About U.S. Bancorp
U.S. Bancorp, based in Minneapolis, is the parent company of U.S. Bank, one of the largest US banks. It serves consumers, businesses and institutions, and it stands out for its large payments business (credit cards, merchant processing through Elavon, and corporate cards) and its trust and custody services.
How it makes money
Its biggest source of income is net interest income, the gap between what it earns on loans and securities and what it pays on deposits. That made up roughly 56% of revenue in Q3 2026. The other roughly 44% comes from fees: card and merchant payments, trust and investment management, mortgage banking, treasury management and capital markets. Capital markets fees grew after the bank bought the investment firm BTIG. Quarterly revenue is approximately $8 billion.
