2011-Q3 Bank Failures. The third quarter of 2011 had a total of 26 bank failures, with assets totaling $11.7 billion and at a cost to the FDIC of $2.4 billion. For the quarter, Florida, with six bank failures, continue to lead with the highest number of bank failures, followed by Georgia with 5, Colorado and Illinois with three each, and Virginia with two.

2011-Q2 Bank Failures. The second quarter of 2011 had a total of 22 bank failures, with assets totaling $9.7 billion and at a cost to the FDIC of $1.97 billion. Of the 22 bank failures, eight were in Georgia, four in Florida, two each in Washington State and Alabama, and one each in South Carolina, Michigan, Mississippi, Minnesota, Nevada and Illinois. The largest bank failure during the quarter was Superior Bank of Birmingham, Alabama with assets totaling $3.0 billion and an estimated loss to the FDIC of $259.6 billion. For this bank failure, Superior Bank, N.A., a newly-chartered bank subsidiary of Community Bancorp LLC, Houston, Texas, was created to assume all of the deposits of Superior Bank. The new bank and the FDIC entered into a loss-share transaction on $1.84 billion of Superior Bank's assets.

The largest of these bank failures were First Community Bank in New Mexico with assets of $2.31 billion, and United Western Bank in Denver, Colorado with assets of $2.05 billion.

These bank failures are generally due to inadequate capital and mounting loan losses as defaults on commercial loans and residential mortgage loans continue to impair the liquidity and capital reserves of these less capitalized regional banks.

2007 - 2011 Bank Failures. Since the start of the financial crisis in 2007, there have been 417 bank failures with assets totaling a staggering $679.6 billion, deposits totaling $487.1 billion, and at an estimated cost to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of $81.8 billion.

Bank Failure Cause . The collapse of the housing market, and the increase in mortgage delinquencies and home foreclosures, coupled with the credit crisis have all led to a dramatic increase in bank failures over the past few years. These bank failures are due to inadequate capital and mounting loan losses primarily from residential mortgages and, more recently, from commercial loans. The number of FDIC Problem Banks and financial institutions on the FDIC’s watch List stands at 844 at the end of September 2011.

When banks fail, the FDIC is appointed as receiver. Depositors are protected up to the FDIC insurance limit, currently at $250,000. In most cases, the FDIC arranges for the branches and insured deposits to be transferred to another well capitalized bank, and banking services for the failed bank's customers generally continue uninterrupted.

Below is a complete list of FDIC bank failures and analysis compiled from the FDIC's failed bank list data.
