No New Failures

As of 5:20 pm EST there have been no failures. However, please take a look at our brand new rankings below that were also posted today. The Bank Blog will be updated throughout the evening as new information arrives.

The Fall Top 40 Rankings

The Bank Blog has ranks the Top 40 most likely to fail, regulated, deposit taking banks in the United States.  As all regulated banks are now filing under the same reporting format the 2012 ranking have all included savings banks.

The Bank Blog continues to demonstrate well its ability to predict bank distress.  Overall, there were less failure in the last quarter. But of the 40 banks listed, six did fail. Several problem banks all have the same parent, Capital Bancorp Limited. The Bank Blog has decided to highlight those banks. We would also like to caution our readers not to infer that those banks leaving the list are now safe.  Of the eleven other banks leaving the list, seven of them are still among the top two percent in terms of risk. The Bank of Naples was acquired and First Carolina bank was restructured.

Returning banks from the prior list are listed in bold and newly failed banks are listed in italics. Capital Bancorp Limited banks are listed with an asterisk before their name.
