Citizens Bank of Sac City, Iowa became the fifth Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) bank to fail this year. The beleaguered bank was shuttered on Nov. 3 by the Iowa Division of Banking.

Earlier in the year Silicon Valley Bank failed March 10 and then Signature Bank failed two days later, ending the unusual streak of more than 800 days without a bank failure.

Before Citizens Bank failed Friday, Heartland Tri-State Bank failed July 28 and First Republic Bank failed May 1.

Generally, a failure occurs when a bank becomes insolvent, meaning it lacks the funds to cover all of its customers’ deposits and the money it owes to others, according to the FDIC.

Bank failures aren’t uncommon; a few typically happen each year. So it’s rare for there to be years like 2022, 2021, 2018, 2006 or 2005, when there were no banks closed.

Before March 2023, only three banks had failed since the coronavirus pandemic started. And all three (The First State Bank, First City Bank of Florida and Almena State Bank) experienced previous financial problems, according to the FDIC. (There was one bank failure in 2020 before the pandemic started.)

Bank failures happen from time to time, which is why it’s important to have your money at an FDIC bank and make sure you’re within FDIC insurance limits and guidelines. No depositor has lost a penny of FDIC-insured funds since 1933.

As soon as a bank fails, the FDIC estimates how much that bank failure will cost the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). Quarterly assessments on FDIC-insured banks fund most of the DIF, according to the FDIC.
