Germany’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB) has followed the lead of Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE: CS), and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) in announcing a cap on bonuses for 2012. The German bank has set a cap of about $266,000 on individual bonuses this year.

The limit applies to all bank employees, including investment bankers. DB proposes to pay up to half the bonus in cash and the other half in stock that the employees must hold until August.

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) is believed to have capped its 2012 cash bonus payments at $150,000 for its investment bankers, although the bank has not confirmed the amount.
