By Louis-Marie Giudicenti. Published . Updated . Data read .

There are 107,280 bank and credit union branches on Google Maps in the US as of November 9, 2026, one for every 3,170 residents. They belong to 4,238 FDIC-insured banks and 4,214 federally insured credit unions (June 30, 2026): those count companies, and Google Maps lists each of their branches.

Our count next to the Census and the official figures

Each source counts something different: Google Maps lists places, the Census counts businesses with or without paid staff, and federations count their members or their own definition. Here they are side by side.

Why the numbers differ

  • Branches, not banks. The FDIC and the NCUA count banks and credit unions as companies. County Business Patterns, like Google Maps, counts their establishments: 82,989 commercial bank and 19,605 credit union establishments with paid employees in 2023.
  • Offices. The FDIC’s Summary of Deposits lists 75,859 offices of insured banks on June 30, 2026, US territories included, against 88,007 bank listings on Google Maps: a branch can have more than one listing.
  • Cash machines. ATMs are not counted. Primavera leaves service points (cash machines, lockers, charging stations) out of every count.
  • Dates. The FDIC and NCUA figures describe June 30, 2026, and County Business Patterns 2023; this count, November 9, 2026.

How the 107,280 split

Banks account for 88,007 listings and credit unions for 19,284. Credit union branches show an email address more often than bank branches: 39.0% against 22.4%.

Note: Each listing counts in the kind of its main Google category; a listing filed under both counts once in the total, so the parts can add up to slightly more. Primavera, snapshot 2026-11, read November 9, 2026.

Which state has the most banks?

Texas, with 8,533 listings, ahead of California (7,645). Per resident, North Dakota has the most: 7.7 per 10,000 residents, against 3.2 for the US.

Bank branches are rated harshly: 51.0% of rated branches are under 4 stars, against 17.4% of all US businesses, for an average of 3.85 stars.

Note: Builders, links and tags are shares of the websites Primavera could read (87,327 for banks), social pages and booking platforms excluded. The Meta figure is an upper bound: Meta’s like buttons and chat load the same script as its ad pixel. Sites made with GoDaddy, Weebly or Duda are counted under none of these builders. Ratings: listings with at least one review.

Which chains have the most banks?

52.6% of bank and credit union listings belong to a network our rules recognize, against 7.9% of all US businesses. Chase has the most branches listed: 5,184.

What these figures don’t say

  • How many banks there are as companies: the FDIC and the NCUA count those.
  • Deposits, assets or customers. A small-town branch and a downtown flagship count once each.
  • ATMs, left out as service points, and online banks with no branch.
  • How many companies own these places. A company with several locations counts once per listing.
