Internship performance bonus

How common is it to get a substantial bonus at the end of your internship? I was an unpaid intern but I got paid a very small stipend every week and all my expenses paid. The expenses were quite considerable due to a long commute into London.

At the end of my internship I unexpectedly got paid a very large performance bonus.

Is it common for banks to give performance bonuses to interns?
