The number of enforcement actions by the FDIC against problem banks in June totaled 45, down from 57 in the previous month.
The FDIC’s enforcement actions included 10 civil money penalties, 14 consent orders and 3 prompt corrective actions. In addition, the FDIC terminated 8 consent and cease and desist orders, in many cases due to the fact that the bank against which the orders were outstanding had already failed.
Enforcements action are issued when regulators have doubts that an institution is able to adequately address serious financial deficiencies and/or operating deficiencies. If an institution is classified as “critically undercapitalized”, regulators are required to close such banks within 90 days.
Cease and desist orders are issued by regulators when they have “determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations.” Typically a Bank will accept the terms of a Cease and Desist Order by signing a “Consent Order” in which they agree to the regulatory orders contained in the Cease and Desist Order. By signing the Consent Order, Banks accept regulatory orders “without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices.
A Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) is far more serious than a consent order. A PCA is a final “formal action that requires an institution to take one or more specified actions to return to minimum capital standards”. Many of the banks issued a Prompt Corrective Action are usually undercapitalized and unable to raise new capital due to their deteriorated financial condition. It is common to see many of the Banks issued PCAs wind up on the Failed Bank List.
All three of the Banks issued a Prompt Corrective Action order in June have troubled asset ratios in excess of 150% compared to the national average of 15. Most banks with a troubled asset ratio over 100% usually do not recover and wind up being seized by regulators.
The number of Problem Banks has increased steadily since 2007 and now totals 888 banks or almost 12% of all FDIC insured institutions. With the economy weakening and property values declining, most Problem Banks find it impossible to raise the additional capital required to meet minimum regulatory capital ratios. It would not be surprising to see the list of Problem Banks continue to expand in the future.
