A Chinese bank has been ranked as the world's largest, overtaking two American finance giants.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) leapfrogged the US banks to top the global ranking of banks with the most capital.
The shock ranking has highlighted the growing size and importance of Chinese lenders.
ICBC topped The Banker magazine's annual list of the top 1,000 banks for the first time.
The magazine relegated the Bank of America to third from first, while JPMorgan Chase remained in second slot.
China's ICBC was ranked third last year by the magazine, which is owned by the Financial Times.
The rankings are based on Tier 1 capital as a measure of a bank's ability to lend on a large scale and endure shocks.
ICBC has for some time ranked as the top bank by market value.
Britain's HSBC, which gains much of its earnings from Asia, was fourth in The Banker's list, with China Construction Bank (CCB) ranked fifth.
China had four banks in the top 10 and 96 in the Top 1,000.
Its top four lenders - ICBC, CCB, Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China - filled the top positions for profit in 2012.
ICBC's $49bn (£32bn) profit put it top of the profit table for a third successive year.
Total profit for the biggest 1,000 banks is now back close to levels achieved before the 2007/09 financial crisis, but the regional share has shifted significantly,
The Banker said that in 2006 European banks accounted for 46% of global profits and 58% of assets, but last year that had dropped to less than 2% of profits and 43% of assets.
Asia's banks have lifted their share of profits to 56% from 19% in the same time and increased their share of assets to 35% from 22%.
Spain's Bankia posted the biggest loss last year at £21bn , with six of the 10 biggest losses coming from Spain, the magazine estimated.
