Regulators have seized three bank, two headquartered in Florida and one in Oregon, resulting in an estimated loss of $185 million to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
First State Bank, a Sarasota, Fla.-based institution with assets of $463 million and deposits of $387 million, was shuttered on Friday, Aug. 7, producing a loss of $116 million to the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC ensures deposits up to $250,000 per account.
On that same day across town regulators were seizing the Community National Bank of Sarasota County, with assets of $97 million and deposits of $93 million. This failure resulted in a loss of $24 million to the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund.
The deposits of both Sarasota banks were assumed by Stearns Bank of St. Cloud, Minn. This is not the first time that the FDIC has worked out a deal with Stearns Bank to assume the deposits of a failed institution.
In June, Stearns Bank took over the deposits of the failed Minnesota institution Horizon Bank with assets of $87.6 million and deposits of $69.4 million.
For the year, regulators have seized six Florida-based institutions with combined assets of $14.2 billion and deposits of $9.8 billion. The six Florida bank failures of 2009 have resulted in an estimated loss of $5.4 billion, according to CondoVultures.com research based on FDIC data.
Florida ranks fourth in the country in 2009 for the greatest number of bank failures behind Georgia's 16 closings, Illinois' 13 closings, and California's eight closings, according to the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based consultancy Condo Vultures®.

FDIC Lost $5.2 Billion Last Week
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which guarantees bank accounts up to $250,000, lost nearly $5.2 billion last week with the failure of a Florida savings institution and two Illinois banks.
Last week's bank failures push the total losses incurred by the FDIC in the first five months of 2009 to more than $10.6 billion. In all of 2008, the FDIC lost between $10.4 billion and $14.9 billion, according to a new report from Condo Vultures® LLC using regulatory data.
"The FDIC is losing an average of $2 billion per month with bank failures," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures®. "We expect this trend to continue given that the FDIC plans to open a 500-person bank seizure in asset sales office in Jacksonville, Fla., in September to deal with troubled banks in the Southeast and especially Florida."
Of the 36 banks shut by regulators in 2009, only three have been in Florida even though the sunshine state is considered by many to be the epicenter of the U.S. housing crash.
The most recent failure was on Thursday, May 21, with regulators shuttered Florida's largest institution, BankUnited. Headquartered in suburban Miami, BankUnited had $12.8 billion in assets, $8.6 billion in deposits, and more than 80 branch locations throughout Florida.
BankUnited's failure is estimated to cost the FDIC about $4.9 billion, making it the largest bank failure since July 2008 when IndyMac was seized.
IndyMac Bank was a California-based institution with $32 billion in assets and $19 billion in deposits. The IndyMac failure cost the FDIC between $4 billion and $8 billion.
The two Illinois banks to be closed last week on May 22 were Strategic Capital Bank and Citizens National Bank.
Strategic Capital Bank had assets of $537 million and deposits of $471 million. The FDIC's estimated loss from Strategic Capital Bank is $173 million.
Citizens National Bank had assets of $437 million and deposits of $400 million. The FDIC's estimated loss from Citizens National Bank is $106 million.
