Bank of America has capped bonuses for its top UK bankers at 10 times salary, making it the latest Wall Street bank to overhaul its pay structure following the scrapping of long-standing limits on variable pay.

The US bank has rolled out a new maximum ratio of 10 times base salary for bonuses paid to its so-called material risk-takers within its UK business for 2024, according to regulatory filings.
