Australia's big four banks have all been ranked among the largest 100 companies in the world.
Commonwealth Bank leads a group of 35 Australian firms ranked among Forbes' annual Global 2000 list, which calculates the world's 2,000 largest public companies by looking at sales, profits, assets and market value.
The list is again headed by a trio of Chinese banks - Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China.
CBA is the top-ranked Australian company at No.58 with a market value of $US99.2 billion ($A137.71 billion).
Rivals Westpac (72), ANZ (84) and National Australia Bank (88) are also in the top 100, with telco giant Telstra the next highest-ranked Australian company at No.262.
Wesfarmers (264) and supermarket rival Woolworths (760) both feature, as do insurance giants Suncorp (530), QBE (571) and IAG (891).
At No.455, BHP Billiton is the highest-placed of Australia's resource companies, with Rio Tinto classified as a UK company courtesy of its dual listing on the London Stock Exchange.
