To obtain the financial information of the research population, including 31 banks and 2 financial&credit institutions, the balance sheet and the statement of auditorchr('39')s profit and loss related to the end of 2014 have been used. For analyzing information and ranking of banks, the combination of the fuzzy hierarchy process analysis method (FAHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has been used. In the first stage, the importance of each of the financial indicators was obtained using Fuzzy AHP and Take advantage of MATLAB software. In the next step, using the TOPSIS method and applying SmartTopsis software, the banks were ranked.
