Fifth Third Named United States’ Best Bank by Euromoney
Recognition highlights Fifth Third’s transformation into the ninth-largest U.S. bank, with greater scale, diversified earnings and expanded reach in high-growth markets
Fifth Third (NYSE: FITB) has been named the United States’ Best Bank in the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, a global program recognizing banks for performance, innovation, client service and long-term impact.
The recognition reflects Fifth Third’s transformation into a stronger, more diversified franchise. Following its merger with Comerica, Fifth Third is now the ninth-largest US bank, with greater scale, expanded growth opportunities, and additional capacity to invest in products, technology and markets that can drive long-term value for customers, communities and shareholders.
"Recognition like this is the product of a decade of deliberate choices about where and how we compete," said Bryan Preston, chief financial officer at Fifth Third. "It is earned through execution, not scale alone. Those choices built a more diversified business model, a resilient balance sheet and an expanded presence in high-growth markets. Together, they give us the capacity to keep investing for customers, communities and shareholders through the cycle. The franchise we are today is not the one we were a decade ago, nor even the one we were a year ago. While our scale is new, the discipline underlying it is not."
