At present, the bank employs over 1,500 staff in the market.

The latest move is part of the bank’s broader plan to set up 350 financial centres in new and existing markets.

Apart from Ohio, this plan includes Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, Denver, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, and Lexington.

Bank of America Ohio market president Jeneen Marziani said: “The new financial centres in Cincinnati and Columbus further tie our success with Ohio’s success.

“By bringing even more financial services to Ohio – including new Private Bank offices – we’re able to deliver the full breadth of our capabilities to help our clients improve their financial lives.”

Earlier this year, Chase, the consumer banking arm of JPMorgan Chase, too announced plans to open up to 90 new branches in key US markets.
