Big Bank Style

Many massive banks have websites that pair stiff typefaces with carefully curated stock imagery to create a fully forgetful landing page. Their logos are minimalist, and they all have the same colors. Each of these websites is designed to steer widely of any risks, and focus on functionality.

US Bank

HSBC

Bank of America

BMO

State Bank Style

Regional U.S. banks adopt a more interesting approach. With text floating over an original photo, and more varied typefaces, logos, and colors, these websites feel well-suited to the expectations of a smaller populace.

UnionBank (Vermont & New Hampshire)

Bank of Idaho

Truist Bank (Eastern Seaboard)

Crypto Bank/Behance Style

These trendy websites make use of nifty gradients, 3D models, and rounded corners to proclaim themselves as the next big thing. You'll find many Laurenz Brunner-esque fonts similar to Akkurat and Circular.

Colors

The warm, aquatic blue represents stability. The golden, yolky yellow represents wealth. Together, they’re a picture of a warm beach sunset with a cold drink in hand.
