Well, it's another Friday... and the Feds announced the seizure another 5 banks today, pushing the number of bank failures this year to 89. This batch of failures cost the FDIC about $401 million.
The FDIC insures deposits at over 8,000 institutions with roughly $13.5 trillion in assets, and reimburses customers for deposits of up to $250,000 when a bank fails. According to the Bloomberg story, the surge in failures has nearly depleted the Washington-based regulator's deposit insurance fund, leaving it with the lowest reserve since 1993.
