BankUnited Faces Curbs, Columbian Fails: Bank Watch Scorecard

By Linda Shen

Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The table below tracks failures and regulatory orders among banks, savings and loans and credit unions.

At least a dozen U.S. lenders and credit unions have been closed by state and national regulators since 2007 as mortgage markets collapsed, triggering more than $500 billion of writedowns and credit losses worldwide.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insures deposits of up to $100,000 per depositor per bank, and up to $250,000 for some retirement accounts at about 8,500 institutions. The National Credit Union Administration, also a federal agency, insures deposits up to $100,000 per account.

Some of the most recent developments:

-- BankUnited Financial Corp., Florida's largest bank, may lose its ``well-capitalized'' status unless it attracts at least $400 million of capital, the company said yesterday. Regulators told BankUnited it must notify the Office of Thrift Supervision before adding directors or senior executives, paying dividends or signing contracts out of its normal course of business.

-- Columbian Bank and Trust Co. of Topeka, Kansas, closed Aug. 22, the ninth U.S. bank to collapse this year. Columbia had $752 million in assets and $622 million in total deposits.

-- So far this year, the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have sent out more ``memorandums of understanding'' telling individual banks to fix deficiencies than in all of 2007, the Wall Street Journal reported.
