3 retirement plans with 100 or more participants file Form 5500 under U.S. Bancorp's employer identification number (Minneapolis, Minnesota). Their latest filings total 204,384 participant records and $20.8B in net assets.
The largest is U.S. Bank 401(k) Savings Plan, an ESOP with a 401(k) feature with 85,667 participants. A person can be counted in more than one plan, so the participant total is a count of records rather than of people.

Combined net assets moved from $4.92B in 2009 to $13.0B in 2025 (up 164%). Plan mergers and spin-offs show up here as steps in the series.
