WASHINGTON -- Regulators shut down four more banks Friday, bringing the 2010 total to 143, topping the 140 shuttered last year and the most in a year since the savings-and-loan crisis two decades ago. ... Banks are falling as soured loans have mounted and the economy has sputtered. The wave of closings points to the lingering power of the recession more than a year after its official end.
Florida, Georgia, Illinois and California have each seen bank failures in the double digits this year. Some communities in those states are still reeling from the financial meltdown that brought an avalanche of bad loans, especially for commercial real estate.
The closures have compounded the problems in areas already straining under high unemployment, foreclosed homes and vacant malls and office buildings.
The pace of failures has accelerated as banks' losses on loans for commercial property and development have mounted. Many companies have shut down in the recession, vacating shopping malls and office buildings financed by the loans. That has brought delinquent loan payments and defaults by commercial developers.
The 2009 total of bank failures had been the highest annual toll since 1992, at the height of the savings and loan crisis. More than 1,000 banks went under in the savings-and-loan crisis of 1987-1992.
Twenty-five banks failed in 2008, the year the financial crisis struck with force; only three succumbed in 2007.
The growing bank failures have sapped billions of dollars out of the FDIC's deposit insurance fund. It fell into the red last year, and its deficit stood at $15.2 billion as of June 30.
The FDIC expects the cost of resolving failed banks to total around $52 billion from 2010 through 2014.
Depositors' money -- insured up to $250,000 per account -- is not at risk, with the FDIC backed by the government. That insurance cap was made permanent in the financial overhaul law enacted in July.

Florida has had the most difficult time with these failures. The next closest state is Illinois with 12 fewer failures at 16.

This year ended with 157 bank closures which was 17 more than failed last year. The number bank failures grew considerably when the financial crisis began in 2008. The number of failures went from 3 in 2007 to 25 in 2008. It's hard for me to remember the days before 2008 when bank failures were rare.
Depositors with large savings have a little less to worry about in terms of bank failures. The FDIC $250K coverage limit became permanent when the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act became law in July. This same coverage limit also applies to NCUA-insured credit unions.
The higher coverage limit was nice, but it didn't make a difference for the vast majority of bank failures this year. In these cases the FDIC was able to find buyers for the failed banks that assumed all regular deposits.
Large Banks That Failed
One thing that changed quite a bit from 2009 was that most of this year's failures were small banks with assets under $1 billion. In 2009 we had large regional banks like Colonial, Guaranty and BankUnited that failed. All had assets over $12 billion. The largest bank that failed in 2010 was Westernbank Puerto Rico which had $11.94 billion in assets. The largest bank based on the mainland that failed was Amcore Bank, N.A. which had $3.8 billion in assets. It's interesting to note that Puerto Rico had both the largest and second largest bank failure of 2010. R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico which had $5.92 billion was the second largest. The three Puerto Rican bank failures cost the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) an estimated $5.28 billion.
Below is a list of all the banks with at least $1 billion in assets that failed in 2010. The list is sorted by size. The total number of these banks is 23. As I was making the list I noticed the vast majority of these failures occurred in the first half of the year. Only 4 banks with at least $1 billion in assets failed in the second half of the year.
1. Westernbank Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, PR - $11.94 billion
2. R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, Hato Rey, PR - $5.92 billion
3. Amcore Bank, N.A., Rockford, IL - $3.8 billion
4. La Jolla Bank, FSB, La Jolla, CA - $3.6 billion
5. Frontier Bank, Everett, WA - $3.50 billion
6. Riverside National Bank of Florida, Fort Pierce, FL - $3.42 billion
7. Midwest Bank and Trust Company, Elmwood Park, IL - $3.17 billion
8. TierOne Bank, Lincoln, NE - $2.8 billion
