The Winter 2013 Top 40

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.  Bank failures continued to decline this quarter, to the lowest levels since the start of the crisis. In all, only five banks from the previous list failed from six the previous quarter. 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 eight other banks leaving the list, seven of them are still among the top two percent in terms of risk. The other, Mile High Banks, was acquired.

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.
