NEW YORK - Bank of America wanted to increase their dividend in the second half of the year but the U.S. government said no. JP Morgan Chase , Wells Fargo and Citigroup have already raised their dividend granted Citigroup's is to a paltry 1 cent a share.
BAC's dividend has been stuck at a penny since 2009. The fed is likely requiring a higher capital standard for BAC since it is the largest bank in the country, or it is worried about BAC's mortgage put-back fiasco.
