What these numbers mean

Counts describe this source’s current available records, before any name search. Records can overlap within and across lists. They are not counts of unique entities.

Publicly browsable records are the portion available in the public directory. A record’s presence does not by itself establish an active sanction.

Organizations include companies and other bodies. Other / unspecified means the source record has no more specific supported type.

What this source covers

This reference collection identifies the failed bank, FDIC certificate and fund numbers, location, closing date, and acquiring institution. A historical failure is not a sanctions designation; the acquirer is retained as context and is not treated as a failed bank.

How to interpret this source

Use certificate and fund numbers to distinguish similarly named banks and inspect the original FDIC resolution information. These records describe events at the published closing date and do not make claims about a successor institution’s current condition.
