Regulators close banks in Puerto Rico, Mich., Mo.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ASHINGTON — Regulators on Friday shut down three banks in Puerto Rico, two in Missouri and one in Michigan, bringing the number of U.S. bank failures this year to 63.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over the banks: Westernbank Puerto Rico, based in Mayaguez, with about $11.9 billion in assets; R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, based in Hato Rey, with around $5.9 billion in assets; and San Juan-based Eurobank, with $2.5 billion in assets.

The FDIC also seized CF Bancorp, based in Port Huron, Mich., with about $1.6 billion in assets; Champion Bank, of Creve Coeur, Mo., with $187.3 million in assets; and BC National Banks, of Butler, Mo., with $67.2 million in assets.

Banco Popular de Puerto Rico agreed to acquire Westernbank's deposits and about $9.4 billion of its assets. The FDIC will keep the remainder for eventual sale. Scotiabank de Puerto Rico agreed to buy all the assets and deposits of R-G Premier Bank. And Oriental Bank and Trust is acquiring all the assets and deposits of Eurobank. The three healthier acquiring banks are based in San Juan, the Puerto Rican capital.

The three failed banks together held more than one-fifth of the total bank assets on the U.S. Caribbean territory. They had struggled to stay afloat during Puerto Rico's grinding, four-year recession.

It was Puerto Rico's largest bank consolidation in more than two decades as well as one of the FDIC's biggest resolutions of failed banks in the financial crisis that struck in fall 2008.

In addition, the FDIC and Banco Popular agreed to share losses on $8.8 billion of Westernbank's loans and other assets. The agency and Scotiabank agreed to share losses on $5.4 billion of R-G Premier Bank's assets, while the FDIC and Oriental Bank and Trust are to share losses on $1.6 billion of Eurobank's assets.

The failure of Westernbank is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $3.3 billion; the failure of R-G Premier Bank is expected to cost $1.2 billion; that of Eurobank, $743.9 million.

First Michigan Bank, based in Troy, Mich., agreed to assume the deposits and about $870 million of the assets of CF Bancorp. BankLiberty, based in Liberty, Mo., agreed to acquire the deposits and $152.6 million of the assets of Champion Bank, while Community First Bank of Butler, Mo., is acquiring all the assets and deposits of BC National Banks.

In addition, the FDIC and First Michigan Bank agreed to share losses on $808.1 million of CF Bancorp's assets. The agency and BankLiberty agreed to share losses on $113.5 million of Champion Bank's assets, while the FDIC and Community First Bank are to share losses on $37.9 million of BC National Banks' assets.

The failure of CF Bancorp is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $615.3 million; the failure of Champion Bank is expected to cost $52.7 million; that of BC National Banks, $11.4 million.

So we had about $25.6 Billion of bank failures last week. Leading up to that we had $6+ Billion of failures each of the previous 2 weeks. So we've had almost $39 Billion of bank failures in the last month which is the equivalent of a Bear Sterns failure. Yet there is nothing about this in the news. Consider how much the Bear Sterns failure was in the news.

I'd say that this should be big news and they are slipping it under the shadow of all the other big news occurring now.

As usual, nothing to be found in the news on this. Had no idea 4 more banks went down.

[FloridaGirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')h, that's the assets of the banks that failed, not the cost to the FDIC. Assets are not a good measure to determine the size of a failure. Next time before a bank failes they should give me the assets, so the failure is not so big.
