552 banks are currently at risk for shutting down

Could your bank fail? There's still a chance, but if you study the numbers, the odds are still highly in your favor that your financial institution will be sticking around.

Earlier this week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. came out with its third-quarter report, stating that the number of troubled banks has climbed to 552.

The report reveals the health of the banking system as of late September. The current total of troubled banks is up from 416 at the end of June, and 305 at the end of March.
