<p>This list has been a long time in coming&#8230; but no matter how you count them&#8230; 2010 was the year of the bank failure. Here&#8217;s a list of the failed banks sorted by state (including the Common Wealth of Puerto Rico &#8211; which had the largest bank failures of all U.S. territories during the year). Total estimated loses to the FDIC&#8217;s insurance fund is estimated to be nearly $24 billion in 2010. </p>

<p>The year-to-date bank failure losses are staggering. So far for the year, estimated losses to the FDIC are just over $ billion. Florida is winning the race in terms of total number of failed banks, but Washington state takes the top failure by a state prize with more than $2.7 billion in estimated losses. The common wealth of Puerto Rico has the distinction of being the top loser with more then $5 billion in losses.&#160;</p>

But the storm of US bank failures continue to roar its way through April like a lion on the rampage bringing the total of failed banks to 64 for the year.&#160;</p>
<p>Twenty-three more US banks found their way to failure during the month of April and the FDIC estimates its losses to be nearly $10 billion for the month. &#160; With &#160;2010 in the record books, the total estimated loss to the FDIC and its member banks is estimated at nearly $18 billion. The April results represent nearly a 40% increase over the same month a year ago. The bank failure storm shows few signs of coming to an end.&#160;</p>
<p>The following is a list of the banks that failed during the month.</p>
