Bank of America Corp., the lender that got a $5 billion boost from Warren Buffett last year, now has the "top capital" among peers and is capable of paying a bigger dividend, said Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan.
The bank has fulfilled a goal Moynihan drilled into subordinates since his first day on the job: building a "fortress balance sheet," he said in an Oct. 17 staff meeting at the company’s Charlotte, North Carolina headquarters. A person close to the bank, acting on the condition of anonymity, enabled Bloomberg News to listen to the meeting.
