Update on the Unofficial Problem Bank List for November 2015. During the month, the list fell from 264 institutions to 255 after nine removals. Assets dropped by $2.2 billion to an aggregate $77.0 billion. The asset total was updated to reflect third quarter figures, which resulted in a small decline of $224 million. A year ago, the list held 408 institutions with assets of $124.7 billion. This past week, the FDIC released third quarter industry results and an update on the Official Problem Bank List. FDIC said the official list held 203 problem banks, a decline of 25 during the quarter. During the past three months, the unofficial list holds 27 fewer banks.

Actions have been terminated against CertusBank, National Association, Easley, SC ($877 million); First National Bank in Howell, Howell, MI ($355 million); United American Bank, San Mateo, CA ($303 million); Quontic Bank, Astoria, NY ($165 million); First Alliance Bank, Cordova, TN ($120 million); and Summit National Bank, Hulett, WY ($64 million).
