Banks Ratings' goal is to range banks worldwide and provide analysis of the rates. This rating is based on votes from all sorts of users. If you have ever banked with any bank from this list, please rate it. You may rate several banks, but only once a day. First day of every month all rating results are brought to naught. Starting a monthly rating from zero allows to identify a monthly winner and thus more objectively display the voters' oppinion. We rate banks by the actual number of votes. Monthly voting statistics can be found here.
