As of March 8, there were 129 banks and thrifts operating under severe enforcement actions issued since 2010.
On Jan. 11, Oklahoma-based Fort Gibson State Bank received a prompt corrective action directive from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. that labeled the bank "significantly undercapitalized." At the end of 2018, Fort Gibson's leverage ratio was 3.12%, down from 8.14% at the end of 2017.
During 2018, the bank's credit quality deteriorated rapidly. At the end of 2017, only 0.03% of the bank's loans were 90-plus days past due or in nonaccrual status. By the end of the 2018 third quarter, however, that level had risen to 5.04% and hit 9.43% in the fourth quarter.
Another Oklahoma-based bank, Lakeside State Bank, received a consent order from the FDIC on Jan. 30 related to concerns about the bank's Bank Secrecy Act, information technology and internal control functions.
San Antonio-based USAA Federal Savings Bank received a consent order on Jan. 7 from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency tied to the company's compliance management systems and risk governance.
Currently, Georgia has 11 banks and thrifts operating under a severe enforcement action, the most of any state. However, that accounts for only 7% of the institutions headquartered in Georgia, down from more than 25% during the credit crisis years.
