Strongest and Weakest California Banks

Posted on

TSC Ratings provides exclusive stock, ETF and mutual fund ratings and commentary based on award-winning, proprietary tools. Its “safety first” approach to investing aims to reduce risk while seeking solid out performance on a total return basis.

California ranks second to Georgia for the largest number of bank and thrift failures during the current economic crisis, with regulators shutting down eight institutions since the beginning of 2008.

While Georgia has had more bank failures, California has been the costliest state for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., accounting for $13.6 billion of the $19.5 billion of costs incurred by its insurance fund as of Feb. 27.

Strongest California banks and thrifts: As bad economic news piles up and the banking industry increases its overall exposure to problem assets, it’s easy to forget that strong banks and thrifts still exist. Based on year-end financial reports, 28 of California’s 317 banks and thrifts were rated B-plus or better, grades considered “good” or “excellent.”
