This chapter focuses on determining the location of bank branches under competitive conditions considering different levels of customer attraction. Finding an optimum location for bank branches depends on many criteria and such problems are known as NP-hard problems. From marketing point of view, the optimum location of a new branch should be far enough from other branches. Also, the sum of distances between all customers and the new branch should be minimized. In this chapter, Multiobjective Charged System Search is applied for finding the optimum location of bank branches with conflicting purposes. The algorithm has capability of finding the optimum location for new branches under competitive conditions with conflicting purposes. To fulfill this purpose, a part of Tabriz city is selected for implementation. The results of the proposed optimization algorithm are compared with other well-known algorithms. The evaluation reveals that the presented algorithm is able to achieve many of the solutions on the Pareto Front; furthermore, the distribution of the solutions on the Pareto Front and their convergence has been better than Multiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization and Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II.
