Largest banks in the U.S. 2023, by assets
The “big four banks” in the United States are JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank. These banks are not only the largest in the United States, but also rank among the top banks worldwide by market capitalization, with JPMorgan Chase being the most valuable bank in the world.
Total assets of banks
As the largest bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase had total assets worth around 3.4 trillion U.S. dollars in 2023. Despite being the bank with the highest market capitalization in the world, the bank ranked only fifth in terms of total assets worldwide, while the top four positions were all held by Chinese banks.
Stability in the banking sector in the United States
All the big four banks in the United States had a common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio well above the required 4.5 percent in the second quarter of 2023. JPMorgan Chase had a CET1 ratio of 13.82 percent, while the highest CET1 ratio among banks in the United States during this period was 17 percent, which was reported by TD Bank, the tenth-largest bank in the United States in 2023.
