Why Work Here?
Bank of America Chester
Our International business in Chester was first established in 2010, but our presence goes back to 2005 after acquiring and running the MBNA credit card business locally.
Since selling MBNA in 2017, Bank of America has continued to forge a regional presence in the North-West and we have increased our headcount by 25% since 2020, with continued growth expected for the future.
Iwona Szmidt, Managing Director, Head of Currency, Commodities & Derivatives Operations (CCDO) and GMO Transformation & OpEx (TOpEx) Market Leader and Site Lead for Chester says:
“Our Chester site is one of the largest locations for Bank of America in EMEA and with the many different roles and departments now being led from here, it is a fantastic place to build your career.
We support our global businesses in a variety of functions and offer great opportunities in the heart of the thriving North-West of England. Chester is a critical hub in our International operations and the commitment to the growth and development of its people and the site continues.
As well as supporting our colleagues we also invest in our local community through our social responsibility and Environmental and Sustainability programmes.”
