The spokesperson confirmed that "there will be no interruption of service from closing (both locations) to opening the newer, enhanced center."
A standalone Bank of America is also available in nearby Abington.

One of the two locations was in Brockton.
"At Bank of America, we’re committed to making financial lives better – for our employees, our clients, and our communities," the company's Head of Digital, David Tyrie, said.
"One of the ways we do that is by designing environments and experiences that help those with disabilities succeed."
The company said it hired staff members fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and adopted more inclusive digital techniques.
Bank of America confirmed "all ADA capabilities/attributes as well as employees who are ASL-trained will be available at the new center."

Bank of America closed one store in Rockway Parkway, Brooklyn, New York, in June.
The Brooklyn branch was the only Bank of America that closed in New York this year.
But, the state of banking in the state has entered a flux in 2023.
Companies, including JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, are shuttering dozens of locations throughout the state.
In July, five bank locations across the state are set to close. Another six banks are shuttering in August.
