In 2024, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) was the world's largest bank by total assets, reaching nearly 6.7 trillion U.S. dollars. The next three largest banks were also based in China: the Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Bank of China. The largest non-Chinese bank that year was JPMorgan Chase, with total assets exceeding four trillion U.S. dollars. Largest bank by market capitalization The value of total assets is a common measure of a bank's prosperity, and is defined as all assets owned by the bank. Another common indicator is the bank's market capitalization, which is used to determine the size of the bank. The market capitalization is the market price of one share multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. Ranked by market capitalization instead of total assets, JPMorgan Chase was the largest bank in the world in 2024, while ICBC ranked third. How do digital banks compare? Digital banks have surged in popularity over the past decade, attracting millions of customers with their convenient mobile interfaces, lower fees, and innovative financial products. Despite this impressive user growth, their financial footprint remains dwarfed by traditional banking institutions. A prime example is WeBank, which despite boasting approximately 400 million users - making it the world's largest digital bank by customer count - managed total assets of only about 74 billion U.S. dollars in 2023.

There are a large number of banks in Japan, including five city banks and over 100 different regional banks.City banks, the commercial banking units of the three megabanks, MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Banking Corporation, and Mizuho Bank, are among the largest financial institutions in Japan and operate nationwide through a network of branches in major cities. They offer a wide range of financial services domestically and globally and do business with major corporations in Japan. Regional banks Unlike city banks, which belong to the largest banks in the world, Japanese regional banks focus on the domestic market. Regional banks are smaller than city banks and usually operate in the region where they are headquartered. They offer financial services to local individual customers and small and mid-sized enterprises. For historical reasons, regional banks are divided into regional banks I and II. Both types of banks fulfill the same functions, but are members of different associations. This is because most regional banks II are former mutual banks that have become ordinary commercial banks.
