This is an unofficial list of Problem Banks compiled only from public sources.

Here is the unofficial problem bank list for Oct 31, 2014.

Changes and comments from surferdude808:

As expected, the FDIC provided an update on its enforcement action activities. Their disclosure has to be the shortest list of new actions and terminations since the on-set of the Great Recession. In all, there were three removals and two additions to the Unofficial Problem Bank List this week. After the changes, the list holds 422 institutions with assets of $133.5 billion. For the month of October, the list declined by a net 10 institutions after eight action terminations, three mergers, two failures, and three additions.

The FDIC terminated actions against Decatur State Bank, Decatur, AR ($144 million); Lone Star Bank, Houston, TX ($106 million); and The Bank of Kaukauna, Kaukauna, WI ($84 million).

New to the list is Polonia Bank, Huntingdon Valley, PA ($300 million Ticker PBCP) and Proficio Bank, Cottonwood Heights, UT ($199 million).

CR Note: The first unofficial problem bank list was published in August 2009 with 389 institutions. The list peaked at 1,002 institutions on June 10, 2011, and is now down to 422.
