Resolutions
The FDIC is responsible for the orderly resolution of failing banks. In the event of a bank failure, the FDIC acts in two capacities. First, as the insurer of the bank's deposits, the FDIC pays insurance to the depositors up to the insurance limit. Second, as the "receiver" of the failed bank, the FDIC assumes the task of selling the assets of the failed bank and settling its debts, including claims for deposits in excess of the insured limit.
Bank Failures
The FDIC provides a record of U.S. failed banks, including summaries of each bank failure from 2000 to the present.
