional collateral required depends on the contract and is usually a fixed incremental amount and/or the market value of the exposure. For more information on credit-related contingent features and collateral, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2026, the amount of collateral, calculated based on the terms of the contracts, that the Corporation and certain subsidiaries could be required to post to counterparties but had not yet posted to counterparties was $4.6 billion, including $2.1 billion for Bank of America, National Association (BANA).
Some counterparties are currently able to unilaterally terminate certain contracts, or the Corporation or certain subsidiaries may be required to take other action such as find a
suitable replacement or obtain a guarantee. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the liability recorded for these derivative contracts was not significant.
The table below presents the amount of additional collateral that would have been contractually required by derivative contracts and other trading agreements at September 30, 2026 if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch and by an additional second incremental notch. The table also presents derivative liabilities that would be subject to unilateral termination by counterparties upon downgrade of the Corporation's or certain subsidiaries’ long-term senior debt ratings.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation monitors credit quality within its Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. For more information on the portfolio segments, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Within the Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment, the primary credit quality indicators are refreshed loan-to-value (LTV) and refreshed Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score. Refreshed LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. Home equity loans are evaluated using combined loan-to-value (CLTV), which measures the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan and available line of credit combined with any outstanding senior liens against the property as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. FICO score measures the creditworthiness of the borrower based on the financial obligations of the borrower and the borrower’s credit history. FICO scores are typically refreshed quarterly or more frequently. Certain borrowers (e.g., borrowers that have had debts discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding) may not have their FICO scores updated.
FICO scores are also a primary credit quality indicator for the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment and the business card portfolio within U.S. small business commercial. Within the Commercial portfolio segment, loans are evaluated using the internal classifications of pass rated or reservable criticized as the primary credit quality indicators. The term reservable criticized refers to those commercial loans that are internally classified or listed by the Corporation as Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful, which are asset quality categories defined by regulatory authorities. These assets have an elevated level of risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. Pass rated refers to all loans not considered reservable criticized. In addition to these primary credit quality indicators, the Corporation uses other credit quality indicators for certain types of loans.
The following tables present certain credit quality indicators and gross charge-offs for the Corporation's Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments by year of origination, except for revolving loans and revolving loans that were modified into term loans, which are shown on an aggregate basis at September 30, 2026.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers in Financial Difficulty
As part of its credit risk management, the Corporation may modify a loan agreement with a borrower experiencing financial difficulties through a refinancing or restructuring of the borrower’s loan agreement (modification programs).
Consumer Real Estate
The following modification programs are offered for consumer real estate loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.
Forbearance and Other Payment Plans: Forbearance plans generally consist of the Corporation suspending the borrower’s payments for a defined period, with those payments then due over a defined period of time or at the conclusion of the forbearance period. The aging status of a loan is generally frozen when it enters into a forbearance plan. If a borrower is unable to fulfill their obligations under the forbearance plans, they may be offered a trial offer or permanent modification.
Trial Offer and Permanent Modifications: Trial offer for modification plans generally consist of the Corporation offering a borrower modified loan terms that reduce their contractual payments temporarily over a three-to-four-month trial period. If the customer successfully makes the modified payments during the trial period and formally accepts the modified terms, the modified loan terms become permanent. Some borrowers may enter into permanent modifications without a trial period. In a permanent modification, the borrower’s payment terms are typically modified in more than one manner, but generally include a term extension and an interest rate reduction. At times, the permanent modification may also include principal forgiveness and/or a deferral of past due principal and interest amounts to the end of the loan term. The combinations utilized are based on modifying the terms that give the borrower an improved ability to meet the contractual obligations. The term extensions granted for residential mortgage and home equity permanent modifications vary widely and can be up to 30 years, but most are in the range of 1 to 20 years. Principal forgiveness and payment deferrals were insignificant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
The table below provides the ending amortized cost of the Corporation’s consumer real estate loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

For consumer real estate borrowers in financial difficulty that received a forbearance, trial or permanent modification, commitments to lend additional funds were not significant at September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Bank of America 70
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. If a forbearance plan results in an other‑than‑insignificant payment delay, whether at inception or due to a subsequent extension, the loan’s payment status is based on the original contractual terms. During the three and nine months ended September 30,
2026 and 2025, defaults of residential and home equity loans that had been modified within 12 months were insignificant. The table below provides aging information as of September 30, 2026 and 2025 for consumer real estate loans that were modified over the last 12 months.

Consumer real estate foreclosed properties totaled $52 million and $58 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans, including fully-insured loans, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $380 million and $411 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Corporation reclassified $29 million and $42 million of consumer real estate loans to foreclosed properties or, for properties acquired upon foreclosure of certain government-guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans), to other assets. The reclassifications represent non-cash investing activities and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Credit Card and Other Consumer
Credit card and other consumer loans are primarily modified by placing the customer on a fixed payment plan with a significantly reduced fixed interest rate, with terms ranging from 6 months to 72 months, most of which had a 60-month term at September 30, 2026. In certain circumstances, the Corporation will forgive a portion of the outstanding balance if the borrower makes payments up to a set amount. The Corporation makes modifications directly with borrowers for loans held by the Corporation (internal programs) as well as through third-party renegotiation agencies that provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures (external programs). The September 30, 2026 amortized cost of credit card and other consumer loans that were modified through these programs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $265 million and $629 million compared to $235 million and $560 million for same periods in 2025. These modifications represented 0.12 percent and 0.28 percent of outstanding credit card and other consumer loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 0.11 percent and 0.27 percent for the same periods in 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the financial effect of modifications resulted in a weighted-average interest rate reduction of approximately 18
percentage points for all periods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the financial effect of modifications resulted in principal forgiveness of $31 million and $85 million compared to $25 million and $76 million for the same periods in 2025.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. As of September 30, 2026 and 2025, defaults of credit card and other consumer loans that had been modified within 12 months were not significant. At September 30, 2026, modified credit card and other consumer loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty over the last 12 months totaled $760 million, of which $652 million were current, $63 million were 30-89 days past due, and $45 million were greater than 90 days past due. At September 30, 2025, modified credit card and other consumer loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $675 million, of which $573 million were current, $58 million were 30-89 days past due, and $44 million were greater than 90 days past due.
Commercial Loans
Modifications of loans to commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are designed to reduce the Corporation’s loss exposure while providing borrowers with an opportunity to work through financial difficulties, often to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. Each modification is unique, reflects the borrower’s individual circumstances and is designed to benefit the borrower while mitigating the Corporation’s risk exposure. Commercial modifications are primarily term extensions and payment forbearances. Payment forbearances involve the Corporation forbearing its contractual right to collect certain payments or payment in full (maturity forbearance) for a defined period of time. Reductions in interest rates and principal forgiveness occur infrequently for commercial borrowers. Principal forgiveness may occur in connection with foreclosure, short sales or other settlement agreements, leading to termination or sale of the loan. The following table provides the ending amortized cost of commercial loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Term extensions granted increased the weighted-average life of the impacted loans by 1.7 years and 2.4 years for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 1.0 year and 1.4 years for the same periods in 2025. The weighted-average duration of loan payments deferred under the Corporation’s commercial loan forbearance program was 1.8 years and 1.6 years for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 1.4 years and 1.1 years for the same periods in 2025. The deferral period for loan payments can vary, but are mostly in the range of 8 months to 2 years. Modifications of loans to troubled borrowers for Commercial Lease Financing and U.S. Small Business
Commercial were not significant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. As of September 30, 2026, defaults of commercial loans that had been modified within 12 months were $243 million. As of September 30, 2025, defaults of commercial loans that had been modified within the last 12 months were not significant.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Corporation had commitments to lend $2.2 billion and $658 million to commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans were modified during the period.
Loans Held-for-sale
The Corporation had LHFS of $8.1 billion and $5.2 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Cash and non-cash proceeds from sales and paydowns of loans originally classified as LHFS were $27.0 billion for both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Cash used for originations and purchases of LHFS totaled $29.9 billion and $23.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, non-cash net transfers into LHFS were not significant.
Accrued Interest Receivable
Accrued interest receivable for loans and leases and LHFS was $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is reported in customer and other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Outstanding credit card loan balances include unpaid principal, interest and fees. Credit card loans are not classified as nonperforming but are charged off no later than the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days past due, within 60 days after receipt of notification of death or bankruptcy, or upon confirmation of fraud. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation reversed $200 million and $638 million of interest and fee income against the income statement line item in which it was originally recorded upon charge-off of the principal balance of the loan compared to $209 million and $658 million for the same periods in 2025.
Bank of America 72
For the outstanding residential mortgage, home equity, direct/indirect consumer and commercial loan balances classified as nonperforming during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest and fee income reversed at the time the loans were classified as nonperforming was not significant. For more information on the Corporation's nonperforming loan policies, seeNote 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principlesto the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is estimated using quantitative and qualitative methods that consider a variety of factors, such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio and an economic outlook over the life of the loan. Qualitative reserves cover losses that are expected but, in the Corporation's assessment, may not adequately be reflected in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. The economic outlook is a significant factor and incorporates forward-looking information through the use of several macroeconomic scenarios in determining the weighted economic outlook over the forecasted life of the assets. These scenarios include key macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rate, real estate prices and corporate bond spreads. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, internal and third-party economist views, and industry trends. For more information on the Corporation's credit loss accounting policies including the allowance for credit losses, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The September 30, 2026 estimate for allowance for credit losses was based on various economic scenarios, including a baseline scenario derived from consensus estimates, an adverse scenario reflecting an extended moderate recession, a downside scenario reflecting continued inflation, a tail risk scenario similar to the severely adverse scenario used in stress testing and an upside scenario that considers the potential for improvement above the baseline scenario. When compared to the consensus baseline scenario noted above, the Corporation’s weighted economic outlook remains weighted to the downside and moderately weaker than the consensus baseline as of September 30, 2026, consistent with the Corporation’s weighted economic outlook estimated as of December 31, 2025. The weighted economic outlook assumes that the U.S. average unemployment rate will be approximately five percent in the fourth quarter of 2027 and will remain near
this level through the fourth quarter of 2028. It also assumes U.S. real gross domestic product will grow at 1.7 percent and 1.9 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarters of 2027 and 2028.
The allowance for credit losses decreased $196 million from December 31, 2025 to $14.2 billion at September 30, 2026. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was driven by continued improvement in credit card and commercial real estate, partially offset by loan growth and a qualitative reserve build related to uncertainties associated with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The change in the allowance for credit losses was comprised of a net decrease of $198 million in the allowance for loan and lease losses and an increase of $2 million in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was attributed to a decrease in the credit card and other consumer portfolios of $235 million, partially offset by an increase in the commercial portfolio of $4 million and the consumer real estate portfolio of $35 million.
The provision for credit losses decreased $26 million to $1.3 billion, and $395 million to $4.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease for the three-month period was attributed to a decrease in commercial of $90 million due to improved asset quality, partially offset by an increase in consumer of $64 million primarily driven by credit card, as the favorable impact of improved asset quality was lower in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease for the nine-month period was attributed to a decrease in consumer of $148 million and a decrease in commercial of $247 million. The decrease in consumer was primarily driven by improved asset quality within the credit card portfolio. The decrease in commercial was primarily due to improved asset quality in the commercial real estate portfolio, partially offset by loan growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio and a qualitative reserve build related to uncertainties associated with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $1.3 billion and $4.2 billion compared to $1.4 billion and $4.3 billion for the same periods in 2025. The decrease of $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven by asset quality improvement in commercial real estate and credit card.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses, including net charge-offs and provision for loan and lease losses, are detailed in the following table.

NOTE 6Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities
The Corporation utilizes VIEs in the ordinary course of business to support its own and its customers’ financing and investing needs. The Corporation routinely securitizes loans and debt securities using VIEs as a source of funding for the Corporation and as a means of transferring the economic risk of the loans or debt securities to third parties. The assets are transferred into a trust or other securitization vehicle such that the assets are legally isolated from the creditors of the Corporation and are not available to satisfy its obligations. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of the trust or other securitization vehicle. The Corporation also administers, structures or invests in other VIEs including CDOs, investment vehicles and other
entities. For more information on the Corporation’s use of VIEs, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 6 – Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The tables in this Note present the assets and liabilities of consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025 in situations where the Corporation has a loan or security interest and involvement with transferred assets or if the Corporation otherwise has an additional interest in the VIE. The tables also present the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025 resulting from its involvement with consolidated VIEs and unconsolidated VIEs. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure
Bank of America 74
is based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless and incorporates not only potential losses associated with assets recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet but also potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments, such as unfunded liquidity commitments and other contractual arrangements. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure does not include losses previously recognized through write-downs of assets.
The Corporation invests in ABS, CLOs and other similar investments issued by third-party VIEs with which it has no other form of involvement other than a loan or debt security issued by the VIE. In addition, the Corporation also enters into certain commercial lending arrangements that may utilize VIEs for activities secondary to the lending arrangement, for example to hold collateral. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to these VIEs is the investment balances and/or unfunded lending commitments. These securities and loans are included in Note 4 – Securities,Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses, or Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies and are not included in the following tables.
The Corporation did not provide financial support to consolidated or unconsolidated VIEs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025 that it was not previously contractually required to provide, nor does it intend to do so.
The Corporation had liquidity commitments, including written put options and collateral value guarantees, with certain unconsolidated VIEs of $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025.
First-lien Mortgage Securitizations
As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation securitizes a portion of the first-lien residential mortgage loans it originates or purchases from third parties, generally in the form of residential mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, FNMA and FHLMC (collectively the GSEs), or the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) primarily in the case of FHA-insured and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)-guaranteed mortgage loans. Securitization usually occurs in conjunction with or shortly after origination or purchase, and the Corporation may also securitize loans held in its residential mortgage portfolio. In addition, the Corporation may, from time to time, securitize commercial mortgages it originates or purchases from other entities. The Corporation typically services the loans it securitizes. Further, the Corporation may retain beneficial interests in the securitization trusts including senior and subordinate securities and equity tranches issued by the trusts. Except as described in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies, the Corporation does not provide guarantees or recourse to the securitization trusts other than standard representations and warranties.
The table below summarizes select information related to first-lien mortgage securitizations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

(1)The Corporation transfers residential mortgage loans to securitizations sponsored primarily by the GSEs or GNMA in the normal course of business and primarily receives residential mortgage-backed securities in exchange. Substantially all of these securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are typically sold shortly after receipt.
(2)A majority of the first-lien residential mortgage loans securitized are initially classified as LHFS and accounted for under the fair value option. Gains recognized on these LHFS prior to securitization, which totaled $18 million and $47 million, net of hedges, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $12 million and $26 million for the same periods in 2025, are not included in the table above.
(3)The Corporation may have the option to repurchase delinquent loans out of securitization trusts, which reduces the amount of servicing advances it is required to make. The Corporation may also repurchase loans from securitization trusts to perform modifications. Repurchased loans include FHA-insured mortgages collateralizing GNMA securities.
The Corporation recognizes consumer MSRs from the sale or securitization of consumer real estate loans. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for investors, including residential mortgage and home equity loans, totaled $75.4 billion and $80.2 billionat September 30, 2026and 2025. Servicing fee and ancillary fee income on serviced loans was $48 million and $148 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $54 million and $164 million for the same periods in 2025. Servicing advances on serviced loans, including loans serviced for others and loans held for investment, were $787 million and $894 millionat September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025. For more information on MSRs, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements.
Home Equity Loans
The Corporation retains interests, primarily senior securities, in home equity securitization trusts to which it transferred home equity loans. In addition, the Corporation may be obligated to provide subordinate funding to the trusts during a rapid amortization event. This obligation is included in the maximum loss exposure in the preceding table. The charges that will ultimately be recorded as a result of the rapid amortization events depend on the undrawn portion of the home equity lines of credit, performance of the loans, the amount of subsequent draws and the timing of related cash flows.

(1)For unconsolidated home equity loan VIEs, the maximum loss exposure includes outstanding trust certificates issued by trusts in rapid amortization, net of recorded reserves. For both consolidated and unconsolidated home equity loan VIEs, the maximum loss exposure excludes the reserve for representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees. For more information, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies.
(2)Maximum loss exposure includes obligations under loss-sharing reinsurance and other arrangements for non-agency residential mortgage and commercial mortgage securitizations, but excludes the reserve for representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees and also excludes servicing advances and other servicing rights and obligations. For more information, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies and Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements.
(3)Principal balance outstanding includes loans where the Corporation was the transferor to securitization VIEs with which it has continuing involvement, which may include servicing the loans.
Other Asset-backed Securitizations
The following paragraphs summarize select information related to other asset-backed VIEs in which the Corporation had a variable interest at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025.
Credit Card and Automobile Loan Securitizations
The Corporation securitizes originated and purchased credit card and automobile loans as a source of financing. The loans are sold on a non-recourse basis to consolidated trusts. The securitizations are ongoing, whereas additional receivables will be funded into the trusts by either loan repayments or proceeds from securities issued to third parties, depending on the securitization structure. The Corporation’s continuing involvement with the securitization trusts includes servicing the receivables and holding various subordinated interests, including an undivided seller’s interest in the credit card receivables and owning certain retained interests.
At September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025, the carrying values of the receivables in the trusts totaled $16.6 billion and $17.1 billion, which are included in loans and leases, and the carrying values of senior debt securities that were issued to third-party investors from the trusts totaled $7.1 billion and $6.4 billion, which are included in long-term debt.
Resecuritization Trusts
The Corporation transfers securities, typically MBS, into resecuritization VIEs generally at the request of customers seeking securities with specific characteristics. Generally, there are no significant ongoing activities performed in a resecuritization trust, and no single investor has the unilateral ability to liquidate the trust.
The Corporation resecuritized $10.4 billion and $32.7 billion of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $6.6 billionand$25.1 billion for the same periods in 2025. Securities transferred into resecuritization VIEs were measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in market making and similar activities prior to the resecuritization and, accordingly, no gain or loss on sale was recorded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, resecuritization proceeds included securities with an initial fair value of $682 million and $1.8 billion, compared to $1.4 billionand $4.2 billion for the same periods in 2025, of which substantially all of the securities were classified as trading account assets for both periods. Substantially all of the trading account securities carried at fair value were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation’s deconsolidated resecuritization trusts were not significant. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporation deconsolidated resecuritization trusts with total assets of $85 million and $580 million.
Customer VIEs
Customer VIEs include credit-linked, equity-linked and commodity-linked note VIEs, repackaging VIEs and asset acquisition VIEs, which are typically created on behalf of customers who wish to obtain market or credit exposure to a specific company, index, commodity or financial instrument.
The Corporation’s involvement in the VIE is limited to its loss exposure. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to consolidated and unconsolidated customer VIEs totaled $3.3 billion and $1.7 billion at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025, including the notional amount of derivatives to which the Corporation is a counterparty, net of
Bank of America 76
losses previously recorded, and the Corporation’s investment, if any, in securities issued by the VIEs.
Municipal Bond Trusts
The Corporation administers municipal bond trusts that hold highly-rated, long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds. The trusts obtain financing by issuing floating-rate trust certificates that reprice on a weekly or other short-term basis to third-party investors.
The Corporation’s liquidity commitments to unconsolidated municipal bond trusts, including those for which the Corporation was transferor, totaled $3.3 billion and $3.0 billion at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025. The weighted-average remaining life of bonds held in the trusts at September 30, 2026 was 8.9 years. There were no significant write-downs or downgrades of assets or issuers during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Collateralized Debt Obligation VIEs
The Corporation receives fees for structuring CDO VIEs, which hold diversified pools of fixed-income securities, typically corporate debt or ABS, which the CDO VIEs fund by issuing multiple tranches of debt and equity securities. CDOs are generally managed by third-party portfolio managers. The Corporation typically transfers assets to these CDOs, holds securities issued by the CDOs and may be a derivative counterparty to the CDOs. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to consolidated and unconsolidated CDOs totaled $54 million and $60 million at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025.
Investment VIEs
The Corporation sponsors, invests in or provides financing, which may be in connection with the sale of assets, to a variety
of investment VIEs that hold loans, real estate, debt securities or other financial instruments and are designed to provide the desired investment profile to investors or the Corporation. At September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025, the Corporation’s consolidated investment VIEs had total assets of $59 million and $58 million. The Corporation also held investments in unconsolidated VIEs with total assets of $37.4 billion and $30.0 billion at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure associated with both consolidated and unconsolidated investment VIEs totaled $3.6 billionand$2.8 billion at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025 comprised primarily of on-balance sheet assets less non-recourse liabilities.
Leveraged Lease Trusts
The Corporation’s net investment in consolidated leveraged lease trusts totaled $794 million and $850 millionat September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025. The trusts hold long-lived equipment such as rail cars, power generation and distribution equipment, and commercial aircraft. The Corporation structures the trusts and holds a significant residual interest. The net investment represents the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to the trusts in the unlikely event that the leveraged lease investments become worthless. Debt issued by the leveraged lease trusts is non-recourse to the Corporation.
The table below summarizes the maximum loss exposure and assets held by the Corporation that related to other asset-backed VIEs at September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025.

Tax-related VIEs
The Corporation holds equity investments in unconsolidated limited partnerships and similar entities that construct, own and operate affordable housing, renewable energy and certain other projects. The total assets of these unconsolidated tax-related VIEs were $84.1 billion and $86.5 billion as of September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025. An unrelated third party is typically the general partner or managing member and has control over the significant activities of the VIE. As an investor, tax credits associated with the investments in these entities are allocated to the Corporation, as provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and related regulations, and are recognized as income tax benefits in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statement of Income in the year they are earned, which varies based on the type of investments.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had tax-related equity investments totaling $24.5 billion and $25.4 billion, which were comprised of $23.3 billion and $24.4 billion as of the same periods under programs for which the Corporation elected the proportional amortization method, as well as $1.2 billion and $1.0 billionaccounted for under the equity method or fair value option. These investments are further described below.
The Corporation has investments in affordable housing, renewable energy and certain other projects that had a carrying value of $23.3 billion and $24.4 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which included unfunded capital contributions of $7.6 billion and $8.1 billion that are probable to be paid.
For the investments that qualify, the Corporation has elected to account for its equity investments in affordable housing, renewable wind energy and certain other projects under the proportional amortization method. The investments that do not qualify are accounted for under the equity method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Corporation recognized income tax credits and other tax benefits related to these investments of $1.1 billion and $3.2 billion compared to $1.1 billion and $3.5 billion for the same periods in 2025. For investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method, the Corporation recognized investment amortization of $751 million and $2.3 billion in income tax
expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $894 million and $2.6 billion for the same periods in 2025, and additional gains, losses and other returns totaling $33 million and $106 million in other income compared to $31 millionand $92 millionfor the same periods in 2025. The Corporation also has equity investments in solar renewable energy projects that are accounted for under either the equity method or at fair value when the Corporation has elected to account for the investment at fair value. These investments totaled $1.2 billion and $1.0 billionat September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Corporation’s unfunded commitments that are not included in the carrying value of its tax-related equity investment VIEs totaled $3.1 billionand $2.6 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which are contingent on various conditions precedent to funding over the next 10 years. The Corporation’s risk of loss is generally mitigated by policies requiring the project to qualify for the expected tax credits prior to making its investment. For investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method, there were no significant modifications or events that resulted in a change in the nature of those investments or in the relationship with the underlying project. The Corporation may also enter into power purchase agreements with renewable energy tax credit entities.

NOTE 9 Securities Financing Agreements, Collateral and Restricted Cash
The Corporation enters into securities financing agreements which include securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase. These financing agreements (also referred to as “matched-book transactions”) are to accommodate customers, obtain securities to cover short positions and finance inventory positions. The Corporation elects to account for certain securities financing agreements under the fair value option. For more information on the fair value option, see Note 15 – Fair Value Option.
Offsetting of Securities Financing Agreements
The Securities Financing Agreements table presents securities financing agreements included on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet in federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, and in federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. Gross assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements. For more information on the offsetting of derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives. For more information on the securities financing agreements and the offsetting of securities financing transactions, see Note 10 – Securities Financing Agreements, Short-term Borrowings, Collateral and Restricted Cash to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Collateral
The Corporation accepts securities and loans as collateral that it is permitted by contract or practice to sell or repledge. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of this collateral was $1.3 trillion and $1.1 trillion, of which $1.2 trillion and $1.0 trillion were sold or repledged as of the end of the periods. The primary source of this collateral is securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell. For more information on collateral, see Note 10 – Securities Financing Agreements, Short-term Borrowings, Collateral and Restricted Cash to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Restricted Cash
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation held restricted cash included within cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $7.2 billion and $6.5 billion, predominantly related to cash segregated in compliance with securities regulations and cash held on deposit with central banks to meet reserve requirements.
NOTE 10 Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into a number of off-balance sheet commitments. These commitments expose the Corporation to varying degrees of credit and market risk and are subject to the same credit and market risk limitation reviews as those instruments recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For more information on commitments and contingencies, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Extension Commitments
The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit (SBLCs) and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. The following table includes the notional amount of unfunded legally binding lending commitments net of amounts distributed (i.e., syndicated or participated) to other financial institutions. The distributed amounts were $10.5 billion and $10.6 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The carrying value of the Corporation’s credit extension commitments at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option, was $1.2 billion, which predominantly related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The carrying value of these commitments is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have specified rates and maturities. Certain of these commitments have adverse change clauses that help to protect the Corporation against deterioration in the borrower’s ability to pay.
The following table includes the notional amount of commitments of $3.8 billion and $2.4 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 that are accounted for under the fair value option. However, the table excludes the cumulative net fair value for these commitments of $116 million and $67 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities. For more information regarding the Corporation’s loan commitments accounted for under the fair value option, see Note 15 – Fair Value Option.

(1) At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $3.6 billion and $3.4 billion of these loan commitments were held in the form of a security.
(2) The notional amounts of SBLCs and financial guarantees classified as investment grade and non-investment grade based on the credit quality of the underlying reference name within the instrument were $33.3 billion and $10.3 billion at September 30, 2026, and $26.8 billion and $10.4 billion at December 31, 2025. Amounts in the table include consumer SBLCs of $1.1 billion and $987 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
(3) Primarily includes second-loss positions on lease-end residual value guarantees.
(4) Includes business card unused lines of credit.
Other Commitments
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had commitments to purchase loans (e.g., residential mortgage and commercial real estate) of $932 million and $700 million, which upon settlement will be included in trading account assets, loans or LHFS, and commitments to purchase commercial loans, net of amounts sold, of $833 million and $558 million, which upon settlement will be included in trading account assets.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had commitments to enter into resale and forward-dated resale and securities borrowing agreements of $197.1 billion and $149.0 billion, and commitments to enter into forward-dated repurchase and securities lending agreements of $144.3 billion and $108.9 billion. A significant portion of these commitments will expire within the next 12 months.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had a commitment to originate or purchase up to $3.7 billion and $4.0 billion, on a rolling 12-month basis, of auto loans and leases from a strategic partner. This commitment extends through November 2030 and can be terminated with 12 months prior notice.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had debt and equity security commitments totaling $2.5 billion and $884 million.
As a Federal Reserve member bank, the Corporation is required to subscribe to a certain amount of shares issued by its Federal Reserve district bank, which pays cumulative dividends at a prescribed rate. At both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had paid $5.4 billion for half of its subscribed shares, with the remaining half subject to call by the Federal Reserve district bank board, which the Corporation believes is remote.
Other Guarantees
Bank-owned Life Insurance Book Value Protection
The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection to insurance carriers who offer group life insurance policies to corporations, primarily banks. At both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, these guarantees, which are accounted for as derivatives, had a notional amount of $2.4 billion and an insignificant fair value. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation’s maximum exposure related to these guarantees totaled $378 million and $377 million, with an estimated maturity in 2034.
Bank of America 82
Merchant Services
The Corporation in its role as merchant acquirer or as a sponsor of other merchant acquirers may be held liable for any reversed charges that cannot be collected from the merchants due to, among other things, merchant fraud or insolvency. If charges are properly reversed after a purchase and cannot be collected from either the merchants or merchant acquirers, the Corporation may be held liable for these reversed charges. The ability to reverse a charge is primarily governed by the applicable payment network rules and regulations, which include, but are not limited to, the type of charge, type of payment used and time limits. The total amount of transactions subject to reversal under payment network rules and regulations processed for the preceding six-month period, which was approximately $183 billion, is an estimate of the Corporation’s maximum potential exposure as of September 30, 2026. The Corporation’s risk in this area primarily relates to circumstances where a cardholder has purchased goods or services for future delivery. The Corporation mitigates this risk by requiring cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants. The Corporation’s reserves for contingent losses, and the losses incurred related to the merchant processing activity were not significant.
Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees
For more information on representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The reserve for representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees was $185 million and $184 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the related provision is included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The representations and warranties reserve represents the Corporation’s best estimate of probable incurred losses, is based on its experience in previous negotiations, and is subject to judgment, a variety of assumptions and known or unknown uncertainties. At September 30, 2026, the estimated range of possible loss in excess of the accrued representations and warranties reserve was not significant. Future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for these exposures; however, the Corporation does not expect such amounts to be material to the Corporation's financial condition and liquidity.
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation Sponsored Member Repo Program
The Corporation acts as a sponsoring member in a repo program whereby the Corporation clears certain eligible resale and repurchase agreements through the Government Securities Division of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation on behalf of clients that are sponsored members in accordance with the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation’s rules. As part of this program, the Corporation guarantees the payment and performance of its sponsored members to the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation. The Corporation’s guarantee obligation is secured by a security interest in cash or high-quality securities collateral placed by clients with the clearinghouse and therefore, the potential for the Corporation to incur significant losses under this arrangement is remote. The Corporation’s maximum potential exposure, without taking into consideration the related
collateral, was $270.5 billion and $339.1 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Other Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Corporation periodically guarantees the obligations of its affiliates in a variety of transactions including ISDA-related transactions and non-ISDA related transactions such as commodities trading, repurchase agreements, prime brokerage agreements and other transactions.
Guarantees of Certain Long-term Debt
The Corporation, as the parent company, fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by BofA Finance LLC, a consolidated finance subsidiary of the Corporation, and effectively provides for the full and unconditional guarantee of trust securities and capital securities issued by certain statutory trust companies that are 100 percent owned finance subsidiaries of the Corporation.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
The following disclosures supplement the disclosure in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingenciesto the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure).
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal, regulatory and governmental actions and proceedings. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Corporation generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter.
As a matter develops, the Corporation, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable, and, for the matters disclosed below and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure, whether a loss in excess of any accrued liability is reasonably possible in future periods. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Corporation will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. The Corporation continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Excluding expenses of internal and external legal service providers, litigation and regulatory investigation-related expense of $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $59 million and $297 millionfor the same periods in 2025.
For any matter disclosed in this Note and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure for which a loss in future periods is reasonably possible and reasonably estimable (whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability), the Corporation’s estimated range of possible loss is $0 to $200 million in excess of the accrued liability, if any, as of September 30, 2026.
The accrued liability and estimated range of possible loss are based upon currently available information and subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the accrued liability and estimated range of possible loss are unpredictable
83Bank of America
and may change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate and accrual. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure.
Information is provided below and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure regarding the nature of the litigation or other contingency and, where specified, associated claimed damages. Based on current knowledge, and taking into account accrued liabilities, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, including the matters described below and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or liquidity of the Corporation. However, in light of the significant judgment, variety of assumptions and uncertainties involved in those matters, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of those matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of those matters could be material to the Corporation’s business or results of operations for any particular reporting period, or cause significant reputational harm.
Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions Compliance
BANA agreed to a consent order announced by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on December 23, 2024 relating to certain aspects of its U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions Compliance Programs (Programs). Since late 2023, the Corporation has been working with regulators to make changes to its Programs. On October 13, 2026, the OCC, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced regulatory resolutions related to certain aspects of the Programs. These resolutions included consent orders with the OCC and FinCEN and a settlement agreement with OFAC. As a result, for the third quarter of 2026, the Corporation recorded a $1.2 billionnon-tax-deductible charge in noninterest expense to accrue for the civil money penalties resulting from these regulatory resolutions. As previously disclosed, the Corporation has completed significant steps to satisfy the requirements of the December 2024 OCC consent order.
Deposit Insurance Assessment
On March 31, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that BANA did not owe additional interest to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Because no appeal was filed by June 15, 2026, the lawsuit was concluded as of that date. The remaining security pledged by BANA with respect to the disputed amount of interest has been released.
Unemployment Insurance Prepaid Cards
On June 8, 2026, BANA filed a motion to decertify the classes, which remains pending. On August 18, 2026, the court largely denied BANA’s motion for partial summary judgment, allowing the case to proceed to trial subject to its ruling on BANA’s pending motion for decertification.

As the Corporation’s Series L convertible preferred stock (Series L) was dilutive to EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total average dilutive common shares issued and outstanding included 62 million common shares, as the Series L was assumed to have been converted into common shares as of the beginning of the period. In addition, Series L preferred dividends of $56 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and $167 millionfor both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were included in net income allocated to common shareholders, as they would not have been paid if the Series L was converted.
NOTE 14Fair Value Measurements
Under applicable accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments under applicable accounting standards and conducts a review of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Transfers into or out of fair value hierarchy classifications are made if the significant inputs used in the financial models measuring the fair values of the assets and liabilities become unobservable or observable in the current marketplace. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no changes to valuation approaches or techniques that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy, how the Corporation measures fair value and valuation techniques, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation accounts for certain financial instruments under the fair value option. For more information, see Note 15 – Fair Value Option.

The following tables present a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, including net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings and accumulated OCI. Transfers into Level 3 occur primarily due
to decreased price observability, and transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability. Transfers occur on a regular basis for long-term debt instruments due to changes in the impact of unobservable inputs on the value of the embedded derivative in relation to the instrument as a whole.

(1)For loans and securities, structured liabilities and net derivative assets (liabilities), the weighted average is calculated based upon the absolute fair value of the instruments.
(2)The categories are aggregated based upon product type, which differs from financial statement classification. The following is a reconciliation to the line items in the table on page 87: Trading account assets – Corporate securities, trading loans and other of $2.5 billion, Trading account assets - equity securities of $391 million, Trading account assets – Non-U.S. sovereign debt of $218 million, Trading account assets – Mortgage trading loans, MBS and ABS of $1.2 billion, AFS debt securities of $64 million, Other debt securities carried at fair value - Non-agency residential of $41 million, Other assets of $2.1 billion, Loans and leases of $62 million and LHFS of $31 million.
(3)Includes models such as Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes.
(4)Includes models such as Monte Carlo simulation, Black-Scholes and other methods that model the joint dynamics of interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates.
(5)The weighted-average life is a product of changes in market rates of interest, prepayment rates and other model and cash flow assumptions.

Glossary
Alt-A Mortgage –A type of U.S. mortgage that is considered riskier than A-paper, or “prime,” and less risky than “subprime,” the riskiest category. Typically, Alt-A mortgages are characterized by borrowers with less than full documentation, lower credit scores and higher LTVs.
Assets Under Management (AUM) – The total market value of assets under the investment advisory and/or discretion of GWIM which generate asset management fees based on a percentage of the assets’ market values. AUM reflects assets that are generally managed for institutional, high net worth and retail clients, and are distributed through various investment products including mutual funds, other commingled vehicles and separate accounts.
Banking Book – All on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments of the Corporation except for those positions that are held for trading purposes.
Brokerage and Other Assets– Non-discretionary client assets which are held in brokerage accounts or held for safekeeping.
Committed Credit Exposure– Any funded portion of a facility plus the unfunded portion of a facility on which the lender is legally bound to advance funds during a specified period under prescribed conditions.
Credit Derivatives – Contractual agreements that provide protection against a specified credit event on one or more referenced obligations.
Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) – A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the counterparty credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments.
Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA)– A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the Corporation’s own credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments and/or structured liabilities.
Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA)– A portfolio adjustment required to include funding costs on uncollateralized derivatives and derivatives where the Corporation is not permitted to use the collateral it receives.
Interest Rate Lock Commitment (IRLC)– Commitment with a loan applicant in which the loan terms are guaranteed for a designated period of time subject to credit approval.
Letter of Credit– A document issued on behalf of a customer to a third party promising to pay the third party upon presentation of specified documents. A letter of credit effectively substitutes the issuer’s credit for that of the customer.
Loan-to-value (LTV)– A commonly used credit quality metric. LTV is calculated as the outstanding carrying value of the loan divided by the estimated value of the property securing the loan.
Macro Products – Include currencies, interest rates and commodities products.
Margin Receivable– An extension of credit secured by eligible securities in certain brokerage accounts.
Matched Book – Repurchase and resale agreements or securities borrowed and loaned transactions where the overall asset and liability position is similar in size and/or maturity. Generally, these are entered into to accommodate customers where the Corporation earns the interest rate spread.
Mortgage Servicing Right (MSR) – The right to service a mortgage loan when the underlying loan is sold or securitized. Servicing includes collections for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases– Includes loans and leases that have been placed on nonaccrual status, including nonaccruing loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.
Prompt Corrective Action (PCA)– A framework established by the U.S. banking regulators requiring banks to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital ratios, comprised of five categories of capitalization: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Insured depository institutions that fail to meet certain of these capital levels are subject to increasingly strict limits on their activities, including their ability to make capital distributions, pay management compensation, grow assets and take other actions.
Subprime Loans – Although a standard industry definition for subprime loans (including subprime mortgage loans) does not exist, the Corporation defines subprime loans as specific product offerings for higher risk borrowers.
Value-at-Risk (VaR)– VaR is a model that simulates the value of a portfolio under a range of hypothetical scenarios in order to generate a distribution of potential gains and losses. VaR represents the loss the portfolio is expected to experience with a given confidence level based on historical data. A VaR model is an effective tool in estimating ranges of potential gains and losses on our trading portfolios.
