Western European banks in particular have performed poorly. Total Spanish bank brand values are down 2%, for the UK the figure is -3%, Italy -5%, Germany -6% and France -19%.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the brands of four of the five Polish banks that appear in the list have shown strong growth. PKO Bank Polski, Poland&rsquo;s most valuable banking brand has grown 23% to a total of $1.6billion (PLN 6bn). Bank Zachodni WBK has shown the most rapid growth; its brand value is up 49% to $902 million (PLN 3.4bn). mBank has not done as well, dropping by 14%, while Getin-Noble has dropped out of the global top 500 altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wells Fargo remains the world&rsquo;s most valuable bank brand. Following growth of 15%, its total value stands at $34.9bn. Some other US banks have registered respectable brand value growth such as Citi and Chase (both up 7%) while others such as Bank of America (-4%), Goldman Sachs (-7%) and JP Morgan (-15%) are in the doldrums.<\/p>\n<p>JP Morgan chief executive Jamie Dimon recently expressed concerns that overregulated western banks might be superseded by Chinese brands. Brand Finance&rsquo;s research would appear to bear that out. ICBC has moved from 6<sup>th<\/sup> to 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place in the rankings, overtaking HSBC which is now in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> globally. China Construction Bank, which has already overtaken HSBC in terms of market capitalisation, has grown its brand by 39% to overtake Citi, BoA and Chase. Spain&rsquo;s Santander has been pushed to the bottom of the top ten by Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China.<\/p>\n<p>European banks have had an even less successful year than those from the US. Total Spanish bank brand values are down 2%, for the UK the figure is -3%, Italy -5%, Germany -6% and France -19%.<\/p>\n<p>QNB is the most valuable bank from the Middle East or Africa. Its brand value is up 44% to $2.6bn. It exemplifies the rapid growth of many Gulf and developing world bank brands. The top ten fastest growing countries are Morocco (+98%), India (+61%), Nigeria (+52%), UAE (+45%), Colombia (+44%), Qatar (+44%), the Philippines (+43%), Saudi Arabia (+40%), China (+29%) and Bahrain (+29%).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note to Editors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brand values for 2015 are calculated in USD with a valuation date of 1\/1\/15.<\/p>\n<p>The study has been published annually in the February edition of the Financial Times&rsquo; &lsquo;The Banker&rsquo; since 2006.
