American Banker

American Banker is a trade publication covering the U.S. banking and financial services industry, owned by Arizent and ultimately controlled by the private equity firm Observer Capital. Its audience is senior banking and financial services executives, and its editorial focus is regulation, technology, and market developments rather than partisan politics. Under the Trump administration's second term, its coverage has reported on deregulation and banking policy with a mix of industry-positive framing and occasional critical analysis of specific policy conflicts.
