Bank of America today announced that its artificial intelligence-driven virtual financial assistant Erica now has more than 2 million users. This latest milestone more than doubles Erica's users in less than one month.

This announcement comes on the heels of yet another mobile milestone for the bank as total Zelle active users at Bank of America approaches 4 million. As the bank's clients have increasingly turned to cashless solutions, Bank of America saw 35 million Zelle person-to-person (P2P) transactions move $10 billion in Q2 2018. This is up 143 percent and 118 percent, respectively, from the same quarter in 2017.

'We're thrilled to see such rapid adoption of our latest mobile enhancements,' said Michelle Moore, head of digital banking at Bank of America. 'We look forward to continuing to innovate and deliver new solutions based upon our clients' direct feedback to help our 25 million mobile clients better achieve their financial goals on their terms.'

The bank's newest solution, Erica is the first widely available of its kind and employs the latest technology in AI, predictive analytics and natural language. Clients can type, text or talk with Erica to help meet their financial needs.

Since its launch, clients are engaging Erica most often to search transactions, view upcoming bills and account balances, and get their credit scores and account numbers.

Erica will help clients tackle even more complex tasks in the coming months by providing personalized, proactive guidance and insights to help users stay on top of their finances. These new features will include:

  • Spend Path: Provides a weekly snapshot of month-to-date spending.

  • FICO® Monitor: Helps to track important month-to-month changes to FICO scores.

  • Subscription Monitor: Flags upcoming recurring charges.

  • Credit card bill reminders: Send alerts for upcoming Bank of America credit card payments due.

Bank of America associates are actively piloting these enhancements, which will be made available to clients later this year.
