Global Finance Names The World’S 50 Safest Banks 2011

It's interesting to see that only 6 of the 50 banks are based in the U.S.

• JPMorgan Chase
• Wells Fargo
• U.S. Bancorp
• Northern Trust Corporation
• CoBank, ACB
• BNY Mellon

I didn't know about CoBank. Here's what I found at Wikipedia about this bank:

CoBank, ACB, a part of the United States Farm Credit System, is an agricultural credit bank serving cooperatives in the agricultural sector. It lends money to farm credit associations, agricultural businesses, and rural utilities, who collectively own CoBank.
