FDIC Issues 57 Enforcement Actions Against Problem Banks In December

The FDIC issued 57 enforcement actions against banks in December 2011, down from 72 in November.

The December enforcement actions included 9 consent orders, 19 civil money penalties, 4 prompt corrective actions, 3 voluntary terminations of insurance, 12 removal and prohibition orders and 10 orders terminating previous consent orders and cease and desist orders.

A consent order is a formal enforcement action issued by regulators to a bank.  The bank is required by the consent order to stop unsafe or unsound practices.  Once a bank materially complies with the consent order, the regulatory order may be terminated.

Far more serious than a consent order is a prompt corrective action notice (PCA) under which a bank is required to take immediate action to return to “minimum capital standards”.  Generally, a bank that is issued a PCA is considered to be operating in “an unsafe and unsound condition”.  An institution receiving a prompt corrective action is considered to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized.

It is highly likely that banks receiving a consent order or prompt corrective action are on the FDIC confidential problem bank list.  Statistics from the FDIC’s last Quarterly Banking Profile show that almost 12% of all banks are on the Problem Bank List.  The number of banks currently considered to be problem banks is 844 at September 30, 2011, compared to 865 in the previous quarter.

The banks on the Problem Bank List have weak capital positions and operational deficiencies which triggered regulatory actions.

Listed below are the enforcement actions taken by the FDIC for December 2011.
