CBA offers higher dividend income than AMP, with fuller franking
Commonwealth Bank of Australia and AMP are Australian financial services companies, but they differ greatly in size and focus.
CBA is one of Australia’s big four banks and offers banking, superannuation, insurance and other services.
AMP has restructured in recent years and is focusing on wealth and banking services.
The figures in the story show CBA with a 3.31% dividend yield, compared with AMP’s 1.95%.
CBA’s dividends are fully franked, while AMP’s are 20% franked, meaning CBA’s payouts come with a larger tax credit for eligible investors.
AMP shares have gained 43.41% so far in 2026, while CBA shares are down 1.96%, but share price gains do not make AMP’s dividend larger.
For someone seeking passive income, the figures favor CBA, though they do not guarantee future returns.
