A delegation of NI Chamber members met with Bank of America at its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week. It follows a major investment announcement from the Bank, which will see it create 1,000 jobs in Belfast.
The NI Chamber delegation, which includes a targeted group of businesses and academia from Northern Ireland, welcomed the investment in the region’s financial services sector.
Following the meeting, Suzanne Wylie said: “Bank of America’s decision to establish a major presence in Belfast is a powerful endorsement of Northern Ireland’s talent, competitiveness and global outlook. This was a very productive business-to-business meeting. We were pleased to discuss how NI Chamber and our members can support Bank of America as it scales up its operations and deepens its links with our business ecosystem.”
The meeting was the first engagement during a three-day visit to North Carolina, which focused on seeking out new business, investment and research opportunities.
This is NI Chamber’s third delegation to North Carolina, which follows a cross-sectoral delegation led by the First Minister and deputy First Minister in 2025. It is the practical outworking of a strategic partnership signed with NC Chamber in 2024 to support two-way trade and investment.
