vides customers increased conve
nience. product selection, value,
and flexibility
In September 1998, NationsBank
Corporation and BankAmerica
Corporation formally completed
their merger, creating the largest
bank in the United States. The
merged company holds a leading
eight percent of the nation's bank
deposits. It is also the largest
lender to individuals and busi-
nesses
The company now has a rela
tionship with 30 million— or one
out of three — American house
holds and more than 85 percent of
the Fortune 500 businesses. It
serves customers from almost
5.000 banking offices in 22 states
and the District of Columbia More
than 90 percent of the company's
revenues come from within the
United States
With the merger, customers of
both banks can now use nearly
14.000 ATMs around the country to
make cash withdrawals or trans
fer funds between primary check
ing and savings accounts with no
ATM fees.
In October 1998, the company re
vealed its new logo, which will soon
begin appearing across the country,
including the Clifton location.
“We believe we have made an
excellent choice to express who we
are, what we believe, and where we
aspire to take this great new com
pany,” said Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Hugh McColl.
“Now we focus the talents and en-
ergies of our 200,000 associates on
making Bank of America the very
best place to work, the very best
experience for our clients and cus
tomers, and the smartest invest
ment for our shareholders."

Jason Sorley Named
Outstanding Youth Volunteer
presents the name in a new shade
of blue and a clear, contemporary
typeface. The look also includes a
new corporate symbol that evokes
the company's breadth, scope, and
pride and the unity of its people
under one flag. The decision fol-
lowed months of analyzing the
strengths of the Bank of America
and NationsBank names.
“We began with the two best
names in banking and financial ser
vices,” McColl said “We inter
viewed more than 5,000 customers,
clients, and associates to deter
mine the respective strengths of
the two names we considered.
“Based on our research, we are
confident that the selection of Bank
of America will position our com
pany for success in today's — and
tomorrow's — swiftly changing and
intensely competitive financial ser
vices industry," McColl said
Existing Bank of America and
NationsBank individual and com
mercial banking clients and cus
tomers will experience no
immediate changes. Customers of
both should continue to bank as
they have, using their existing
checks, ATM cards, credit cards,
and other products and services
Customers will be notified well in
advance to any enhancements or
changes to their existing banking
relationships.
Bank of America, with $618 bil-
lion in total assets, is the largest
bank in the U.S., with full service
consumer and commercial opera
tions in 22 states and the District
of Columbia. Bank of America pro-
vides financial products and ser-
vices to 30 million households and
two million businesses, as well as
providing international corporate
financial services for business
transactions in 190 countries.
