After Friday's action saw the FDIC close 3 more banks (1 each in Kansas, Arizona, & Florida) our running total for 2009 stands at 133. I've heard a lot of people say that this is not such a big deal because back in the 1980's during the Savings & Loan crisis there were thousands of banks closed. Just because times were worse in sheer number of bank closures, I don't think it is wise to dismiss the fact that we have had over 100 bank failures so far this calendar year. My reasoning is that the FDIC has not typically closed more than 4 or 5 banks in a year until we got into this current mess.
The only way I can seem to demonstrate to people just how big a deal this is, is by showing you the names, dates, and addresses for each of these now defunct banks. When you look at the list this way it is pretty hard not to think of it as a bit more serious than people give credit for.
