Just like BofA is a popular abbreviation that people use for the popular Bank of America, AMEX is used for the American Express Company, a corporation that offers financial services to millions of people worldwide. AMEX was founded back in 1850 which is 170 years ago, and it’s a very impressive number considering that some things remain unchanged from that time.
AMEX is still up and running, even better than it was in the past, and the official headquarters are based in New York. AMEX is founded by three people, William Fargo, Henry Wells, and John Warren Butterfield. Currently, they are present in India and they offer their services to all citizens from that country.

Citibank is founded even earlier than AMEX and BofA, 207 years ago to be more precise, on June 16th, 1812. It was meant to become the official bank of New York, and it did become the first national one a few years later. Currently, the CEO of Citibank is Michael Corbat. The company offers all sorts of products and services, such as credit cards, personal loans, lines of credit, mortgages, and commercial loans as well. They are present in India, and their services are available to all citizens of that country.

4. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank
When we talk about large banks and globally-known financial services, we cannot exclude J.P Morgan Chase & Co. Currently, it is ranked as the sixth-largest banking corporation in the world when all assets are taken into consideration. Approximately, the value of all their assets is more than two and a half-trillion dollars, making it the largest bank in the United States.
It was founded on September 1, 1799, which is 220 years ago, and it’s still up and running, battling it out with the rest of the titans, four of them being from China and one from Japan. The founder of it is Aaron Burr, and the CEO is Daniel E. Pinto along with Jamie Dimon. All of their services are available in India, just like the rest of the names we mentioned on our list.
J.P. Morgan Chase Corp received numerous investments throughout the past few decades, and judging by their revenue, they were all used correctly. As of 2019, the revenue is 115,627 billion dollars. There are more than two hundred and fifty thousand employees measured as of late 2019, meaning that the number can be even higher right now.

Wells Fargo offers insurance, banking, and financial services, and it has more than thirteen thousand ATMs spread out worldwide, and that number is just from 2018, meaning that it can be potentially higher at the moment. They have more than eight thousand locations as well, and their services are available in India. Back in 2018, they had approximately seventy million customers.
Back in 2015, Wells Fargo received the title of being the seventh most respected company in the entire world, and the 22nd most admired on as well. It’s pretty safe to say that Wells Fargo is an AAA-rated bank.
