California financial institutions also face an invasion by the Japanese, who control four of the state's ten largest banks, with combined assets of $47 billion. Pinola has said that in the future, "banking services will ultimately be delivered by only a handful of very strong, nationwide financial firms." His creed, in short, is survival of the fittest.
