Most Americans have bank accounts of one type or another. In fact, according to the latest FDIC data, nearly 93 percent of Americans have access to banking services. And a large chunk of those people don’t just stick with one bank.
A recent GoBankingRates.com survey found that roughly half of Americans have accounts at more than one bank, with 28 percent of respondents saying they hold accounts at two banking institutions, and 22 percent saying three or more.
So which banks do people like the most? YouGov.com surveyed more than 6,000 consumers to learn which banks were viewed most positively. Here are the nine most popular consumer banks in the United States, according to that survey.
