(Repeats DEC 30 story, no change to text) * Goldman tops London banker pay league based on 2013 data * Data show 3.4 bln stg paid out to 2,600 top bankers at 13banks * Goldman, Bank of America paid most in bonuses vs fixed pay By Steve Slater LONDON, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs paid its top121 London bankers about 3 million pounds ($4.7 million) onaverage last year, far exceeding payouts at other leading banks,data released on Tuesday showed. The U.S. investment bank's data showed that it paid staff insenior or risk-taking positions $193.6 million in 2013 and gavethem 2.1 million restricted stock units (RSUs), worth $377million based on the bank's share price at the end of that year. The RSUs are due to be paid out over three years, but theymay not be paid in full and can be clawed back at a later date. The remuneration figures mean that Goldman was easily thehighest paying of 13 leading U.S., British, Swiss and Japanesebanks in 2013. Data compiled by Reuters from the 13 banks showed 2,600employees at British banks or working in London were paid morethan 3.4 billion pounds in 2013, or an average of 1.3 millionpounds each. That is almost 50 times average annual pay inBritain. The details are the most comprehensive released on bankers'pay in Britain, which remains a hot topic after large bonuseswere blamed for encouraging risk-taking and contributing to thefinancial crisis. Many shareholders have also voiced criticism,saying that pay needs to come down to improve profitability. The 2013 pay disclosures cover British banks globally andoverseas banks' British-based staff. EU banks outside Britain donot need to disclose the details. Most banks released the details earlier this year, butGoldman, Citigroup and Credit Suisse allreported in the past week, just before the year-end deadline. The data showed that Goldman and Bank of America face the most work to restructure pay to meet new EU rules thatcame into effect at the start of 2014 and cap bonuses at 200percent of fixed pay. Both banks paid senior staff more than five times more invariable pay than fixed pay in 2013. The following table shows what the banks paid their seniorand risk-taking employees, known as "code staff", in 2013.Figures are in millions of pounds, with $1 = 0.6436 pounds wherebanks reported in dollars.
