UPDATE: FDIC’s Bank Problem List Grows from 47 to 90 to 117 - How do you find out if your bank may be on the FDIC’s secret bank problem list?
The FDIC’s list of problem banks has grown from 47 to 90 to 117 recently — and though the FDIC doesn’t publish their secret list of problem banks for fear of everyone running to take their monies out, you can follow the below tips to try and find out if your bank may be one of the 117 banks on the FDIC’s secret problem list…
FDIC’s Problem Bank List Grows From 47 to 90 to 117 Banks With Problems…
So while today we learn of the FDIC’s secret bank problem list, we cannot see the FDIC’s secret bank problem list for fear of people pulling their monies out of banks in droves.
In lieu of the FDIC’s bank problem list, they do publish a failed bank list — and you can sign up on their website for immediate email updates:
The FDIC Doesn’t Publish the Bank Problem List, But…
…there are websites out there that use logical deductive reasoning and recent press releases, combined with stock price fallings and the like to figure out which banks might be a problem:
I found out the strength of the banks I use: Chase Bank had a great strength rating of 5, while National City’s bank strength rating was not great at 1. As soon as money is deposited into my National City bank account, I transfer it right away to pay my American Express bill.
Basically, like the woman said in the CNN video about the problem banks — this crisis is not as bad as the Savings & Loans scandal of the 80s, but tell that to the guy who lost around 60 grand at his account at IndyMac.
Spread it around, good people. Spread your money around…
