Ranking by Profit, and by Market Capitalization

BTW, one Japanese bank gained its status by a big merger of 2 banks in 2004. I forgot exactly which one.

You can see how big the CC biz contributed to Citi's profit as it earned twice as much as HSBC did (No.3 in both Profitability and Market Cap).

So Citi is No.1 in 3 cat. out of 4 per Wiki, but HSBC is among the top 3.

Top ten bank holding companies in the world ranked by profit
Figures in U.S. dollars, and as 2003

Citigroup — 21 billion
Bank of America — 15 billion
HSBC — 10 billion
Royal Bank of Scotland — 8 billion
Wells Fargo — 7 billion
JP Morgan Chase — 7 billion
UBS AG — 6 billion
Wachovia — 5 billion
Morgan Stanley — 5 billion
Merrill Lynch — 4 billion
[edit]
Top ten banks in the world ranked by market capitalisation
