Safest vs Riskiest: I Ranked America’s Top 20 Banks (Surprising Results)

Today I am doing something I have never done before. I am ranking America’s twenty largest banks from safest to riskiest using the exact same methodology that Warren Buffett applies when evaluating financial institutions. No opinions. No speculation. No bias toward any particular bank. Just cold, hard data pulled directly from FDIC filings, Federal Reserve reports, and regulatory disclosures that anyone can access but almost nobody bothers to read. And I promise you, the results are going to surprise you. Banks that you assumed were rock solid will appear in places you never expected. Institutions that get praised on financial television will reveal dangerous vulnerabilities. The gap between the safest and riskiest banks is so enormous that it will fundamentally change how you think about where your money belongs.

I spent three weeks analyzing every data point that matters for bank safety. Capital ratios. Commercial real estate exposure. Unrealized securities losses. Deposit stability. Texas Ratios. Management quality. Regulatory standing. G-SIB designation. I combined these seven factors into a comprehensive safety score from zero to one hundred for each bank. Higher scores indicate greater safety. Lower scores indicate greater risk. The complete rankings from position one to position twenty are revealed in this video.

Some rankings will confirm what you already suspected. JPMorgan Chase dominates at number one. Bank of America and Wells Fargo secure the top tier. But other rankings will shock you completely. Major banks you assumed were safe appear in the danger zone. Institutions with household names reveal Texas Ratios approaching failure thresholds. Warren Buffett would never keep money at the bottom five banks on this list. After watching this video, neither will you.
