Wells Fargo, the biggest US home lender, gave CEO John Stumpf a $21.3 million pay package for 2009, the most officially reported so far among the nation’s banking leaders.

Stumpf, 56, received $5.6 million of salary and stock awards of $13.1 million, while his deferred compensation plan increased in value by $2.58 million, the San Francisco-based bank said in a federal filing. JPMorgan Chase has said Jamie Dimon, head of the second-biggest US bank, got a bonus package of about $17 million that didn’t include cash. A formal disclosure detailing the entire package is still pending.

Wells Fargo repaid $25 billion in TARP funds in December, freeing it from federal rules on pay. The bank had resisted pressure to cut compensation amid public anger about taxpayer bailouts of lenders during the credit crisis.
