The largest banks in the United States are measured most often by total assets. The Federal Reserve publishes a quarterly table of every domestically chartered commercial bank ranked by consolidated assets; its release dated 2 October 2026 reports figures as of 30 June 2026.
This list reproduces the top 25 of that table. JPMorgan Chase Bank leads with US$4.09tn of consolidated assets, followed by Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo, the only other banks above US$1tn. Together the 25 banks listed held about US$18.2tn.
The Federal Reserve ranks individual bank charters, not holding companies, so groups such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley appear through their bank subsidiaries only, and Morgan Stanley appears twice. Foreign-owned US banks such as TD Bank, BMO Bank and HSBC Bank USA are included because they are chartered in the United States.

Bank charters and holding companies
A US banking group typically consists of a holding company that owns one or more chartered banks plus non-bank subsidiaries such as broker-dealers. The Federal Reserve table measures the chartered banks. This is why the ranking differs from lists based on holding-company assets: Goldman Sachs Bank USA held US$758.8bn at mid-2026, while Forbes lists total assets of US$2.06tn for The Goldman Sachs Group as a whole.
Each bank is also classified by charter. National banks (NAT) are chartered by the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; state member banks (SMB) are state-chartered and members of the Federal Reserve System; and the Federal Reserve notes that the former state non-member category (SNM) has been relabelled NMB. The same release says the previous US$300 million reporting threshold is being eliminated and that all domestically chartered commercial banks are now included.
Concentration at the top
The four largest banks together held about US$10.63tn at 30 June 2026, roughly 58% of the combined assets of the 25 banks in this list. JPMorgan Chase Bank alone was larger than the banks ranked fifth to tenth combined. Several of the banks in the lower half of the list are custody or card specialists rather than branch-based lenders, including State Street, Northern Trust, BNY and American Express National Bank.
Methodology
Entries are the 25 largest banks in the Federal Reserve's Large Commercial Banks table of US domestically chartered commercial banks, in the Federal Reserve's order. The ranking metric is consolidated assets in millions of US dollars as of 30 June 2026; the domestic-assets column is shown for comparison. The release was posted on 2 October 2026.
Savings institutions, credit unions and the US branches of foreign banks are outside the scope of the table. Holding-company names, headquarters cities and founding dates in the descriptions are taken from the Forbes Global 2000 for 2026; revenue figures are Forbes' US dollar figures for the parent group, not for the bank charter. No figures were estimated.
The Forbes Global 2000 for 2026, used here only for parent-company context, was published in June 2026 and covers public companies ranked on sales, profits, assets and market value.

US banks in global rankings
Frequently asked questions
What is the largest bank in the US?
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the largest US bank by consolidated assets, with US$4.09tn at 30 June 2026 according to the Federal Reserve. Its parent, JPMorganChase, also ranked first in the Forbes Global 2000 for 2026, which combines sales, profits, assets and market value.
How many US banks have more than US$1 trillion in assets?
Four. At 30 June 2026 the Federal Reserve's table showed JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo Bank above US$1tn of consolidated assets. The fifth-largest, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, held US$758.8bn, so there is a wide gap between the top four and the rest.
Why does Morgan Stanley appear twice?
The Federal Reserve ranks individual bank charters rather than groups. Morgan Stanley owns two national banks, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. in Salt Lake City and Morgan Stanley Private Bank, N.A. in Purchase, New York, which ranked 11th and 17th at mid-2026. Combined they held about US$669.7bn.
Are foreign-owned banks included in the list?
Yes, if the bank is chartered in the United States. TD Bank, N.A., BMO Bank N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. are owned by Canadian and British groups but are US-chartered commercial banks, so the Federal Reserve includes them. Branches of foreign banks that are not separately chartered are not covered.
How often is the list of largest US banks updated?
The Federal Reserve publishes the Large Commercial Banks table quarterly from regulatory filings. The edition used here reports data as of 30 June 2026 and was posted on 2 October 2026; the next edition will reflect 30 September 2026 balances.
