Don't have a favorite as I have so many accounts with different banks. In end you just end up disappointed if you put faith any single bank.

I don't touch the dollar at all as I have no use for it. I am currently in euros but moving out of it into hard assets at some point.

I prefer stable places like Jersey and Switzerland. I prefer them as they are stable.

According to Global Finance magazine those are the 2021 top banks worldwide.

Of those i'd say i would deal with Swiss ZKB, Singaporean DBS and Canadian RBC and TD.

In particular ZKB is one of the five banks worldwide that has all AAA ratings, it is wholly owned by the Canton of Zurich and is it safe as it gets.
