As a result of the closures, banks across the board saw a spike in online activity. At Bank of America, 47 percent of second quarter sales came through digital channels, compared to 29 percent in the same period over the past two years.

We believe it is finally ‘show me’ time on the digital cost cutting story,” he added.
