Top Banks United States

 There are thousands of banks in US. It is very hard to decide which is the best bank. Here is the list of top


1. JP Morgan Chase $2,533bn


2. Bank of America $2,281bn


3. Wells Fargo $1,951bn


4. Citi Bank $1,843bn


5. Goldman Sachs $916bn


6. Morgan Stanley $851bn


7. U.S Bankcorp $461bn


8. TD Bank $380bn


9. HSBC $273bn


10. American Express $181bn


When considering where to put one's money for safekeeping, the list of bank and credit union options seems endless. There are small local and regional financial institutions that can be entrusted with your hard-earned cash, of course, but for full service and far-reaching banking, the biggest national banks reign supreme. According to the Federal Reserve, these 10 financial institutions are the biggest banks in the United States by assets held. Below is our top 10 banks in America.


JPMorgan-Chase


The largest bank in the country and the sixth-largest in the world, the Federal Reserve reports JPMorgan-Chase as holding close to $2 trillion in worldwide assets as of the end of last year. This makes it number one on our list of top 10 banks. The company is the result of the 2000 merger of two much-older banks, J.P. Morgan and Company and Chase Manhattan Corporation. While the J.P. Morgan name is used for investment banking and private wealth management, the bank provides retail and commercial bank services as Chase.


The financial titan of the 19th century, John Pierpont Morgan, is the namesake of the company and was the founder of the original J.P. Morgan Bank, but early American politician and notorious duelist Aaron Burr was one of the creators of Chase Manhattan. The House of Morgan brought in $96.6 billion in revenue last year despite controversies and legal woes over alleged energy price fixing and negligence during the Bernard Madoff scandal, that resulted in billions in fines paid.


Bank of America


The presence of Bank of America's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina singlehandedly makes that city one of the biggest financial centers in the country. Though it is not the largest bank, this company is in fact the world's largest wealth management firm, because it owns Merrill Lynch, a giant in that field.


Bank of America has about 50 million retail banking customers, but it had quite humble beginnings. It started with a small institution serving immigrants in San Francisco at the beginning of the 1900s, that was, oddly enough, called the Bank of Italy. Bank of America briefly ventured into finance in China with acquisition of a stake in Chinese Construction Bank, that it later sold off.


The company has made efforts to keep its headquarters in Charlotte and New York eco-friendly and LEED certified, but also has been accused of mortgage fraud in a number of lawsuits since 2010.

Studying for the CPA Exam While Working?

 Studying CPA Exam is harder than you can imagine. It gets harder when you're also working at the same time. The struggle is real. This is my personal experience as I finish college and started working as an office clerk at this one law firm in Texas. The goal is to finish college under the course in Accounting and I was successful to finish my Bachelor of Scienc e in Accounting. The problem started when I finish college and needed to pay for my own apartment. This is where adulthood comes in and you starting to realize the responsibility of adulthood. I had no choice but to work even if I'm not a CPA yet. Taking the CPA Exam was the original plan after college but our family encountered a financial problem, so I had to step in and be an adult. I'm 24 years old, living on my own, and paying my way of living. The job as an office clerk helps a lot on my financial status. However, there is an empty goal on my list. And that is to be a CPA. So, I started thinking and looking ...
