According to a report in July by Toxic Bonds, a global group of civil society organisations, three US banks, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America led the way in terms of underwriting fees for bonds for fossil fuels from 2016 to 2022. They were followed by British bank Barclays in fourth place.
