Having Bank of America posted up at the NFL stadium for a come back into business was perfect. Why? Because where else would you have gotten that maney people at one time that more than likely needs some type of financial assistance. Even if the people at that time weren't thinking about banking or needing financial aid when they leave the stadium Bank of America will be the first to come to mind because they remember them being a part of a huge event that they also had attended.

Bank of America is one of the largest banks in the nation. It is a multinational company and it is recognized by its high revenue value. Unfortunately, Bank of America has endured many complaints and harsh views regarding their lack of ethics. Ethical issues occur when there is a blatant disregard to implement integrity, trust, and responsibility. In some financial institutions, ethical matters are displayed in the way the consumers are treated. Within the past nine years, Bank of America has diminished all of their ethical promises by revealing customer information without their permission; discriminating against consumers based on their race; and manipulating overdraft fees in order to benefit the bank. In order to assess these problems, it is vital to recognize what Bank of America claims to stand for and determine where their most concerning issues are generated from.
