If The Bank Fails
The bank customer will usually find out
their bank failed when they get a letter stating that another bank has taken over the
accounts. FDIC does not give advance notice to the public when a financial
institution is closed. If all of the accounts are fully FDIC insured the bank
customer loses nothing and access to all money is usually immediate. If you have
uninsured deposits, life is more difficult.
When a bank fails and FDIC is appointed
as receiver, FDIC will sell the institution’s assets to pay depositors and creditors. If any excess
cash is generated – after the administrative expenses of the FDIC receiver are
taken care of – then the receiver may declare and distribute a dividend to
claimants. First in line to claim any money are the remaining uninsured
deposits, followed by institution liabilities, subordinated obligations, and
then obligations to shareholders.
When Do Uninsured Depositors Get Paid?
Uninsured depositors may get a special Advance
Dividend usually within 30 days after the bank closes. Every quarter
FDIC, as the receiver, will determine the net proceeds available from converting
failed bank assets and, if money’s available, pay out a Traditional
Dividend until all the money’s gone.
The following chart lists banks that have failed since 2001, the date they
closed and the total dividends paid by the updated date listed. All information
was obtained from the FDIC web site www.fdic.gov.
