In the United States there is presently only one Public Bank, the Bank of North Dakota (BND). Established in 1919, in the last 10 years it has outperformed Wall Street banks with a Return On Equity in excess of 18% about 70% higher than those at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan. It has never had a bank failure, and has provided the residents of North Dakota affordable financing for businesses and student loans, and is always prepared to step up in times of natural catastrophes.
