According to a regulatory filing on Friday, the bank’s board of directors maintained Moynihan’s base salary at $1.5 million, with no cash bonus, and granted a total of $39.5 million in equity incentive awards.

Bank of America has achieved disciplined expense management while increasing investments in personnel, technology, marketing, and delivery networks. This focus on operational excellence generated approximately 250 basis points of operating leverage and improved the efficiency ratio by 147 basis points to 62%.

The bank maintained strong balance sheet metrics, with total assets of $3.4 trillion, including $201 billion in CET1 capital and $975 billion in average global liquidity sources. Loan balances increased 8%, while deposits grew 3%.

The performance units must be earned based on the company’s financial performance from 2026 to 2028, with the board raising performance standards and introducing an opportunity to earn up to 150% of the payout for exceptional performance.
