Hundreds of US banks are at risk of failure following several high-profile bank failures in 2023 and the collapse of Philadelphia's Republic Firstbank last week, according to an analysis by Klaros Group. Small and regional banks are under pressure due to overburdened commercial real estate lending and the current high interest rate environment, according to the study. Of the more than 4,000 US Financial Institution Groups, 282 are under pressure.
Brian Graham, co-founder and partner at Klaros Group, says most of these banks are not insolvent, or even close to insolvent. They're just too stressed and probably won't really have that many bank failures. But that doesn't mean communities and consumers won't be hurt by this pressure.
