2009 Bank Failures

[grandma]

Arvest Bank of Fayetteville, Arkansas, will assume all of the deposits of SolutionsBank of Overland Park, Kansas, according to the FDIC. The six branches of SolutionsBank will reopen on Saturday as branches of Arvest Bank.

I read this in our paper this week - My Bank! So what does this mean to me? This is the first venture of Arvest into KS. ...mostly just around here. Bankrate.com has it listed as Star 3 -`performing.'
The negatives:
INSTITUTION SUMMARY
This bank has been rated generally satisfactory.
Negative factors that impacted that rating :
- Asset Quality - Capitalization
Positive factors that impacted that rating :
- Liquidity
As noted previously, early warning indicators, possibly requiring specific investigation include:-Overhead -Commercial Real Estate and --Construction Lending

Does acquiring another bank come under the `Asset Quality' factor?

Amazing that those bank failures always occur on a Friday, isn't it?

Wow Grandma. Hope the transition to whatever the FDIC has planned goes OK for you. My bank and credit union are also listed as 3 stars at Bankrate.

While Arvest doesn't have any Early Warning signs.
both my Credit Unions do! And all three insitutions are 3 starred....

UARK EarlyWarning:
Early warning indicators identify areas of potential concern, which may lead to financial deterioration and thus, require inquiry or in depth investigation.
For this institution we have noted: Capital adequacy, Overhead
along with several `below peer norm' marks

• Capital Adequacy
• Overhead

NWARK: ditto
:blink:
So, actually, everyone in a Fed CC probably needs to check out the `memos' to compare if you happen to have a choice of set-ups.

FDIC adding a lot of employees-

FDIC approves sharp increase in 2010 budget to $4B

FDIC boosts 2010 budget to $4B from $2.6B, plans to hire 1,643 workers as bank failures mount

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday its 2010 budget will jump to $4 billion from $2.6 billion this year, and announced plans to hire more than 1,600 mostly temporary employees as it continues to grapple with a rising number of bank failures.

The FDIC's board voted at a public meeting to approve the 2010 budget, which includes $2.5 billion for resolving failed banks taken over by the agency. That's up from $1.3 billion in 2009. The hiring plans will bring the number of FDIC employees to 8,653.

So far this year, 133 U.S. banks have succumbed to the soured economy and a cascade of loan defaults -- the most in a year since 1992 at the height of the savings-and-loan crisis. They compare with 25 last year and three in 2007. The failures have cost the federal deposit insurance fund more than $30 billion so far this year.

FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair has said most banks continue to be profitable but others continue to be stressed, and that the number of failures could rise further next year. The agency expects the cost of bank failures to grow to about $100 billion over the next four years.

Where do people apply for these semi-posted jobs? Are FDIC offices scattered across the country? I've got a grand-daugh that needs work -
she is just another young lady going from one place to another, some are not even taking applications.

***********************************
To get a FED job, go to USAJOBS.com and cruise the site. They should have a couple links or ways of getting to your preferred; agency and/or area. Jobs are tight and now lots of folks are looking for a FED job, for they are recession proof? FDIC is a small agency so the jobs there will be hard to get into. Have your son, girl, etc. type up one of these federal applications, leaving the job title and series applied for blank, run thousands of copies and go through the USAJOBS.com site and drop a line to all vacancies that interest? I was just there and there is over 33,000 jobs listed.
