FDIC Failed Bank List: 16 and counting.

WaMu: Just 1 of 16 failed banks this year.

According to the FDIC list of bank failures, there have been just 16 for 2008 (as of October 24th).

Here’s the list for 2008:

• Alpha Bank & Trust, Alpharetta, GA     October 24, 2008
• Meridian Bank Eldred, IL October 10, 2008
• Main Street Bank, Northville, MI October 10, 2008

• Hume Bank, Hume, MO March 7, 2008
• Douglass National Bank, Kansas City, MO January 25, 2008

The list itself goes back to 2000 and has hyperlinks to detailed information about each bank failure. Press release, contact info, etc… I think this list is probably better than the selection tool I posted about previously, but that’s just my humble opinion.
