The pay bump translates to a minimum salary of almost $48,000 a year for full-time employees, according to the second largest U.S. lender.
BofA has increased pay several times in recent years, starting with a move to $15 an hour in 2017.
"Providing a competitive minimum rate of pay is foundational," Sheri Bronstein, the bank's chief human resources officer said in the statement.
