Top Banks in the World by Bankersalamanac.com
See how Sovereign Trust compares with the top 50 banks of the world
 
The figures you see below are reprinted here for comparison only, to show how Sovereign Trust stacks up with the top 50 international banks. Surprisingly, you will see that ST can easily stand toe to toe with these banks in terms of assets. For example, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc , Edinburgh , UK according to the list is the top bank with a capital base of $14.355 billion USD. ST with a capital base of more than $87 billion USD in gold reserves far exceeds the top bank on the list. It is not clear how the Bankers Almanac based their report, ST assumes the figures are based on "cash" or liquid assets. As a private Sovereign bank, ST is not listed as a bank with the Bankers Almanac and therefore the almanac cannot publish accurate information about ST and its assets. ST as a private bank does not provide private information to the public to protect the privacy of our clients. ST is not in competition with these banks. With the assets held by ST we can do everything these international banks can do plus a whole lot more. None of these banks can be considered debt-free and therefore none of them can do what ST can do such as provide interest-free financing to major infrastructure projects for big corporations and governments. Our assets are not 100% liquid because liquid assets evaporate. For example the liquid assets held by these banks will always decrease in value because these assets are all created out of nothing especially the assets held by Federal Reserve banks in North America. Unlike gold which is God-made, all such liquid assets such as cash and computer monies, all man-made assets that are created by the banks out of thin air will go back to nothing again. ST's assets are solid, gold and other precious metals are measured by weight, quantity and quality as they are not man-made. The values of these assets remain constant, their value will never depreciate over time. ST's assets are not "money" but these assets can be turned into "money" just like any God-made commodity. Our assets have their own permanent intrinsic values.
 
Our biggest asset is our people. Presently, there are now more than 10,000 ST members and this number is steadily increasing. As the mainstream banks continue to disappear due to lack of capital and bankruptcy, more and more people are discovering ST as the only viable alternative. These ST members are the major source of our liquid assets. The average ST member has a deposit of at least $1,000,000.00 which sums up to an average "cash" value of more than $10,000,000,000.00 in liquid assets available to ST at any given time. No bank in the United States can even come to close to what we have. No wonder they are jealous about us. 
 
ST does not have the same amount of "cash" or cash equivalents (credits). Why? This is because liquid assets are temporary, these assets do not hold their values. Just look at the price of gas and other God-made assets that seem to always go up in value. These assets do not really go up in value at all. It is just an illusion because it is the "money" that always decreases in value, not the God-made things. A gallon of gas will always be a gallon of gas forever. But the currency (or money) we use to trade or buy the commodity with always go down in value. So these days, the price of gold is about $1,000 per ounce; tomorrow the same ounce of gold could be be $2,000 per ounce. Rising prices? Not really. No such thing as rising prices. It is just money turning into toilet paper, whether its dollars, euros, pesos, or yen, they will all go back to nothing. Here today, gone tomorrow. Not ST. We will be here when everyone is gone.
 
So if you hear about some of these banks bad-mouthing ST, it is because ST is able to do what they can do. They don't want their clients to know about ST. ST is the bad bank, the renegade bank, the unlicensed bank, the unregistered bank, etc., etc. Some government agencies even published "Consumer Alerts" about ST. Big deal, what does that do? ST does not even deal with consumers. ST only deals with private sophisticated investors, not "consumers." ST is always ready, willing and able to show anyone and put our money where our mouth is.
