    Bottom line

    This trend of closing bank branches began about 15 years ago and accelerated during the pandemic. It’s clear that customers no longer need consistent access to a physical bank branch now that they can bank through online portals and mobile banking apps.

    However, if you still prefer to bank at a brick-and-mortar location, you might have to look for a new place to boost your bank account if your favorite branch is closing. Fortunately, most Floridians will still have convenient access to a Bank of America branch despite such closures.

    Money tips that can work for everyone

    No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

    Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

    Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

    Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
