FDIC Problem Bank List

The number of financial institutions on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) “Problem List” declined in 2011 from its peak in 2010. And it has declined further thus far in 2012.  Despite this, the number of troubled banks is still very high from a historical perspective. Combined with the declining number of institutions overall, the percentage of total institutions identified as problematic remains near the record high at 10.57%.
