The Charlotte Region is home to some of the largest and most well-known #financial institutions in the United States, including Bank of America. Leading financial service professionals consistently choose our region for its thriving corperate community and wealth of opportunities. Kristerpher J Smith of BOA shares why he chose Charlotte over other markets in southeast. "I've relocated eight times in my career, but I chose Charlotte to join a growing middle market coverage banking team. Despite having options in cities like Nashville, Atlanta, and Miami, I picked Charlotte sight unseen because of its robust financial services industry. I've stayed because of the vibrant market and the incredible opportunities it offers. At this stage in my career, working in a thriving ecosystem with access to great leaders who inspire and mentor is paramount." Discover what draws more than 120 new residents to our region daily!
