Bankster of America (Bank of America nickname)

Bank of America is one of the Big Four of America’s banks (along with Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo). The slang term “bankster” (banker + gangster) gained renewed popularity during the financial crisis of 2008. The unflattering Bank of America nickname of “Banksters of America” has been cited in print since at least January 2009; “Bankster of America” has been cited in print since at least January 2010.
       
Bank of America has other unflattering nicknames, including “Bank of Amerika/Amerikkka” (cited in print since at least 1970), “Bunch of Assholes” (cited in print since at least 2000), “Skank of America,” “Bank of Assholes” (both cited in print since at least 2003), “Stank of America” (cited in print since at least 2005)and “Bank ofFailmerica”(cited in print since at least 2009). The South Africa-related nickname, “Bank of Apartheid,” has been used since at least 1978, but is dated today.
   
       
Wikipedia: Bank of America
Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) is an American multinational banking and financial services corporation, the largest bank holding company in the United States, by assets, and the second largest bank by market capitalization. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina; Bank of America serves clients in more than 150 countries and has a relationship with 99% of the U.S. Fortune 500 companies and 83% of the Fortune Global 500. The company is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and a component of both the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
 
As of 2010, Bank of America is the 5th largest company in the United States by total revenue, as well as the second largest non-oil company in the U.S. (after Walmart). In 2010, Forbes listed Bank of America as the 3rd “best” large company in the world.

The bank’s 2008 acquisition of Merrill Lynch made Bank of America the world’s largest wealth manager and a major player in the investment banking industry.
 
The company holds 12.2% of all U.S. deposits, as of August 2009, and is one of the Big Four banks in the United States, along with Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo—its main competitors.
