You think most people don’t know who American Express (17th) are?

Citizens Financial Group (16th) is also quite large but I would be shocked if someone didn’t know of Amex rather than did.

I’m not surprised to see that American Express is a large bank, but if you’d asked me to produce a list of large banks, I wouldn’t have included any credit card companies.

Of course, a credit card company having a bank attached is not very weird at all. I mean a bank sprouted out of GE that one time, which seems much less on-mission.

Most know of them, but would have absolutely no idea how large they are.

Off the top of my head, I guess the largest are:

* JPMorgan

* Goldman

* Wells Fargo

* BoA
