The Boulder Group lists an S&P rating of A- and Matthews lists A+, and the bank reported 3,531 U.S. financial centers at September 30, 2026 (Bank of America, October 14, 2026).

Key Takeaways
Highly Rated Tenant, Split Ratings
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) is rated A- by S&P in The Boulder Group’s September 2026 report, while Matthews lists A+. It had 3,531 U.S. financial centers at September 30, 2026 (Bank of America, October 14, 2026).
Confirm the Lease Structure
Boulder lists a ground lease as the typical structure, where the landlord owns the land and the bank owns the building. Matthews lists triple net. Both show 15-year terms with 10% rent increases every five years, so confirm the structure, and who handles roof and structure, on any property.
Cap Rates Around 6%
Bank of America properties currently show asking cap rates of 5.75% – 6.05% with 10 years remaining and 5.00% – 5.30% for a new 15-year lease (The Boulder Group, September 2026). Matthews shows an average asking cap rate of 5.76% across 32 properties on the market.
A Shrinking Branch Network
Bank of America had 3,531 U.S. financial centers at September 30, 2026, down from 3,649 a year earlier (Bank of America, October 14, 2026). A strong credit does not guarantee that a given branch stays open, so check each location.
Bank of America NNN Cap Rates and Lease Data
If you’re weighing a Bank of America property, three things shape what you’ll earn: who the tenant is, how the lease is structured, and what yield you’re paying for. Here’s how they fit together.
On the tenant, the reports differ. Boulder shows an S&P rating of A- and Matthews shows A+; Bank of America’s investor relations page lists S&P A- for the parent company, so confirm which legal entity signs the lease.1 Both reports show typical new leases at 15 years with a 10% rent increase every five years, which works out to about 2% a year. On structure, Boulder lists a ground lease, meaning you own the land and the bank owns the building, while Matthews lists triple net. Confirm which applies, and who handles roof and structure, before you rely on the lease.
That’s where cap rates come in. Boulder shows asking cap rates of 5.00% – 5.30% on a new 15-year lease, 5.75% – 6.05% with 10 years left, and 6.65% – 6.95% with 5 years left.2 The pattern is worth knowing: as the remaining term gets shorter, the yield goes up, because you’re taking on the question of whether the bank renews or closes the branch.
Closed sales land in a similar place. Matthews reports 17 Bank of America sales in 2025 at an average of about 5.88%, with 7 to 10 years of lease remaining on average. The one sale reported so far in 2026 closed at 8.69% with 5 years left, too small a sample to read much into. Matthews also shows 32 properties on the market asking 5.76% on average, with asks ranging from 4.25% to 8.8%.3
In dollars, Boulder puts the average sale price at about $3.83 million with average rent of about $230,000 a year. On a typical 4,000 SF branch, that works out to roughly $958 per square foot, and $230,000 on $3.83 million is a yield of about 6.0%.4 Matthews shows a lower average rent of $192,035 and a typical branch of about 4,200 SF, so check the actual rent and size of any property against both.

1. The Boulder Group, Net Lease Tenant Profiles, September 2026, p. 11; Matthews, 2026 Net Lease Tenant Report, p. 8. Credit ratings are S&P as reported by each source (Boulder A-, Matthews A+). Bank of America’s credit ratings page (October 15, 2025 version) lists S&P A- for Bank of America Corporation. Lease terms are typical for new construction. The 2% a year figure is our calculation (10% over five years). Boulder defines a ground lease as one where the landlord owns the ground and a third party owns the improvements. ↩

Average cap rate on closed transactions in 2025 (11 in the first half at 5.74% and 6 in the second at 6.13%); the 5.88% blended figure is our calculation from those two averages. Average lease term remaining ranged from 7 to 10 years. The 2026 figure is year to date as of the report (1 transaction at 8.69%). Matthews figures are averages of closed sales and current asking rates, while Boulder’s are asking rates, so the two measure different things. ↩

Bank of America as a Tenant
How Bank of America operates
Bank of America describes itself as one of the world’s leading financial institutions, serving more than 69 million clients through about 3,500 retail financial centers, about 15,000 ATMs and digital banking (Bank of America, October 14, 2026).
Digital banking is part of that model. The bank added more than 200,000 net new consumer checking accounts in the third quarter of 2026, extending its streak of quarterly checking account growth to 31 periods (Beinsure, October 2026).
Boulder lists a typical building at about 4,000 SF and average annual rent of about $230,000; Matthews lists about 4,200 SF and average annual rent of $192,035. The gap between the two is worth asking about when you review a specific property.
Financial strength and recent results
Bank of America reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of about $30 billion, up 3%, and net income of $6.9 billion, down from $8.3 billion a year earlier. The drop reflects a $1.2 billion regulatory settlement charge tied to consent orders announced on October 13 by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (Beinsure; Bank of America, October 14, 2026).
Excluding that charge, net income was $8.1 billion. Ending deposits were $2.04 trillion, and the standardized common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 10.9% (preliminary) (Bank of America, October 14, 2026).
Boulder lists an S&P rating of A- and Matthews lists A+, as described in the market data section above. Review its current credit ratings from the major agencies as part of your due diligence, and confirm whether the lease is signed by the parent company or a bank subsidiary.
Why Investors Buy Bank of America Properties
Bank of America combines a high credit rating with a long lease. Both reports show typical new leases at 15 years with 10% rent increases every five years, and the S&P ratings they list are A- (The Boulder Group, September 2026) and A+ (Matthews, 2026 Net Lease Tenant Report).
Rent growth is modest but scheduled. A 10% increase every five years works out to about 2% a year, compared with flat rent for AutoZone and 5% every five years for Dollar General in The Boulder Group’s report.
Yields sit in the middle of the range for large tenants. With 10 years remaining, The Boulder Group’s September 2026 asking range of 5.75% – 6.05% compares with 5.40% – 5.70% for AutoZone and 6.30% – 6.60% for Burger King.
Risks and Market Conditions
Branch networks are shrinking. Bank of America had 3,531 U.S. financial centers at September 30, 2026, down from 3,649 a year earlier (Bank of America, October 14, 2026). A bank can close or consolidate a branch even when the corporate credit is strong, so the location, the remaining lease term and the renewal terms matter as much as the rating.
Structure and recent news deserve a close read. Boulder lists a ground lease, so you may own only the land; Matthews lists triple net. The bank also took a $1.2 billion regulatory settlement charge in the third quarter of 2026, so read the October consent orders and consider how they could affect the bank. Finally, check the remaining term: asking cap rates rise as the term shortens.

Bank of America NNN FAQs
Who pays property expenses on a Bank of America branch NNN property?
It depends on the lease structure. A triple net lease generally places property taxes, insurance and maintenance on the tenant. The Boulder Group lists a ground lease as typical for Bank of America, where the landlord owns the land and the bank owns the building, and Matthews lists triple net. Confirm the structure, and who handles roof and structure, on the specific property you are considering.
How strong is Bank of America as a tenant?
Bank of America is rated A- by S&P in The Boulder Group’s September 2026 report and A+ in Matthews’ 2026 report, and it had 3,531 U.S. financial centers at September 30, 2026 (Bank of America, October 14, 2026). That count is down from 3,649 a year earlier, so check whether a specific branch is a core location.
How should I evaluate a Bank of America branch as a tenant?
Start with who signs the lease: Boulder lists A- and Matthews lists A+, so confirm the legal entity. Then review the remaining term, the 10% rent increases every five years and the structure (ground lease or triple net). Cap rates rise as the remaining term shortens: Boulder shows 5.00% – 5.30% on a new 15-year lease and 6.65% – 6.95% with 5 years left (September 2026).
