The 2015 ranking of top North American lenders presents a picture of growing stability. Almost all of the top ranking banks in the region have continued to expand their Tier 1 capital, with the only exceptions being three Canadian lenders: Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and Desjardins Group.

JPMorgan Chase tops the regional ranking for the third consecutive year, with $186.63bn of core capital. It is followed by Bank of America and Citigroup, which rank second and third, respectively. There is no movement from last year's ranking in the first seven places in the ranking, with the largest institution to gain ground being US Bancorp, which replaces PNC Financial in eighth place. Further down the table, Ally Financial and State Street both gain one position. They move into 18th and 19th position, respectively, and push CIBC down two places to 20th.
