Bank Failures Rise to 123 – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 16th, 2009) Writes:
Regulators shut down 2 banks in Florida and 1 in California; U.S. bank failures reach 123 this year.   U.S. regulators on Friday shuttered two more banks in Florida and one in California. Though there are some early signs of economic recovery, bank failures continue unabated. This takes the total number of bank failures to 123, compared to 25 in 2008 and 3 in 2007.  The weak economy continues to weigh heavily on banks with a stream of loan defaults. As the industry has to tolerate bad loans that were made during the credit explosion, the trouble in the banking system goes even deeper, increasing the possibility of more bank failures. However, the regulators are trying to avoid panic by seizing banks slowly. Also, the slow seizing could be a strategy as it is hard to get buyers for so many failed banks.  The failed banks were ...

Regions Joins TAG Program – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 3rd, 2009) Writes:
Regions Financial (RF) will participate in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Program. Under this program, through June 30, 2010, all non-interest-bearing transaction accounts will be fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage under the TAG is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The TAG was established in Oct. 2008 as part of the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Program. The program offered insured institutions the ability to receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage for funds held in qualifying non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. The TAG was intended to facilitate liquidity and stability in view of the economic crisis of late 2008 and 2009. The TAG was scheduled to expire on Dec 31, 2009, but the FDIC has decided to extend the program for an additional six months. While noting evidence ...

U.S. Bank Failures Reach 99 in ‘09 – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (October 19th, 2009) Writes:
U.S. bank failures continue unabated as U.S. regulators on Friday closed down San Joaquin Bank of Bakersfield, CA. This takes the total number of failed federally insured banks to 99 in 2009, compared to 25 in 2008 and 3 in 2007. As of September 29, San Joaquin Bank, a subsidiary of San Joaquin Bancorp, had about $775 million in assets, $631 million in deposits and 5 branches. The bank had not been included in a previous list of 89 institutions that were undercapitalized as of March 31.

As of June 30, San Joaquin Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 4.12% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 6.70%. Though the Tier 1 leverage ratio was above the minimum level of 4% considered adequately capitalized, its total risk-based capital ratio ...
