Dividend Money

Written by Tyler |

Regular readers will know how much I like bank stocks, especially the Canadian Banks.  However, I thought it might be nice to post some high yielding banks from the United States.  These picks are based on yield, so make sure that you do your due diligence before investing your hard earned bucks!

Listed below are the fourteen highest yielding banking companies which trade fairly regularly, along with the symbol, yield, and state that they are based in. Yield is based on the latest annualized quarterly dividend divided by the current share price:

Beverly Hills Bancorp (BHBC) 6.11%, CA
Farmers Natl Banc Corp (FMNB.OB) 6.1%, OH
Community Bank & Trust (CBNH.OB) 5.9%, NH
