I would like to put some money in the bank . It will be a long time saving ( 20 years ) . Because it's a long time I'm looking for some bank that is secure for longer time .

I don't know witch criteria to take . Bank with biggest assets or revenue ?

Is there any list of world banks by assets and/or revenue ?

Wow, 20 years, you ought to put it in an IRA or Roth IRA then. Ask an financial advisor about it.

I... don't know how to even answer this.

1. Cryonically being frozen does NOT guarantee you will survive it.. . at all.

2. Let's assume that they actually devise a way to make it work... they can thaw you and bring you back to life.. . that technology is a few centuries away, in which case, no bank will ever guarantee your financial situation for hundreds of years.

I guess... you could use the money to start a company, hire people to run that company, and just let the company run while you're in your state of being frozen...

If I open a company after my death someone will inhered it and I don't want that . With bankbook its different . My account will be still active after my death and it will wait for me .

Actually, your account will be seized by your inheritance or the government will take it.

I asked in my bank in croatia and I got the answer that in the case that no one of my relatives apply for my saving after my death my account will run forever .

I have an agreement with my relatives that they won't do that . But lets go back to primal question . List of biggest banks ?
