Which ASX 200 financial share will pay the most in FY24?

For the purposes of this article, we're going to limit our research to ASX 200 large-cap financial shares.

Large-caps are those with market capitalisations above $10 billion. They're some of the market's bigger, more well-established businesses and hence they are able to share more of their profits with investors.

Among the ASX 200 financial shares are 10 large-caps. They are led by Australia's biggest bank Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), with a market cap of $173 billion.

Here are the ASX dividend consensus forecasts as published on CommSec today.
