List of Banks in the USA

There are well over 4,000 banks operating in the United States and if we include banks that aren’t insured by the FDIC, the total number increases to more than 5,000. This is clearly an overwhelming number of banks to keep track of and to be knowledgeable about as you try to decide where to shop for your financial services such as checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards.

These figures do not include the thousands of credit unions that offer competing products and services. To makes matters worse, the universe of banks can be broken down into countless categorizations including:

  • National Banks
  • Local Banks
  • Regional Banks
  • Foreign Banks operating in the U.S.
  • Investment Banks
  • Online Banks
  • Specialty Banks

However, while the absolute number of banks is enormous, what we have found is that the largest banks in the United States continue to maintain a significant share of key banking metrics. As shown in the image above, the largest 10 banks represent approximately half of all the assets held by banks and employ 45% of all the people employed by banks.

The story is very similar if we look at the top 25 banks in the country, as shown in the below:

The top 25 banks in the US represent the vast majority of assets, deposits and loans, based on data through the end of 2021. The reality is that if you’re a consumer shopping for banking services in the United States then you are likely to encounter one of the top 25 banks. Therefore, a good starting point is to familiarize yourself with the top 25.

However beyond that there’s really no helpful way of understanding the banking landscape in the US, no way of knowing which banks fit into what categories and what type of bank you’re dealing with. As a result we created this page to be a repository of information organized into a list of banks in the US by various categorizations.

The hope is for this page to serve as a reference guide for anyone looking to learn more about their banks or banks overall in the U.S. We’ve also compiled routing numbers on banks in the United States along with other helpful information elsewhere on the site.

List of the Largest Banks in the United States

As mentioned above, the top 25 banks in the US represent almost two thirds of the total assets of banks in the country. The top four banks are especially notable as they each have more than a trillion dollars of assets; these four banks are clearly in a league of their own.

For some context, credit unions in the US have a combined $2.1 trillion of assets (as of December 2021) which is 37% less than the assets of JPMorgan Chase (one of the best banks in NYC) and a tiny fraction of the total assets the top 25 banks have.
