Bank equity capital: US bank rankings

The five banks at the top of the table at Q2 2026 were JPMorgan Chase Bank ($341.6 bn, OH), Bank of America ($240.8 bn, NC), Citibank ($171.3 bn, SD), Wells Fargo Bank ($169.5 bn, SD) and Capital One ($98.7 bn, VA). 10 of the top 10 were also in the top 10 in Q1 2026. 2 of the top 10 have their head office in Ohio.

Half of the 498 banks have a value between $383.4 mn and $1.7 bn (the middle two quarters of the table); one in ten is above $5.8 bn and one in ten below $292.2 mn. A year earlier, at Q2 2025, the median was $577.7 mn across 528 banks. The median rose from $618.8 mn in Q1 2026 to $630.7 mn in Q2 2026.

53 values lie far from the rest of the table (more than three times the spread of the middle half beyond it): JPMorgan Chase Bank ($341.6 bn); Bank of America ($240.8 bn); Citibank ($171.3 bn); Wells Fargo Bank ($169.5 bn); Capital One ($98.7 bn); U.S. Bank ($68.8 bn) and others. Values like these usually come from special-purpose banks, such as trust, custody, credit card or payment banks, whose balance sheets differ from lending banks; compare them with care.
