Half of the 500 banks have a value between $0 and $374.1 mn (the middle two quarters of the table); one in ten is above $2.5 bn and one in ten below $0. A year earlier, at Q2 2025, the median was $28.1 mn across 528 banks. The median fell from $19.6 mn in Q1 2026 to $16.9 mn in Q2 2026.

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.
