US banks occupy a unique position in the economy: they earn the spread between what they pay depositors and what they charge borrowers, a business model directly tied to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions. The Dodd-Frank Act, passed in 2010 following the global financial crisis, fundamentally restructured US banking regulation — requiring larger capital buffers, stress testing, and restrictions on proprietary trading, making US banks significantly more resilient than they were prior to 2008. The financial sector is also home to some of the world's most profitable businesses: payment networks like Visa and Mastercard process trillions of dollars annually at margins that exceed most technology companies.
