Note: The FDIC's official problem bank list is comprised of banks with a CAMELS rating of 4 or 5, and the list is not made public. (CAMELS is the FDIC rating system, and stands for Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to market risk. The scale is from 1 to 5, with 1 being the strongest.)

As a substitute for the CAMELS ratings, surferdude808 is using publicly announced formal enforcement actions, and also media reports and company announcements that suggest to us an enforcement action is likely, to compile a list of possible problem banks in the public interest.

So this is an unofficial list of Problem Banks compiled only from public sources. (And only US banks).

Here is the unofficial problem bank list for June 15, 2012. (table is sortable by assets, state, etc.)

Changes and comments from surferdude808:

As anticipated, the OCC released its actions through mid-May 2012. That release and several failures contributed to some changes to the Unofficial Problem Bank List. In all, there were six removals and two additions. The changes leave the list with 919 institutions with assets of $354.0 billion. A year ago, 996 institutions with assets of $416.7 billion.

The removals include three action terminations -- Baylake Bank, Sturgeon Bay, WI ($1.1 billion Ticker: BYLK); First National Bank South Dakota, Yankton, SD ($415 million Ticker: FINN); and Woodlands National Bank, Hinckley, MN ($133 million). The three failures were Putnam State Bank, Palatka, FL ($169 million); The Farmers Bank of Lynchburg, Lynchburg, TN ($164 million); and Security Exchange Bank, Marietta, GA ($151 million).

The additions were Lifestore Bank, West Jefferson, NC ($294 million Ticker: LSFG) and Fidelity National Bank, Medford, WI ($89 million).
