About this chart

The four largest banks in the world by total assets are all Chinese: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ($7.65 trillion), Agricultural Bank of China ($6.97 trillion), China Construction Bank ($6.52 trillion) and Bank of China ($5.48 trillion). The ranking is S&P Global Market Intelligence's April 2026 list, based on year-end 2025 filings, and it is a single snapshot rather than a time series.

JPMorgan Chase is the largest bank outside China, fifth overall at $4.42 trillion, a figure that matches its 10-K total assets at December 31, 2025. HSBC ($3.44 trillion) and Bank of America ($3.41 trillion) follow, then BNP Paribas ($3.28 trillion) and Crédit Agricole ($3.15 trillion). Assets are as reported and not adjusted for accounting differences: US GAAP banks report fewer derivative assets than IFRS banks.
