Credit risk management for the consumer portfolio begins with initial underwriting and continues throughout a borrower’s credit cycle. Statistical techniques in conjunction with experiential judgment are used in all aspects of portfolio management including underwriting, product pricing, risk appetite, setting credit limits, and establishing operating processes and metrics to quantify and balance risks and returns. Statistical models are built using detailed behavioral information from external sources, such as credit bureaus, and/or internal historical experience and are a component of our consumer credit risk management process. These models are used in part to assist in making both new and ongoing credit decisions as well as portfolio management strategies, including authorizations and line management, collection practices and strategies, and determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and allocated capital for credit risk.

Consumer Credit Portfolio

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the U.S. unemployment rate and home prices remained relatively stable. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs remained relatively unchanged at $997 million compared to the same period in 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs decreased $60 million to $3.1 billion compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to improvement in the credit card portfolio.

The consumer allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $210 million to $8.2 billion from December 31, 2025. For more information, see Allowance for Credit Losses on page 39.

For more information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status, charge-offs and loan modifications for the consumer portfolio, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principlesto the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table 17 presents our outstanding consumer loans and leases, consumer nonperforming loans and accruing consumer loans past due 90 days or more.

(1)Residential mortgage loans accruing past due 90 days or more are fully-insured loans. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, residential mortgage included $123 million and $104 million of loans on which interest had been curtailed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and therefore were no longer accruing interest, although principal was still insured, and $95 million and $103 million of loans on which interest was still accruing.

(2)Outstandings primarily includes auto and specialty lending loans and leases of $50.9 billion and $55.3 billion, U.S. securities-based lending loans of $64.3 billion and $55.0 billion, and non-U.S. consumer loans of $3.3 billion and $3.0 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(3)For more information on the fair value option, see Note 15 – Fair Value Option to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4)Excludes consumer loans accounted for under the fair value option. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans accounted for under the fair value option that were past due 90 days or more and not accruing interest were insignificant.

Table 18 presents net charge-offs and related ratios for consumer loans and leases.

(1)Negative numbers represent net recoveries. Net charge-off ratios are calculated as annualized net charge-offs divided by average outstanding loans and leases, excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option.

We believe that the presentation of information adjusted to exclude the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio and loans accounted for under the fair value option is more representative of the ongoing operations and credit quality of the business. As a result, in the following tables and discussions of the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios, we exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option and provide information that excludes the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio in certain credit quality statistics.

Residential Mortgage

The residential mortgage portfolio made up the largest percentage of our consumer loan portfolio at 48 percent of consumer loans and leases at September 30, 2026. Approximately 49 percent of the residential mortgage portfolio was in Consumer Banking,48 percent was in GWIMand the remaining portion was in Global Markets and All Other.

Outstanding balances in the residential mortgage portfolio remained relatively unchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the residential mortgage portfolio included $8.4 billion and $9.1 billion of outstanding fully-insured loans, of which $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion had FHA insurance, with the remainder protected by Fannie Mae long-term standby agreements.

Table 19 presents certain residential mortgage key credit statistics on both a reported basis and excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio. The following discussion presents the residential mortgage portfolio excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio.

(1)Outstandings, accruing past due, nonperforming loans and percentages of portfolio exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(2)Includes loans that are contractually current that have not yet demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance following a modification.

Nonperforming outstanding balances in the residential mortgage portfolio totaled $2.1 billion at September 30, 2026, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2025. Of the nonperforming residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2026, $1.2 billion, or 57 percent, were current on contractual payments. Excluding fully-insured loans, loans accruing past due 30 days or more increased $111 million to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Of the $228.1 billion in total residential mortgage loans outstanding at September 30, 2026, $66.9 billion, or 29 percent, of loans were originated as interest-only. The outstanding balance of interest-only residential mortgage loans that had entered the amortization period was $3.9 billion, or six percent, at September 30, 2026. Residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period generally experience a higher rate of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status compared to the residential mortgage portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2026, $40 million, or one percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgages that had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more compared to $1.3 billion, or less than one percent, for the

entire residential mortgage portfolio. In addition, at September 30, 2026, $182 million, or five percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgage loans that had entered the amortization period were nonperforming, of which $65 million were contractually current. Loans that have yet to enter the amortization period in our interest-only residential mortgage portfolio are primarily well-collateralized loans to our wealth management clients and have an interest-only period of three years to 10 years. Substantially all of these loans that have yet to enter the amortization period will not be required to make a fully-amortizing payment until 2028 or later.

Table 20 presents outstandings, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs by certain state concentrations for the residential mortgage portfolio. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) made up 14 percent and 15 percent of outstandings at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California represented 14 percent of outstandings at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(1)Outstandings and nonperforming loans exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(2)Negative numbers represent net recoveries.

Home Equity

At September 30, 2026, the home equity portfolio made up six percent of the consumer portfolio and was comprised of home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), home equity loans and reverse mortgages. HELOCs generally have an initial draw period of 10 years, and after the initial draw period ends, the loans generally convert to 15- or 20-year amortizing loans. We no longer originate home equity loans or reverse mortgages.

At September 30, 2026, 85 percent of the home equity portfolio was in Consumer Banking, 11 percent was in GWIMand the remainder of the portfolio was in All Other. Outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio increased $594 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to draws on existing lines and new originations outpacing paydowns. Of the total home equity portfolio at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $8.8 billion and $8.9 billion, or 32 percent and 33 percent, were in first-lien positions.

29 Bank of America

At September 30, 2026, outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio that were in a second-lien or more junior-lien position and where we also held the first-lien loan totaled $4.8 billion, or 18 percent, of our total home equity portfolio.

Unused HELOCs totaled $42.1 billion and $43.1 billion at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The HELOC utilization rate was 39 percent and 38 percent at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Table 21 presents certain home equity portfolio key credit statistics.

(1)Outstandings, accruing past due, nonperforming loans and percentages of the portfolio exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(2)Includes loans that are contractually current that have not yet demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance following a modification.

Nonperforming outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio decreased $26 million to $366 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Of the nonperforming home equity loans at September 30, 2026, $233 million, or 64 percent, were current on contractual payments. In addition, $66 million, or 18 percent, were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. Accruing loans that were 30 days or more past due remained relatively unchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Of the $27.4 billion in total home equity portfolio outstandings at September 30, 2026, as shown in Table 21, nine percent require interest-only payments. The outstanding balance of HELOCs that had reached the end of their draw period and entered the amortization period was $3.1 billion at September 30, 2026. The HELOCs that have entered the amortization period have experienced a higher percentage of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status when compared to the HELOC portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2026, $21 million, or one percent, of outstanding HELOCs that

had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more. In addition, at September 30, 2026, $188 million, or six percent, were nonperforming.

For our interest-only HELOC portfolio, we can determine how many of our home equity customers pay only the minimum amount due on their home equity loans and lines through a review of our HELOC portfolio that we service and is still in its revolving period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, 23 percent of these customers with an outstanding balance did not pay any principal on their HELOCs.

Table 22 presents outstandings, nonperforming balances and net recoveries by certain state concentrations for the home equity portfolio. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA made up 10 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California made up 10 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(1)Outstandings and nonperforming loans exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option.

(2)Negative numbers represent net recoveries.

Credit Card

At September 30, 2026, 96 percent of the credit card portfolio was managed in Consumer Banking with the remainder in GWIM. Outstandings in the credit card portfolio increased $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $107.3 billion, as purchase volume and card transfers more than offset payments.

Net charge-offs decreased $21 million to $859 million and decreased $133 million to $2.7 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, as asset quality continued to improve. Credit card loans 30 days or more past due decreased $116 million to $2.5 billion, and 90 days or more past due decreased $140 million to $1.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Unused lines of credit for credit card increased to $436.5 billion at September 30, 2026 from $417.6 billion at December 31, 2025.

Table 23 presents certain state concentrations for the credit card portfolio.

Direct/Indirect Consumer

At September 30, 2026, 43 percent of the direct/indirect portfolio was included in Consumer Banking (consumer auto and recreational vehicle lending) and 57 percent was included in GWIM(principally securities-based lending loans). Outstandings

in the direct/indirect portfolio increased $5.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $119.4 billion driven by an increase in securities-based lending.

Table 24 presents certain state concentrations for the direct/indirect consumer loan portfolio.

Other Consumer

Other consumer primarily consists of deposit overdraft balances. Net charge-offs increased $27 million to $82 million and $34 million to $215 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily driven by higher overdraft losses.

Nonperforming Consumer Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties Activity

Table 25 presents nonperforming consumer loans, leases and foreclosed properties activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Nonperforming consumer loans totaled $2.6 billion at September 30, 2026, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2025.

At September 30, 2026, $481 million, or 18 percent, of nonperforming loans were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to their estimated property value less costs to sell. In addition, at September 30, 2026, $1.5 billion, or 56 percent, of nonperforming consumer loans were current and classified as nonperforming loans in accordance with applicable policies.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, foreclosed properties decreased $4 million to $86 million.
