Where the figures come from

Every record is the FDIC's own: its failure and assistance data in BankFind, the Failed Bank List for names and acquirers since October 2000, and each bank's quarterly Call Reports for the years before it closed. Losses are the FDIC's estimates as of July 31, 2026 and still move as receiverships wind down. How to read the data explains every figure and rank.
