Bank of America Corp. said it has issued a $2 billion sustainability bond with a focus on racial equality, economic opportunity and the environment.

The bank said part of the bond's proceeds will go toward supporting financial-empowerment efforts for Black and Hispanic-Latino communities.

Bank of America said the bond is its eighth ESG bond, bringing total issuance to $9.85 billion. The five-year bond is callable in four years and will pay semi-annual interest at a fixed rate of 0.981% for the first four years, and quarterly at a floating rate after that, it said.
