Bank of America rearranges business segments

Bank of America reported in a securities filing that it is rearranging its business segments, including combining its deposits and credit card units into one.


Before, the Charlotte bank had six segments:
  • Deposits
  • Card Services
  • Consumer Real Estate Services
  • Global Commercial Banking
  • Global Banking & Markets
  • Global Wealth and Investment Management
Now it has five:

  • Consumer and Business Banking, which includes deposits, card services and the business banking part of the former Global Commercial Banking.
  • Consumer Real Estate Services
  • Global Banking
  • Global Markets
  • Global Wealth and Investment Management
Here's how they ranked by net income for 2011, under the new classifications as reported Wednesday:

Consumer and Business Banking: $7.5 billion

Global Banking: $6 billion
Global Wealth and Investment Management: $1.7 billion
Global Markets: $1 billion
Consumer Real Estate Services: loss of $19.5 billion
All other: $4.8 billion
