The following are lists of the largest banks in the world, as measured by market capitalization and total assets.

By market capitalization

The list is based on Forbes ranking as of January 2024 based on an analysis of the bank's operations, financial performance, and overall impact on the global economy.

Many of the largest banks in the world are part of larger bank holding companies. This structure allows them to offer various financial services, making them more resilient and competitive in the global market. ^[1]

By total assets

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the largest bank in the world by total assets

This list is based on the April 2023 S&P Global Market Intelligence report of the 100 largest banks in the world. The ranking was based upon assets as reported and was not adjusted for different accounting treatments.^[2] Another publication which compiles an annual list of the world's largest banks is The Banker magazine. It publishes a list of the World 1000 Largest Banks every July.^[3] The financial data published by the July yearly issue of The Banker are much more extensive compared to the S&P Top 100 banks, but it is not a publication intended for the general public. Some banks were added due to their annual reports.

Accounting treatment affects the assets reported: for example, the United States uses US GAAP (as opposed to IFRS), which only reports the net derivative position in most cases, leading to US banks having fewer derivative assets than comparable non-US banks.^[4] If JPMorgan Chase reported under the IFRS, it would be ranked 2nd on the list as of 2023^[update], rather than 5th.^[2]
