Net interest income rose 13% to $11.6bn in the quarter on the back of strong deposit growth and investment of excess liquidity, loan growth and benefits from higher long-end interest rates.

Noninterest income dropped 8% to $11.7bn, majorly due to lower investment banking revenue.

Commenting on the performance, Bank of America chair and CEO Brian Moynihan said: “Across our businesses, ongoing organic growth combined with good expense management drove operating leverage for the third consecutive quarter. Year over year we grew loans $70bn and deposits by $240bn.

“Our teammates supported our clients while managing through the impacts of the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and an evolving rate environment. Our strong first quarter client activity drove results that allow us to deliver for shareholders while continuing to invest in our people, businesses, and communities.”
