Each institution counts once, in one country: the BIC country when it holds a BIC, otherwise the country of the register that lists it. Licences in other countries are shown on its page.
About the G-SIB list
The FSB publishes the list each November, from an assessment by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) of each bank’s size, interconnectedness, substitutability, complexity and cross-border activity.
Each G-SIB is allocated to a bucket that sets its higher loss-absorbency requirement: from 1.0% of risk-weighted assets in bucket 1 to 3.5% in bucket 5.
The designation applies to the group. The FSB names the group, not its subsidiaries.
Method and limits
An institution counts in a G-SIB group when its LEI is the listed entity’s, the group’s main operating bank’s, or a subsidiary’s that GLEIF records under the group’s ultimate parent. Matching is by LEI only, never by name.
Institutions without an LEI mapped to their BIC are not counted. A group’s count is therefore a floor.
Institutions marked inactive are not counted here: another 10 carry the same attribute.
Sources & method
G-SIB membership is matched by LEI, through GLEIF parent records. Institutions without an LEI mapped are not counted.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a counterparty
A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. Ask what it covers for the counterparties you deal with. Read about the FinCrime Index.
