One lateral idea to approach this, which might work fine here
Assume you have a checklist of "standard" bank names in D1:D10, eg:
Bank of America
Bank of India
St George Bank
etc
Assume your embedded data viz.:
Bank of America LTD Inc, US1234567-001
is running in A1 down
Place in B1, normal ENTER:
=INDEX(D$1:D$10,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($ D$1:$D$10,A1)),),0))
Copy down. Col B will return the required "standard" bank names
corresponding to the names embedded in col A.

I need a excel function to remove the numbers, decimals, coma, semicolon and
words like "LTD", "INC" from the cells.
The name in the cells are not fixed, it keep changes
example :
my cell ("A1") contain the below details
Bank of America LTD Inc, US1234567-001.
the excel function should give the below answer
Bank of America
