Find banks, credit unions and fintech decision makers by assets and charter

Start from the regulator’s own data rather than a contact database. In the United States the FDIC publishes total assets, total deposits, office counts, charter class and primary federal regulator for every insured bank and savings institution through BankFind, and the NCUA publishes assets, shares and member counts for every federally insured credit union in its quarterly call report data. Causo reads those records institution by institution, so a search such as “credit unions with $500m to $2bn in assets” is answered from the reported figure rather than from a headcount proxy.

Because assets, deposits, charter class and regulatory permissions are not fields those databases hold. They are assembled from professional profiles, company pages and web signals, which yield headcount, industry, location and a revenue estimate. A bank’s balance sheet is filed with the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, a credit union’s with the NCUA, and a payment firm’s permissions sit on the FCA Financial Services Register or in FinCEN money services business registration. The institution is usually in the database; the criterion you want to sort it by is not.

BankFind is the FDIC’s public record of every insured bank and savings institution in the United States. Per institution it publishes total assets, total deposits, the number of offices, charter class, the primary federal regulator, the date the institution was established and its holding company, and it exposes branch locations, quarterly financials and structure change events such as mergers and charter conversions as separate data sets. That is why a question about balance sheet size, branch count or charter has a filed answer rather than an estimated one.

Every federally insured credit union files a quarterly call report with the NCUA, and the NCUA publishes that data alongside a locator covering branch addresses. There were 4,250 federally insured credit unions in the first quarter of 2026, holding $2.48tn in assets for 145.8 million members, so the population is finite and fully documented. A list by state or by asset band can be built from the filings themselves rather than bought, which also means it can be rebuilt the quarter it changes.

Look at the register, not the website. In the United States, money transmitters and other money services businesses register with FinCEN, whose registrant list is public, and are separately licensed state by state. In the United Kingdom the FCA Financial Services Register records whether a firm is an authorised electronic money institution, an authorised payment institution, a small payment institution or a bank, and lists the specific permissions each one holds. Those distinctions decide what a firm may do with customer money, and none of them appear in a contact database.

Yes. The sources differ by country, so Causo uses the local equivalents: the FCA Financial Services Register and the Bank of England’s PRA register in the United Kingdom, the Central Bank of Ireland register in Ireland, BaFin in Germany, De Nederlandsche Bank in the Netherlands, and above them the EBA credit institutions register and the ECB list of supervised entities across the euro area, with APRA in Australia and OSFI in Canada. Each publishes the authorised institutions, their permissions and, in most cases, the size of their balance sheet.

It depends on size and on what is being sold. At a community bank or credit union under roughly $1bn in assets it is usually the chief operating officer or the president, with the chief financial officer signing off, and technology decisions often sit with the same person. Above that the roles separate into a chief information officer or chief technology officer, a chief digital officer, and a BSA or AML officer who owns anything touching financial crime. At a fintech it is typically the founder or the head of compliance until a chief risk officer is hired. Causo surfaces the role alongside the institution so you can tell which of those you are looking at.
