The Complete List of Top Banks Countrywise

Investors have seen the collapse of many banks worldwide since 2007.Some of the collapsed banks include the following:

  • Northern Rock, Bradford & Bingley – UK
  • Fortis – The Netherlands
  • Dexia – Belgium
  • Lehman Brothers, IndyMac, Bear Stearns, Washington Mutual and a few small ones – USA

Today Germany’s second biggest commercial mortgage lender “Hypo Real Estate Bank” is on the verge of collapse as per the BBC article Crisis talks to save German bank.

In this situation, everyone is wondering which bank could be the next and are scrambling to figure out whether their bank deposit is safe.So I thought it will be a good idea to list the top banks in 143 countries of the world. The source of this list is the December 2007 edition of “The Banker” Magazine – the best in Global Financial Intelligence. It will answer your questions about which bank is the best in say Tonga, Nigeria, Nepal, Spain, Panama or even Afghanistan.

Criteria for the selection of this “Bank of the Year Awards” are:

  • “Detailed questionnaires provided by banks.
  • Best overall performance in the previous period incorporating performance criteria, qualitative achievements and strategic initiatives.”
