The top 100 banks on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube ranked by their overall social media activity during the second quarter of 2014.

POWER 100 MAIN MENU || FAQ || ADD YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION

The Financial Brand enables Power 100 users to rank banks and credit unions by their overall level of social media activity. These rankings are based on a score calculated in the following manner:

  • 1 point for every 1,500 Facebook ‘Likes’
  • 1 point for [Facebook ‘Talking About’] x [Facebook Engagement Rate] ÷ 20
  • 1 point for every 500 Twitter followers
  • 1 point for every 1,000 tweets sent
  • 1 point for every 15,000 YouTube video views
  • 1 point for every 50 YouTube subscribers

While the system is subjective, it has been carefully weighted (1) to adjust for the relative value of each social channel, (2) based on the range and averages for the financial industry, and (3) to adjust for the ease/difficulty of growing an audience in each channel.
