Bank of America Addresses Millionaires Wishes With Mobile Enhancement

Merrill Lynch Wealth ManagementBank of America has enhanced its mobile experience with a new feature which allows clients to move seamlessly between the Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Merrill Edge, and U.S. Trust mobile apps without having to re-authenticate. The feature will be available in November.

Part of a broader approach designed to make it easier for clients to manage their banking and investing activities in one place, the enhancement addresses findings that the majority of clients with more than $1 million in assets want their banking and investment services accessible in one place. Some 70 percent of millennials in this category share this preference.
