Researching Banks' Balance Sheets


American Financial Directory is a good print reference source that provides information on individual banks' outstanding loans, deposits, and other information.

It doesn't seem to have detailed information on the big boys - just smaller banks - so Mergent is my preferred database for getting that kind of information. You know - Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Capital One, etc...Check their financials.

This is a cool website from the government that gives you up-to-minute financial information for your bank.
