The U.S. Treasury Department confirmed in a report Friday that 10 big banks are repaying $68 billion in federal government aid.

The firms are JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), BB&T (BBT), U.S. Bancorp (USB), American Express Co. (AXP), Capital One Financial Corp. (COF), Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK), Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS) and State Street Corp. (STT).

The report follows a Treasury Dept. announcement last week that big lenders had met the necessary requirements to repay funds they received from the government's financial-rescue fund.

The roughly $68 billion was repaid June 17.

The Troubled Asset Relief Program was started in October to rescue Wall Street. Nearly $200 billion has been doled out to banks around the U.S.
