I haven't updated this graph for some time ...

There have been 314 bank failures in this cycle (starting in 2007):

FDIC Bank Failures by Year
2007	3
2008	25
2009	140
2010	149
Total	314

No larger image.This graph shows bank failures by week in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The FDIC has slowed down recently, and there are probably only two weeks left for bank closures this year. The 149 bank failures this year is the highest total since 1992 (181 bank failures).

Unfortunately banks are still being added to the unofficial problem bank list much faster than they are being removed ... so there are probably many more banks failures to come.
