About BankBranches

What this is

A free, browseable view of the FDIC's Summary of Deposits — the official as-of-June-30 snapshot every FDIC-insured institution files annually. The data shows every physical bank branch in the United States: where it sits, how much it holds in deposits, and what institution runs it.

Data source and freshness

Source: FDIC SOD API at banks.data.fdic.gov, filtered to YEAR=2025 (the latest published snapshot as of mid-2026). Each year's data covers branches and deposits as they stood on June 30. The 2026 snapshot will be released in early 2027 and is not yet incorporated here.

What's counted

Only FDIC-insured depository institutions: commercial banks, savings banks, savings associations. Credit unions are regulated by NCUA and not included. Online-only banks typically report a single HQ branch even if they have millions of customers; this dataset reflects physical branch presence, not customer count.

Quirks worth knowing

Money-center deposits. A single branch in lower Manhattan can hold tens of billions in deposits — most of it from corporate accounts, not local retail. When you see a county's "average deposits per branch" wildly skew upward, this is usually the cause.

FDIC cert vs brand. Several consumer brand names may roll up to one FDIC certificate — what looks like one institution might operate under multiple brands locally.

Branch service types. SOD includes drive-throughs, retail offices, and limited-service facilities — some of which a customer would never recognize as a "branch."
