The San Francisco-based bank said it would pay a dividend of 45 cents per share, a 2-cent per share increase from the prior quarter.

The dividend increase is part of the company's 2018 capital plan, which received a non-objection from the Federal Reserve in June. Wells Fargo said it has approximately 4.6 billion shares outstanding.
