Overall, the banking group reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $4.33bn for the fourth quarter of 2016, a 46.7% surge from $2.95bn in the corresponding quarter of 2015.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said: “We had strong results in 2016 because our strategy is working. We are lending more and seeing historically low charge-offs, which is what responsible growth is all about.
“Revenue was up modestly, but EPS grew by 15% as we continued to manage our expenses and create operating leverage. With strong leadership positions in our businesses against a backdrop of rising interest rates, we are well-positioned to continue to grow and deliver for our shareholders in 2017."
