The library no longer subscribes to the Bankscope database. However, you can use the ORBIS database instead to find financial data on banks. Orbis lists thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide and provides balance sheets, income statements, ratios and ownerhip information. You can compare companies and download data into spreadsheets, graphs and charts.
Find Orbis and login at: http://catalogue.londonmet.ac.uk/record=b1562651~S1
