Oct 17 - Bank of America beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on Tuesday as it joined rivals in earning more from interest payments, while benefiting from a better-than-expected performance of its investment banking and trading divisions.

Revenue at BofA's consumer banking unit rose 6% to $10.5 billion in the third quarter. Spending on debit and credit cards also rose 3% in the quarter, BofA reported. "What we'll be trying to do from here is maintain discipline and we maybe flattish from here on. We'll see how that develops over the course of the next year," Borthwick said.
