How Big are the Biggest U.S. Banks?

The front page of the business section is frequently splashed with news of the big banks in this country. Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, and others among them are sometimes hot topics for their financial performance and their impact on the American economy. At other times, they face heat for how their practices affect everyday consumers. Consequently, some might think that these banks are the only ones in the market – people seldom read about or even notice the local community banks down the street.
