Last updated by Jai on April 14, 2019

Forbes in partnership with market research firm Statista has published list of World’s Best Banks.

Instead of gauging the balance sheets and P&L statements, Statista surveyed more than 40,000 customers around the globe for their opinions on their current and former banking relationships.

Banks were rated on general satisfaction and key attributes like trust, fees, digital services and financial advice.

Top Five Ranks have been bagged by Private Banks, topped by HDFC Bank followed by ICICI Bank. Syndicate Bank is the best amongst Public Sector Banks at No.5, followed by Punjab National Bank at No.6. State Bank of India did not find a place in top 10 banks of India and is placed at No.11.
