The Summer Top 40

The Bank Blog has ranks the Top 40 most likely to fail, regulated, deposit taking banks in the United States.

The banking sector has turned the corner, with only seven failures since the previous update. Of these, five failures were in the Spring Top 40. Nonetheless, we would also like to caution our readers not to infer that currently listed banks or those leaving the list are now safe.  Departing banks often return on future lists. Four other distressed and affiliated banks from our list: Metrobank, Archer Bank, Plaza Bank and North Community Bank were combined into a single entity after being purchased by investment bankers.

Only returning banks from the prior list are listed in bold and newly failed banks are listed in italics.
