Last year, with the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes on top of an already slowing economy, we had to navigate unusual economic conditions in 2022. According to Forbes, U.S. banks generated around $260 billion in net income in the 12 months through September 2022, or a 6% decline compared to last year, according to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Moreover, small community banks around the country continue to thrive, with 96% of all FDIC-insured institutions still profitable.
Since 2009, Forbes has ranked the 100 largest U.S. banks and thrifts by assets, using S&P Global Market Intelligence data. The Forbes’ 14th annual America’s Best Banks list looks at growth, credit quality, and profitability to rank the 100 largest (by assets) publicly-traded banks and thrifts from best to worst.
