NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. topped Bank Director's 2018 Ranking Banking study, which evaluated the strategies of the ten largest U.S. retail banks across ten categories, and based on category rankings and other factors, determined the best bank overall. Bank Director's research group used a proprietary algorithm made up of more than 50 data points deemed relevant to the banking categories studied. Industry experts – investment bankers, attorneys, and advisors – were consulted in each of the categories.

Ranking Banking provides a forward-looking view of the ten financial institutions in the study, focusing less on current profitability and market capitalization than how the banks are positioned for success. Having won five individual categories and ranked near the top in three more, Chase was judged by Bank Director to be the most worthy claimant of the title Best of the Biggest American Banks.

The category winners:

Best Branch Network	Wells Fargo & Co.
Best Board	Citigroup
Best Brand	JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Best Mobile Strategy	JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Best Core Deposit Growth Strategy	BB&T Corp.
Most Innovative	JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Best Credit Card Program	JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Best Small Business Program	Wells Fargo & Co.
Best for Big Business	JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Best Wealth Management Program	Bank of America Corp.
