📊

Short answer from Best Firms: the 5 largest banks in the US are JPMorgan Chase ($4.09 trillion), Bank of America ($2.65 trillion), Citibank ($1.98 trillion), Wells Fargo ($1.91 trillion) and Goldman Sachs Bank USA ($758.8 billion), ranked by total assets as of 30 June 2026\. The full top 100 is below.

## How this list of the largest US banks works

The Federal Reserve ranks every US-chartered commercial bank by consolidated assets each quarter. The latest release covers 3,765 banks, with data as of 30 June 2026 ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)).

It ranks bank charters, not holding companies. A group with two banks, such as **Morgan Stanley**, shows up twice, and investment-bank or insurance assets held outside the bank don't count.

Credit unions and foreign banks' US branches aren't in it either. It's the cleanest official answer to which US banks are biggest by balance sheet.

## Top 10 largest banks in the US by assets

The ten biggest banks hold $14.34 trillion, or 56.9% of all US commercial bank assets ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)).

Source: [Federal Reserve bank list](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm), data as of 30 June 2026.

**JPMorgan Chase** alone holds 16.2% of US bank assets and runs the most branches in the top 10, with 5,137 ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)). Its assets grew 8.0% from June 2025 ([Fed 2025 list](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/20250630/default.htm)).

**Bank of America** is the only top-4 bank that shrank, down 0.4% in a year. **Wells Fargo** grew 9.2% and runs 4,128 branches, second only to Chase.

Two of the top 10 are mostly custody banks. **BNY** has 1 US branch and **Goldman Sachs Bank USA** has 2, so their size comes from institutional clients rather than branch networks ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)).

⚠️

Holding company check: Morgan Stanley owns two banks on this list, Morgan Stanley Bank (No. 11, $419.3 billion) and Morgan Stanley Private Bank (No. 17, $250.4 billion). Added together, the two would rank No. 7, between U.S. Bank and Capital One. BNY, TD and Raymond James also own two banks each in the top 100.

## Full list: the 100 largest banks in the US ranked by total assets

Here's the complete top 100 as of 30 June 2026\. Together these banks hold $21.56 trillion, or 85.6% of the total ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)).

The HQ column is the bank charter's home city, which can differ from the parent's head office. That's why **Citibank** and **Wells Fargo Bank** both list Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

## Biggest moves since June 2025

Three 2026 bank mergers reshuffled the regional tier. Each acquired bank dropped off the list after being folded into its buyer ([Fed 2025 list](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/20250630/default.htm)).

## How concentrated US banking is

A few giants hold most of the money, and thousands of small banks share the rest ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)):

- Top 4 banks: 42.2% of assets ([Fed](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm))
- Top 10 banks: 56.9% ([Fed](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm))
- Top 50 banks: 80.2% ([Fed](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm))
- Banks with $10 billion or more: 141 of 3,765 ([Fed](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm))
- Banks under $1 billion: 2,867, or 76% of all banks ([Fed](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm))

Utah is the charter home for a cluster of big non-branch banks, including **American Express National Bank**, **Ally Bank**, **UBS Bank USA** and **SoFi Bank** ([Federal Reserve](https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/default.htm)).

## Best Firms' take

💡

Best Firms' take: the list of the largest banks in the US is really two lists. Four universal banks hold 42.2% of all assets, and everyone else is a regional bank trying to get big enough to compete, which is exactly what the Fifth Third, Huntington and Pinnacle deals did this year. If you're picking a banking partner, size tells you about stability and reach, not service; check branch count and the parent company too.
