Liquid High-Yield Bank Stocks

Amid a time of uncertainty for the largest U.S. banks, grappling with a regulatory and political onslaught, TheStreet has identified the 10 actively traded bank stocks with the highest dividend yields, all of which are much smaller than the national players dominating the headlines.

Some of these stocks have performed well over the past year, although most have not. When considering this group, it's important to keep your investment objective in mind. If you are looking for income, some of these names have very attractive dividend yields, especially in the prolonged low-rate environment. Then you need to consider how likely it is for the company's earnings to sustain the dividend, while also building or maintaining sufficient capital to keep operating in a stable manner.
