MILTON — Bank of America customers in Milton will have further to travel to find a branch location come September when the doors of the Milton branch officially close.
The bank sent a letter stating that “On Tuesday, September 11, 2018 the financial center located at 6204 Highway 90, Milton Florida is closing.”
The letter listed the two nearest locations—6727 N Davis Highway and 5041 Bayou Blvd—both in Pensacola.
People responding to a Press Gazette Facebook post were mixed in their reactions.
“As much as I feel like the customer service needs improvement there," Liz Barragan wrote, "it will be a major inconvenience for me to go to Pensacola for routine banking.”
Linda Barry wrote that “there are other options.”
Mathew Daily, public information officer for Bank of America, said consolidation necessitated the closure.
“We are constantly looking at the network centers' changing needs and customers' habits,” Daily said. “Many customers are adopting online banking practices and we see that the financial centers are changing. They are being used for more complex but less frequent needs like retirement planning.”
There will be no impact to client accounts, according to Daily, which are accessible at any financial center or ATM, as well as the mobile and online banking platforms. He also said the company is working to ensure the best possible transition for the employees.
