The move is part of BofA’s cost-cutting initiative, Project New BAC, which aims to save $8bn per year for the bank by mid-2015.
BofA was quoted by the website as saying that these notifications reflect previously announced efforts to reduce their size, resolve legacy issues and simplify the company for their customers and clients.
BofA assured the affected workers to help find other jobs in the company.
According to the recent securities filing, BofA had cut 25,073 jobs in 2013, and is left with 242,117 employees as of December 2013.
