Check out our recent thought leadership on The Financial Brand.
Reports of the bank branch's death have been greatly exaggerated. With approximately 97,000 branches still operating across the U.S. at the end of 2023, physical locations remain central to banking strategy — but their purpose is evolving dramatically. The post-pandemic era has revealed a surprising truth: leading banks aren't abandoning branches, they're reinventing them. Bank of America's ambitious plan to establish 165 new locations by 2026 eliminates traditional teller lines in favor of collaborative spaces with financial specialists. Citizens Bank is "rightsizing" branches into intimate environments designed for meaningful financial conversations. Why this renewed focus on physical presence in a digital world? "Physical branches are fundamental for deposit gathering, which remains the lifeblood of the bank," explains Andrew Short, executive director of product management at Candescent. "Small businesses still manage a large quantity of cash, which requires visiting a branch to make deposits — often several times per week." Learn more in the article in the comments.
