'''BankBoston''' was an American bank based in [[Boston]], Massachusetts, which was created by the 1996 merger of '''Bank of Boston''' and '''BayBank'''. One of its predecessor banks started in 1784, but the merged BankBoston was short-lived, being acquired by [[FleetBoston Financial]] in 1999. In 2005, FleetBoston was purchased by, and merged into, [[Bank of America]] of [[Charlotte, North Carolina]].

After the sale of its Latin American branches in 2006, BankBoston currently exists solely as a subsidiary private bank owned by Bank of America.
