SUMMARY




Su m m a r y

At the end of 1955 nearly 95 percent of the banks of deposit in the
United States were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The accounts in these banks numbered approximately 130 million, and
about 98 percent of these were within the insurance limit of $10,000.
The amount of deposits insured was estimated at $116 billion, or about
55 percent of total deposits in the insured banks. (P. 3).
During 1955 the Corporation brought charges against seven banks for
continuing to engage in unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law.
During the year disbursements by the Corporation to protect depositors
were made in five banks, bringing to 429 the total number of banks in
which such disbursements have been made since the beginning of the
Corporation’s operations in 1934. (Pp. 5 and 9).
The deposit insurance fund, or assets of the Corporation in excess of
its liabilities, amounted at the end of the year to $1,640 million. This
was equal to 0.77 percent of the total deposits of insured banks, or 1.41
percent of insured deposits. (P. 16).
Assets of all operating banks increased during 1955 by 4.5 percent and
deposits by 4.4 percent. These percentage increases were slightly smaller
than in the previous year, but were a little larger than the average annual
increases since 1946. As in other years, there was a large variation in
the change in holdings of different types of assets, some types increasing
much more rapidly than total assets, and other types less rapidly or
declining. (Pp. 27-31).
The total income of insured commercial banks was about 3 percent
larger, and that of mutual savings banks about 5 percent larger, than
in the previous year. As in other years, income from loans and securities
constituted about four-fifths of the current income of insured com­
mercial banks, and their current operating expenses were about twothirds of current operating earnings. Net profits of the insured commercial
banks, after income taxes, were nearly 8 percent of the banks’ total
capital accounts. About half of the net profits were used for dividends
to stockholders. (Pp. 35, 37, 43).
Reports from insured banks for September 21, 1955, show that all size
groups of banks have about the same percentage of their accounts fully
protected by insurance, but the small banks have a substantially larger
percentage of their deposits insured than do the large banks. There is
considerable range in the percentages of deposits in various types of
accounts that are insured, with a coverage of more than 90 percent for
savings and time deposits, but less than half for all other types of ac­
counts. (Pp. 49, 64-65).

Participation of banks in Federal deposit insurance. At the end
of 1955, 13,457 banks, or nearly 95 percent of the banks of deposit in
the United States, were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. This percentage was slightly higher than at the end of 1954.
In 36 States and the District of Columbia 95 percent or more of the
banks of deposit were insured; and in 12 of these States and the District
of Columbia all such banks were insured. The percentages of banks of
deposit in each State insured by the Corporation are shown in Chart A.

Accounts and deposits of insured banks. Accounts in insured
banks numbered approximately 130 million at the end of 1955. About
98 percent of these accounts were within the insurance limit of $10,000.
Although Federal deposit insurance applies to individual depositors
rather than to accounts, it is believed that the percentage of depositors
fully protected was substantially the same.
Deposits in insured banks totaled $212 billion on December 31, 1955.
Despite the fact that 98 percent of the accounts were fully protected,
there were substantial uninsured balances in the relatively few large
accounts. As a result, insured deposits at the end of 1955 were estimated
at $116 billion, or about 55 percent of total deposits.

Bank examinations. A vital part of the Corporation's activities in
protecting depositors is the examination of insured banks. During 1955
the Corporation's examiners made 6,896 examinations, most of them
of insured banks not members of the Federal Reserve System. Other
insured banks were examined by examiners representing the Comptroller
of the Currency or the Federal Reserve banks. The reports of these
examinations, with those of the Corporation's examiners, were reviewed
by the Washington staff of the Corporation.
It is the policy of the Corporation to make an annual examination
of each insured bank not a member of the Federal Reserve System.
More frequent examinations are made where special problems or un­
sound conditions exist; and occasionally the Corporation examines an
insured bank normally examined by another Federal supervisory agency.
Along with these examinations, the Corporation conducts investigations
of proposed new banks or branches; this phase of activity increased
appreciably in 1955. The extent and types of activity of the Division
of Examination in 1954 and 1955 are indicated in Table 1.

Citations for unsafe and unsound banking practices and viola­
tions of law. When examination of a bank reveals unsafe or unsound
banking practices or a violation of law or regulations, the examiner
confers with the officials of the bank and its board of directors. The
necessary corrections are usually forthcoming. However, where such
practices or violations persist, the Corporation has a legal duty imposed
upon it by Section 8(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to institute
proceedings for the involuntary termination of the insured status of
such bank. Proceedings are initiated only after every effort has been
made through cooperation with the bank to obtain the observance of



SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES

sound and lawful procedures; for the primary purpose of such proceedings
is to secure discontinuance of the unsound and unlawful practices.
The charges brought against seven banks cited in 1955 are sum­
marized in Table 2. The charges cannot be completely categorized; for
a practice specified in one case may in another case have been unspecified
although implicit in a broader charge.

1 No action to terminate the insured status of any bank was taken before 1936. In 5 cases where
initial action was replaced by action based upon additional charges, only the latter action is included.
2 One of these suspended 4 months after its insured status was terminated.

A bank which has been formally charged with unsafe and unsound
practices is afforded a period of time, as prescribed by law, in which to
discontinue such practices and make necessary corrections. At the end
of this correction period the bank is reexamined. If it is determined
that unsafe and unsound practices still persist, the Board of Directors
of the Corporation sets the time and place for a hearing, at which the
bank is afforded opportunity to show cause why its insured status should
not be terminated. At such hearings the bank may present any pertinent
evidence, which is then carefully considered by the Board in reaching
its decision. During 1955, five such hearings were held, in each of which
the charges against the bank were sustained.
As of January 1, 1955, there were pending 12 involuntary termination
proceedings; during the year seven additional proceedings were instituted.
Of these 19 cases, seven were dismissed during the year when the banks
involved made the required changes or corrections, and in one other
case corrections made after the hearing resulted in dismissal of the pro­
ceedings by the Board. In two cases in which it was necessary to order
hearings, the banks suspended on the effective date for termination of
their insured status when the State supervisory authority placed them
in receivership. In the other two cases in which hearings were ordered,
the Board had ordered termination of insured status effective March 1,
1956, but at the end of 1955 it appeared that the banks would make the
necessary corrections before the effective date for termination of their
insured status. There remained seven other cases pending at the end
of 1955.



SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES

Admission to insured status. Banks that become members of
the Federal Reserve System are insured without application to the
Corporation. National banks located outside the 48 States and the District
of Columbia which are not members of the Federal Reserve System may
become insured upon application by the bank and certification by the
Comptroller of the Currency. Other banks of deposit may apply to the
Board of Directors of the Corporation for admission to insurance. In
the case of a new bank, the Board acts upon an application for admission
to insurance only after the bank has obtained a charter, or a commitment
for one, from the appropriate State banking authority.
During 1955 the Board acted upon 148 applications for admission
to insurance; 117 applications were from new banks and 31 from operating
banks. Except for 14 applications, all from new banks, all were approved
for admission to insurance.
Of the 103 new banks approved for admission to insurance, there were
12 each in Florida and Texas, 10 in Illinois, and 5 or more in Iowa,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Oregon. Twelve of the 31 operating
banks admitted to insurance were in Kansas.

Other applications from banks. In addition to the applications
for admission to insurance, the Board of Directors acted upon 467 other
applications from banks in 1955. Most of these applications were made
pursuant to provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or rules
and regulations of the Corporation. A few were for modification of
agreements previously made by the bank with the Corporation. The
various types of applications acted upon by the Board of Directors in
1955 and the Board’s decisions regarding them are presented in Table 4.
Reports from banks. The reports which banks are required to submit
to the Corporation provide information useful both to the banks and to
the supervisory authorities.
All insured banks were required to submit statements of their assets
and liabilities as of June 30 and December 31, 1955, and statements of
their earnings, expenses, and dividends for the calendar year 1955.
National banks and all banks in the District of Columbia submitted
the reports to the Comptroller of the Currency; State banks belonging
to the Federal Reserve System sent their reports to the respective Federal
Reserve banks; all other insured banks made their reports to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each of the Federal agencies tabulates
and summarizes the data reported to it and makes the results available
to the other agencies.
Supplementing the reports from insured banks, the Corporation, by
inter-agency agreement, gathers and prepares statistics of assets and
liabilities of noninsured banks and trust companies, and provides the
only complete statistical series for assets and liabilities of all operating
banks. Reports relating to noninsured banks as of June 30 and December
31, 1955, were obtained through the assistance of State banking au­
thorities and of officials of unincorporated banks or other banking
institutions not under Federal or State supervision.
In addition to the regular calls, a special request for deposit information
from all insured banks was made by this Corporation on September 21,
1955. This was the first such request since September 19, 1951. Like
that one, its primary purpose was to assist in estimating the contingent
liability of the Corporation in insuring bank deposits.
The data on assets and liabilities, and on earnings and expenses of
banks, are discussed in Part Two of this report, and shown in the sta­
tistical tables of Part Five. Results and analysis of the special request
for deposit information as of September 21, 1955, are presented in Part
Three of this report. Tabulations of the reports of assets and liabilities
of all banks and of insured banks classified by State and class of bank
are published by the Corporation in separate reports.

Disbursements for protection of depositors in 1955. Notwith­
standing all the measures taken to assure sound banks, some banks
nevertheless experience financial difficulties sufficiently serious to require
disbursements by the Corporation to protect depositors.
During 1955 the Corporation made disbursements to protect depositors
of five insured banks, one each in California, Maine, and Texas, and two
in Idaho. In two of the banks there were serious financial irregularities;
two others were the victims of large defalcations; and one of the banks
discontinued operation because of a deteriorating asset situation resulting
from adverse local economic conditions. The five banks together had
about 18,000 depositors with deposits totaling $12.0 million.
Four of the banks were closed by the appropriate supervisory au­
thority, and the Corporation moved in promptly and began to pay de­
positors the amount of their insured deposits. In all four cases the Corpo­
ration was appointed receiver. In the case of the fifth bank, the deposit
liabilities were assumed by another insured bank, with the Corporation
purchasing those assets of the discontinuing bank which were not ac­
ceptable for transfer to the assuming bank. For these assets the Corpo­
ration paid cash equal to the difference between the bank’s deposit
liabilities and the acceptable assets. Disbursements in the five cases
totaled $6.8 million at the end of 1955.
The assets acquired by the Corporation, as receiver or purchaser, in
the five cases are being liquidated as opportunities arise to minimize
losses without undue disruption of credit conditions in the various
communities. It was expected at the end of 1955 that losses to the Corpo­
ration in the five cases, exclusive of costs incurred in paying claims,
would be slightly in excess of $600,000.
Disbursements for protection of depositors, 1934-1955. From
the beginning of deposit insurance to the end of 1955 the Corporation
disbursed funds to protect depositors of 429 banks. The four banks
placed in receivership in 1955 brought the number of receivership cases
to 249. In the remaining 180 cases, the Corporation made loans to or
purchased assets of the financially distressed banks, thereby facilitating
assumption of their deposits by other insured banks. In all the cases
combined there were over 1.4 million deposit accounts and $571.9 million
of deposits.
In fulfilling its responsibility to depositors in these cases, the Corpo­
ration had disbursed or provided for disbursements of $336.2 million
by the end of 1955; an additional $1.6 million was disbursed to facilitate
termination of liquidations. Except for certain administrative expenses



10

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

totaling $1.0 million, all disbursements by the Corporation are subject
to recovery from the proceeds of liquidation, insofar as this is possible.
The different types of disbursements and related data concerning re­
coveries and losses by the Corporation are presented in Table 5.

In receivership cases the depositors who are paid by the Corporation
assign to it equivalent claims against the receiver of the bank. These
entitle the Corporation to receivers' dividends on a parity with similar
claims. When the Corporation makes a loan to or purchases assets from
an insured bank to facilitate assumption of its deposits by another
insured bank, the Corporation is entitled to recover its principal dis­
bursement from liquidation of the assets thereby acquired. In addition,
the Corporation may recover its liquidation expenses and advances
made to protect the value of assets awaiting liquidation. From any
further proceeds the Corporation retains an amount equal to interest
or a return on investment of 4 percent on the amounts advanced.



ACTION TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS IN FAILING BANKS

11

Finally, if the Corporation purchases the residual assets in order to
realize economies from the early termination of a case, all subsequent
recoveries on such assets accrue to the Corporation.
At the end of 1955 the Corporation had recovered $305.0 million. Ex­
pected additional recoveries of $4.3 million, if realized, would reduce
losses on total disbursements to $28.5 million. Allowing further for
interest collected on loans and allowable return received on purchased
assets, together amounting to $8.8 million, the Corporation's net loss
of funds through 1955 is estimated at $19.7 million.
Losses o f depositors. Approximately nine-tenths of the total deposits
in the four banks which were placed in receivership in 1955 were protected
by deposit insurance, enjoyed secured or preferred status, or were offset
by debts. Owners of the remaining one-tenth of deposits in the four
banks have participated ratably in dividends derived from liquidation
of the assets of the banks, paid by the Corporation in its separate capacity
as receiver. Further dividends will be paid as additional recoveries
are made.
All deposit accounts of the insured bank handled by the assumption
method in 1955 were fully protected, including those in excess of $10,000.
Since the establishment of the Corporation, over 99 percent of all de­
posits in the 429 distressed insured banks have been paid to or recovered
by the depositors. In 223 cases, including the 180 assumption cases, no
depositor suffered any loss; and in each of 186 other cases depositors
as a group lost less than 5 percent. Of the remaining 16 cases which
have been terminated, only six entailed losses to depositors greater
than 10 percent; and the greatest loss was 24 percent in one of the banks
placed in receivership in 1936. In four receivership cases, losses to
depositors have not yet been determined.

F in a n c e s o f t h e

C o r p o r a t io n

Sources o f incom e. To fulfill the continuing financial responsibilities
of the Corporation, insured banks are required to pay regular assessments.
The assessment rate is 1/12 of one percent annually of total deposits
less certain authorized exclusions and deductions. Against current
assessments the banks are allowed a credit, under terms of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act of 1950, amounting to 60 percent of net assess­
ment income; i.e., assessment income remaining after deduction of
insurance losses and operating expenses. The Corporation retains 40
percent of net assessment income.
Funds of the Corporation in excess of amounts needed for its opera­
tions have, in accordance with statute, been invested in United States



12

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Government securities. Interest on these obligations constitutes an im­
portant secondary source of income. In addition, the Corporation has
received some income on assets acquired in connection with the financial
assistance it has provided to depositors of distressed banks.
Income and its disposition in 1955. Total income of the Corpo­
ration during 1955 was $191.0 million. Of this, $151.4 million represented
assessments due; after deducting insurance losses and operating expenses
of $9.5 million, net assessment income amounted to $141.9 million,
before giving effect to applicable assessment adjustments of $0.3 million.
Insured banks received credits for $85.3 million of this adjusted net
assessment income, and $56.9 million was retained by the Corporation.
This latter amount, together with investment income and adjustments
totaling $40.0 million, resulted in an increase of $96.9 million in the deposit
insurance fund, raising it to $1,639.6 million at the end of 1955.

The net assessment income credit to banks of $85.3 million is allocated
among the insured banks in proportion to their assessments which be­
came due in 1955, and becomes available to them on July 1, 1956, for
use in paying current deposit insurance assessments. The credit received
by each insured bank is equal to 56.37 percent of its 1955 assessment,
approximately the same percentage as in each year since 1950.
Income and expenses of the Corporation in 1955 are presented in
Table 6. A breakdown of the administrative and operating expenses
of the Corporation is shown in Table 7. The computation of net assess­
ment income and its allocation between the Corporation and insured
banks are given in Table 8.

1 Includes nonrecoverable expenses incurred pursuant to the insurance of deposits in closed insured
banks.
2 Paid in 1950 and 1951, but allocated among years to which it applies. Initial capital of $289 million
was retired by payments to the United States Treasury in 1947 and 1948.
* The amounts shown herein give effect to adjustments to the deposit insurance fund in the years
to which they are applicable, whereas the amounts of the Fund shown in Table 11 represent the Fund
as reported on the dates specified. Hence the deposit insurance fund reported in Table 11 cannot be
computed by annual addition of income reported herein, except for the Fund as of December 31, 1955.

Net after deducting the portion of net assessment income credited to insured banks, pursuant to
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950.
6 Assessments collected from insured banks, members of the temporary insurance funds which be­
came insured under the permanent plan, were credited to their accounts in total at the termination
of the temporary funds, and were applied toward payment of subsequent assessments becoming due
under the permanent insurance fund, resulting in no income to the Corporation from assessments during
the existence of the temporary insurance funds.
• Net after deducting the portion of expenses and losses charged to banks withdrawing from the
temporary insurance funds on June 30, 1934.

Assets and liabilities, December 31, 1955. The assets of the Corpo­
ration on December 31, 1955, totaled $1,734.1 million. Nearly all, or
$1,725.5 million, consisted of United States Government securities and
accrued interest thereon; $4.1 million was represented by cash and $4.5
million by assets acquired in receivership and deposit assumption trans­
actions and other assets.

F IN A N C E S OF T H E CO R PO R ATIO N

Liabilities of the Corporation at the end of 1955 totaled $94.5 million
and consisted principally of net assessment income credits due insured
banks. The excess of the Corporation’s assets over its liabilities, amount­
ing at the end of 1955 to $1,639.6 million, constitutes the Corporation’s
resources in fulfilling the deposit insurance obligation. It is authorized
to borrow from the United States Treasury an amount not exceeding
$3 billion outstanding at any one time, if needed for insurance purposes,
a power so far unused. The assets and liabilities of the Corporation on
December 31, 1955, are given in Table 10.

to the Acts of August 5, 1947 (61 Stat. 773) and June 29, 1948 (62 Stat. 1,092).
2 The deposit insurance fund represents the cumulative net income (surplus) of the Corporation
from its inception to December 31, 1955. For the protection of depositors, in addition to this fund, the
Corporation is authorized to borrow up to three billion dollars from the United States Treasury when
in the judgment of the Board of Directors such funds are required for insurance purposes.

At the end of 1955 the fund amounted to 1.4 percent of insured deposits,
as compared with 1.9 percent at mid-year 1934. The relationship of the
deposit insurance fund to insured deposits and to total deposits for each

1 Estimated by applying to the deposits in the various types of account at the regular call dates
the percentages insured as determined from special reports secured from insured banks.
*
Differs from previously published estimate because of the availability of new information on the
proportion of deposits insured, secured from a special call on September 21, 1955.

The risk to the Corporation as an insurer of deposits is not adequately
indicated by ratios of its fund to insured deposits. Specific areas of risk
must also be considered. One type of risk is exemplified by those insured



FINANCES OF THE CORPORATION

banks which have relatively thin capital margins, or which have large
amounts of doubtful or substandard assets compared to their capital
accounts, or which for other reasons appear especially vulnerable to
adverse circumstances. Another type of risk results from the concentra­
tion of insured deposits in a relatively small number of banks, as illus­
trated in Chart B. As indicated there, insured deposits in six banks are
almost six times the amount of the deposit insurance fund.

the former amendment the term “ savings deposit” in paragraph (e) of
Section 329.1 was enlarged to include a deposit of funds described in
that paragraph, when evidenced by a written receipt or agreement
although not by a passbook. Under the latter amendment the provisions
of Part 329, relating to the payment of deposits and interest thereon by
insured nonmember banks, were made inapplicable to guaranty savings
banks operating in the State of New Hampshire so long as said guaranty
savings banks operate substantially under and pursuant to the laws of
the State of New Hampshire pertaining to mutual savings banks and
do not engage in commercial banking.1 These amendments are given
in Part Four of this report.
Organization. Section 3 of the Description of Organization of the
Corporation, relating to delegation of final authority, published in the
Federal Register of March 27, 1954 (19 F. R. 1681), and set forth in
the Annual Report for 1954 on pages 97-101, was amended and pub­
lished in the Federal Register of August 24, 1955 (20 F. R. 6198). It is
reprinted in Part Four of this report.
State legislation. A summary of State banking legislation enacted
in 1955 is given in Part Four of this report.

Directors and employees. Responsibility for administration of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation resides in a three-member Board
of Directors. There were no changes in the membership of the Board
during 1955. The directors and other Corporation officials are listed
on page v, and an organization chart of the Corporation is shown on
page iv. Names of the Corporation’s supervising examiners and locations
of the district offices are given on pages vi and vii.
The Corporation had a total of 1,131 employees on December 31,
1955, representing an increase of 44 over the previous year. Almost
three-fourths of the Corporation’s personnel are employed in the Divi­
sion of Examination, and most of these are bank examiners working
in the field. A distribution of the Corporation’s employees according
to Division and location is presented in Table 12.
During 1955 a total of 216 persons left the employ of the Corporation.
These separations resulted in a turnover ratio of 19.3 per 100, or 14.1
per 100 if temporary personnel engaged in field liquidation activities
are excluded.

Guaranty fund savings banks in New Hampshire are included in banking statistics in the category

of "commercial and State savings banks and nondeposit trust companies."

Employee benefits and programs. At the end of 1955, 97 percent
of the Corporation’s employees were included in the United States
Civil Service Retirement System; the remaining 3 percent, who were
ineligible for that System, were covered by the Social Security Act.
Almost 98 percent of the eligible employees had by December 31, 1955
availed themselves of the group life insurance benefits provided under
the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Act of 1954.
Since 1952 the
ization, surgical,
ration bears the
bearing the cost

Corporation has provided for its employees a hospital­
and in-hospital medical benefits program. The Corpo­
cost of this program for its employees, who may by
thereof extend it to cover dependents.

The “ one package’’ plan for charitable contributions adopted by
Washington office employees in 1954 continued in 1955 to command
the generous support of employees. This plan has reduced the multi­
plicity and expense of charity appeals and at the same time has proven
a convenience to employees, most of whom fulfill their pledge through
regular payroll deductions. At the end of 1955 over 95 percent of the
Washington office employees participated, and during the year contri­
butions exceeded those previously given to the various charities.
Educational program. Since 1946 the Division of Examination
has carried on an educational program for its examiners. In 1955 this
program was extended to include auditors of the Audit Division.
The program consists primarily of correspondence courses given by
the American Institute of Banking and special graduate courses in
banking at three universities. Costs of these courses are paid by the
Corporation. The special graduate programs are conducted by The
Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University, the School of Banking
at the University of Wisconsin, and The School of Banking of the South
at Louisiana State University. Each of the graduate programs requires
for completion three summer resident sessions, each of two weeks’ dura­
tion, and itwo years of intensive nonresident study.

The results of this program in terms of more effective personnel are
highly gratifying to the Corporation. The extent of examiner participa­
tion in the program, since its inception and in 1955, is indicated in

In addition to the regular Corporation educational program, certain
Assistant Examiners employed by the Corporation have been afforded
an opportunity to attend the sessions of the Inter-Agency Bank Ex­
amination School which is conducted in Washington by the three Federal
bank supervisory authorities. During 1955, 24 Corporation employees
were enrolled for the junior sessions of this school and 3 employees were
enrolled for the senior session. The junior session is designed for newly
employed Assistant Examiners and the senior session for Assistant
Examiners who have demonstrated their capability.

with generally accepted auditing standards and included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as were considered necessary in the cir­
cumstances and appropriate in view of the effectiveness of the system of internal
control, including the work performed by the Corporation's internal auditors.
In the opinion of the General Accounting Office, the accompanying balance sheet
(exhibit 1) and statement of income and deposit insurance fund (exhibit 2) present
fairly the financial position of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at June 30,
1955, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of
the preceding year and with applicable Federal laws.

1. Section 7(d) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817(d)) provides that as of
December 31, 1950, and as of December 31 of each year thereafter, the Corporation shall credit pro
rata to the insured banks 60 percent of the net assessment income (as defined by the act) for the calendar
year, the credit to be applied toward the payment of assessments becoming due for the semiannual
period beginning the next July 1 and any excess credit to be applied to the assessment of the following
period.
At June 30, 1955, the net amount due the banks for credits computed on the net assessment income
of calendar year 1954, as adjusted, was $81,625,899; in addition, there was a liability of $381,238 repre­
senting adjustments of prior years' credits. The actual amount of credit due the banks from calendar
year 1955 net assessment income is not determinable until after December 31, 1955. For statement
purposes, however, an estimated credit for the first 6 months of 1955 has been computed to be
$42,578,756.
2. At June 30, 1955, the deposit insurance fund was equivalent to 1.42 percent of the insured
deposits in all banks, estimated by the Corporation at 112.2 billion dollars. This fund, however, is not
a measure of the deposit insurance risk, and its adequacy to meet future losses will depend on future
economic conditions which cannot be predicted. Based on data compiled by the Corporation, the fund
appears to be adequate to cover any potential losses at June 30, 1955.
The Corporation may borrow from the United States Treasury, at interest, such funds as in the
judgment of the board of directors of the Corporation are required from time to time for insurance
urposes, not exceeding, in the aggregate, three billion dollars outstanding at any time. The Corporation
as never used this borrowing power.
3. Under existing law, the Corporation is not required to bear the Government’s share of the cost
of providing retirement, disability, and compensation (including unemployment) benefits for the em­
ployees of the Corporation. These costs are estimated to be approximately $335,000 for the fiscal year
1955.

Changes in number of operating banks and branches. During
1955 the number of banking offices in the United States increased by
more than 2 percent, totaling 21,675 at the year-end. As has been true
during each year since 1947, the number of banks declined, with a more
than offsetting increase in the number of branches. At the end of 1955
the number of operating banks was 14,284, down almost 1 percent from
the end of the preceding year, while the number of branches totaled
7,391, up more than 9 percent from the same date. The number of banks
and branches at the end of each year since 1946, and the increase or
decrease during each year, are shown in Table 15.

Increases during 1955 in the number of branches were not restricted
to any one section of the nation but were widespread, occurring in 37
States. The number of banks increased in 18 States and decreased in 23
States. Most of the States with an increase in the number of banks have
relatively little branch banking; States in which substantial declines
occurred in the number of banks were those experiencing large increases
in the number of branches.
Changes in the number of banks and branches, and thus in the total
number of banking offices, occur for a variety of reasons, the significance
of which may differ markedly. Table 16 summarizes the types of change
which have occurred among banks and branches during each year be­
ginning with 1947. Most of the banks ceasing operations have been
absorbed by, or consolidated or merged with, other banks. The number
of such combinations has increased substantially in each of the last four
years, and during 1955 was approximately three times the 1951 level.
Since 1946 there has been some variation in the number of banks ceasing

operation for other reasons, such as suspensions and other liquidations,
but the numbers have been small and display no significant trend.

Detailed data: Table 101, Annual Reports of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 1947-1955.
1 Mostly new banks, but includes a few previously operating financial institutions which became
banks of deposit.
2 Net decrease as a consequence of absorptions, consolidations, and mergers.
3 Suspensions and voluntary liquidations. Also includes in each year from one to four cases of banks,
the deposits of which were assumed with FDIC aid.
4 Includes revisions in classification and changes occurring in prior years, but on which no informa­
tion was available until given year.
5 In each year includes: from one to five cases of branches established at places at which a bank
had recently been liquidated; suspended, or removed; and from one to thirty-nine facilities established
in or near military installations at the request of the Treasury or Commanding Officer of the installation.
6 In each year (except 1949, 1951, and 1952) includes from one to ten facilities discontinued at
military installations.

The increasing number of absorptions, consolidations, and mergers
has had an effect on the formation of branches. Since 1946 about four
out of five banks losingftheir identity in such combinations have been
converted into branches of the absorbing banks. Branches formed in
this way accounted for about 30 percent of all branches opened for
business during 1955.
Types of operating banks and their insurance status. At the
end of 1955 almost all of the 14,284 banks operating in the United States
were banks of deposit, classified as commercial banks or mutual savings
banks. The commercial bank category, which includes a small number
of stock savings banks, accounted for 96 percent of all banks of deposit.
Table 17 shows the number of operating banks at the end of 1955, their
deposits, and their insurance status.
The 13,457 banks participating in Federal deposit insurance on De­
cember 31, 1955, comprised 94.6 percent of all banks of deposit, which
percentage was slightly higher than at the close of the preceding year.
Not participating in deposit insurance were a very small percentage of
the commercial banks and about three-fifths of the 528 mutual savings

banks. Also excluded were the trust companies not regularly engaged
in deposit banking, which are not eligible for deposit insurance. Deposits
in insured banks at the end of 1955 were 95.9 percent of deposits in all
operating banks, a slightly higher percentage than at the end of 1954.

Asset growth in 1955 and prior years. The assets of all banks
increased $10 billion during 1955 and at the end of the year amounted
to $243 billion. The 4.5 percent increase was slightly below that of the
previous year.
There is considerable variation in the annual rate of growth in bank
assets. During the past nine years the range has been from a negligible
increase in 1948 to a nearly 7 percent growth in 1950, with an average
annual increase of 4.1 percent. However, this pattern of growth has not
always existed. During the period 1927 through 1935 the range in the
annual rate of asset change was from a decline of 12.8 percent during
1931 to a 13.1 percent increase during 1934.
In 1955, as in other recent years, there was a substantial difference
between the first and second halves of the year with respect to change
in total bank assets. That is, there was a shrinkage during the first half,
with all the annual growth occurring during the second half. This pattern
of change during recent years differs somewhat from that which pre­
vailed prior to 1946. In most earlier years the change in bank assets
was in the same direction during both halves of the year, although,
generally, bank assets either increased less or decreased more during

the first half of the year than in the second half. Data comparing rates
of change in bank assets are given in Table 18.

Components of bank assets and their annual growth rates.
The growth of total assets is not spread evenly among the different types
of assets held by the banks and varies from year to year. As stated in
the report of the Corporation for 1954: “ The growth in total bank assets
during any year may take place in a wide variety of ways. If the best
lending or investing opportunities are found in loans to commercial and
industrial enterprises, banks acquire assets of that type. If they lie in
real estate lending, banks expand their mortgage holdings. Banks may
also expand their assets by purchase of newly issued or previously ex­
isting securities, especially in situations when direct lending opportunities
are less attractive. Such adjustment to the changing needs of the nation’s
economy is likely to result in substantial differences in the annual rates
of growth of various kinds of assets.”
In 1955, loans of banks increased by 17 percent while their holdings of
United States Government obligations decreased by 10 percent. For
comparison, in 1954 loans increased by only 6 percent while holdings of
United States Government obligations increased by 7 percent. Percentage
changes in different types of bank assets for each year from 1947 to
1955 are shown in Table 19.
The differences in growth among types of bank assets have resulted,
over a period of years, in a substantial change in the percentage distribu­
tion of bank assets. At the end of 1955 over two-fifths of bank assets
were loans and less than three-tenths were United States Government
obligations; nine years earlier, only about one-fifth were loans and over
half were obligations of the United States Government.

Types of bank loans and their annual growth rates. The ir­
regularity in rates of growth among the various types of bank assets
extends to the loans made by banks for various purposes. This is indi­
cated by the data in Table 20, which shows the annual rates of change
for six categories of loans.

In 1955, when all loans increased by 17 percent, agricultural loans,
other than farm mortgage loans, decreased by 14 percent, while com­
mercial and industrial loans increased by 24 percent. The rates of change
in the other major categories of loans were closer to the rate for all loans.
The group of bank loans growing most rapidly over the past nine
years is the category known as “ other loans to individuals.” Such loans
are a smaller part of total bank loans than real estate loans or commercial
and industrial loans. There are several kinds of “ other loans to indi­
viduals” for which information is available for insured commercial
banks; and as is indicated in Table 21 the annual changes are often at
quite diverse rates.

In 1955 retail automobile instalment paper, which is the largest
segment of “ other loans to individuals” , held by insured commercial
banks increased by 34 percent, in contrast with a decrease of 3 percent
in 1954. The next largest segment, single-payment loans, increased by
13 percent, slightly more than during the year before.
Assets of insured and noninsured commercial and mutual
savings banks. At the close of 1955, insured commercial banks held
86 percent of the assets of all banks, with the remainder divided as follows:
noninsured commercial banks, 1 percent; insured mutual savings banks,
10 percent; and noninsured mutual savings banks, 3 percent. Table 22
gives the amounts of the principal categories of assets on that date held
by each of these groups of banks.

Deposit growth in 1955 and prior years. Total deposits of all
operating banks at the end of 1955 were $221 billion. The increase
during 1955 was 4.4 percent. As in the case of assets, this was smaller
than the rate of growth of the previous year, but a little above the
average annual growth since 1946.
Variation in the annual change in deposits is similar to that in bank
assets. During the past nine years the annual change in deposits has
ranged from a decrease of 0.4 percent in 1948 to an increase of 6.6 percent
in 1950. During the period of similar length two decades earlier, the
range was from a decrease of 14.8 percent in 1931 to an increase of 18.0
percent in 1934.
As in the case of assets, deposits in recent years have been subject
to substantial shrinkage during the first half of each year. All the annual
growth, including an offset to the first-half decrease, has taken place
during the second half of the year. Again, as in the case of assets, the
differences between the first and second halves of the year are generally
greater than those of two decades ago. Table 23 shows the annual and
half-year changes for each of the years from 1947 to 1955 and from
1927 to 1935.

Components of bank deposits and their annual growth rates.
At the end of 1955, 85 percent of bank deposits were in categories classi­
fied as business and personal, with the remainder divided about equally
between government and interbank deposits. These proportions do
not change much from year to year. Nevertheless, there are differences
from year to year in the annual rates of change in the various types
of deposits. Such variations are shown in Table 24. In the case of business
and personal demand deposits the range was from a decrease of 3 percent
in 1948 to an increase of 10 percent in 1950.

Importance of deposit growth. Bank assets and bank deposits
are both closely related to the economic life of the nation. The loans
and investments of banks provide nearly one-third of the funds borrowed
by enterprises, individuals, and governments. But, whereas this loaning
function of banks is shared with many other institutions, the deposit
function of banks is almost unique. This is because bank deposits are
used as circulating medium and comprise about seven-eighths of the
money supply used by enterprises and individuals in making payments.
Changes in the aggregate amount of bank deposits owned by enter­
prises and individuals are rather closely related to changes in their
expenditures for the goods and services which make up the aggregate
output of the economy. If, for example, the aggregate amount of deposits
is reduced, people can continue their former rate of spending only by
changing their habits regarding the amount of deposits they hold relative
to their expenditures. Such habits change slowly. Consequently, main­
tenance of growth in bank deposits is an essential ingredient of national
economic policy directed toward the maintenance of prosperity and a
growing economy. However, the rate of growth must be kept at a reason­
able rate, for a rapid increase in the circulating medium opens the door
to price inflation and its disturbances to the economy.
Deposits of insured and noninsured commercial and mutual
savings banks. Bank deposits are distributed among insured and
noninsured commercial and mutual savings banks in the same manner
as assets. Table 25 gives the amounts of the principal categories of deposits
held by each of these groups of banks. Percentage changes during the
year 1955 and for the nine-year period from the end of 1946 to the end
of 1955 are also shown in the table.
Both in 1955 and for the period since 1946 the deposits in mutual
savings banks increased more rapidly than those in commercial banks.
Deposits of mutual savings banks are almost entirely savings accounts,
and the growth in such deposits was substantially greater, percentage­
wise, than that of time and savings deposits in commercial banks.

Growth in capital accounts. In most recent years, capital accounts
of banks have increased more rapidly than either bank assets or bank
deposits, thus resulting in gradually rising ratios of capital accounts to
assets and deposits. Table 26 shows the percentage changes in the banks’
total capital accounts in 1955 and the average annual change since 1946
for insured and noninsured commercial and mutual savings banks.
Ratios of total capital accounts to assets and to deposits, as of the end
of the year, for 1946 and for 1954 and 1955 are also given for each group
of banks.

The ratios of the capital accounts of the banks to their assets and
deposits are now substantially lower than they were two decades earlier.
These ratios for all operating banks are shown in Chart C, for each year
from 1926 to 1935 and from 1946 to 1955.

Sources and disposition o f bank incom e. The total income of
insured commercial banks in 1955 was about 3 percent larger than in
1954, and about twice as large as in 1947. The total income of insured
mutual savings banks was 5 percent larger in 1955 than in the preceding
year, and somewhat less than twice as large as in 1947. The sources of
income, for insured commercial banks and for insured mutual savings
banks, and the uses made of this income are shown in Table 27. Com­
parisons are also made with the preceding year and with 1947.
Growth o f bank incom e, 1947 to 1955. In Chart D, the growth in
bank income for the 1947-1955 period, for insured commercial banks
and for insured mutual savings banks, is compared with the increase in
the assets of the banks. This chart is on a ratio scale. On this kind of
a chart, the same percentage change is shown by the same slope of the
lines, even though there may be a great difference in the magnitudes
of the amounts plotted. The rate of growth of income of insured com­
mercial banks, it will be noted, was considerably greater than the in­
crease in bank assets; but the growth of income of insured mutual savings
banks has been at about the same rate as the increase in assets.

Chart E, also on a ratio scale, compares for the two groups of insured
banks the change in holdings of the two major categories of assets,
loans and securities, with the income from those assets. Income from
loans, in the case of insured commercial banks, increased relatively
more than the amount of loans held; while in the case of insured mutual
savings banks, the income from loans increased less rapidly than the
amount of loans. The amounts of securities held by both groups of banks
remained comparatively steady during the nine-year period; the income
from them increased relative to the amounts held, especially for the
insured commercial banks after 1951 and for the insured mutual savings
banks in 1955.

Them ,

Operating earnings and expenses, insured com m ercial banks,
1947 to 1955. In 1955, as in other years, income from loans and securities
constituted about four-fifths of the current income of the insured com­
mercial banks. Their remaining income consists of such items as service
charges on deposits, trust department earnings, and fees from mis­
cellaneous services.
Current operating expenses of insured commercial banks are about
two-thirds of current operating earnings. This proportion has remained
comparatively steady throughout the 1947-1955 period. Salaries and
wages constitute about half the current operating expenses of insured
commercial banks. Other operating expenses include interest paid on
time and savings deposits, interest and discount on borrowed money,
fees to directors and members of committees, taxes other than on net
income, rents, recurring depreciation on banking house and equipment,
and various other items not specified in the reports. Of the total spent



38

FEDERAL

D EP O S IT

C O R PO R A T IO N

for these various types of expense, interest on time deposits constitutes
about a sixth of total current operating expenses; this is about a tenth
of current operating earnings.
Operating earnings and expenses, and interest and dividends
on deposits, insured mutual savings banks, 1947 to 1955. Nearly
all of the income of insured mutual savings banks is derived from loans
and securities. On the expense side, savings banks do not have the
clerical cost of handling checking accounts, as their business is confined
almost entirely to the handling of savings accounts, and amounts paid
to depositors as interest or dividends are not included in current operating
expenses. For these reasons, the current operating expenses of mutual
savings banks, consisting of salaries and wages and miscellaneous ex­
penses, absorb a much smaller part of current operating earnings than
in the case of commercial banks. For insured mutual savings banks,
current operating expenses in 1955 were less than one-fifth of current
operating earnings.
Because the type of operations of savings banks permits smaller
expenses relative to deposits than in the case of commercial banks, and
because in mutual banks the depositors are also the owners, the mutual
savings banks are able to use a larger part of their current operating
earnings for dividends on deposits than the commercial banks use for
interest on deposits. In 1955, the dividends on deposits of insured mutual
savings banks amounted approximately to two-thirds of their current
operating earnings. This proportion has increased in recent years, having
risen from about half of current operating earnings in 1947.
Rates of income. Table 28 shows for each year from 1947 to 1955
the average rate of income on loans, on United States Government
obligations, and on other securities, by insured commercial banks and
by insured mutual savings banks.

BANKS

Insured commercial banks have had a rise in the rate of income on
loans during each of the past nine years, except for a slight decline in
1954. For the period as a whole the rise has been substantial; in 1955
the insured commercial banks received over a fourth more income for
each $100 of loans than they did in 1947. Rates of income received by
the insured commercial banks on their holdings of United States Govern­
ment obligations have also increased in most of the years during this
period, and in 1955 were more than a third higher than in 1947. In con­
trast, there was a relatively small change in the rate of income on other
securities, the 1955 figure being about the same as that in 1947, with
lower rates for all of the intervening years.
In 1955, and during the preceding four years, the average rate of
income on loans received by insured mutual savings banks was lower
than that of insured commercial banks. For the years from 1947 to 1950
the average rate of income on loans received by insured mutual savings
banks had been higher than that of insured commercial banks. For the
nine-year period as a whole, the insured mutual savings banks did not
experience, as did the insured commercial banks, an increase in the rate
of income from loans. This is due primarily to differences in the major
types of loans held. The bulk of the loans of insured mutual savings
banks are loans secured by real estate mortgages. The largest segment
of the loans of insured commercial banks is the industrial and commercial
group, on which interest rates have been rising; and another segment,
that of instalment loans to individuals, on which rates of interest are
generally higher than on other types of loans, has been increasing in
relative importance.
Expense ratios. Expense ratios of insured commercial banks, like
their rates of income, increased steadily during the nine-year period
from 1947 to 1955, whether measured in relation to the amount of assets
of the banks or in relation to the amount of their deposits. Bank expenses
are incurred in part in the handling of assets, but the major part of the
cost of operations of commercial banks is incurred in the handling of
deposit accounts. In Table 29, which gives the more important expense
ratios, the expenses are related to deposits.
In 1955 total operating expenses of the insured commercial banks
amounted to $2.14 for each $100 of deposits, compared with $2.06 the
previous year and $1.44 in 1947. Very close to half of these amounts, in
each of the years, was wages and salaries. Interest paid on time and sav­
ings deposits rose from 0.87 percent in 1947 to 1.38 percent in 1955; and
income from service charges on demand deposits from 0.14 percent to
0.25 percent.
Expense ratios for insured mutual savings banks, which are also given
in Table 29, are likewise related to deposits. The operating expenses of



40

D EP O S IT

IN SU R A N C E

C O R PO R A T IO N

mutual savings banks represent the cost to their depositor-owners of
having funds invested for them under the conditions prescribed by law
for such banks. In 1955 total operating expenses of insured mutual
savings banks amounted to $0.77 for each $100 deposits. This is about
two-fifths of the corresponding ratio for insured commercial banks,
reflecting primarily the absence of costs of handling checking accounts.
Salaries and wages, as in the commercial banks, accounted for nearly
half of total current operating expenses. It may be noted that in the
insured mutual savings banks salaries and wages, and also total current
operating expenses, were no higher relative to deposits than in 1947.

1 For insured commercial banks includes interest on time and savings deposits, which is about
one-sixth of total current operating expenses; for insured mutual savings banks excludes dividends on
time and savings deposits and includes amounts reported for 1951-1955 as “ nonrecurring expenses” .
Because of changes in 1951 in the method of reporting by insured mutual savings banks, data for 19511955 are not strictly comparable with those for previous years nor with those for insured commercial
banks.

The average rate of dividends on time and savings deposits paid by
insured mutual savings banks has increased steadily during the nineyear period, rising from 1.53 percent in 1947 to 2.61 percent in 1955.
These rates throughout the period have been nearly twice the average
rate of interest paid on time and savings deposits by insured commercial
banks.
Allowance for losses and gains on assets disposed of or revalued.
Banks make provision for losses on assets by direct charge-offs or by
transferring earnings to valuation reserve accounts; and on the income
side, recapture some of the values previously charged off and obtain
profits on assets sold at prices higher than they had been carried on
their books.
Allowance for losses by insured commercial banks, through direct
charge-offs and transfers to reserve accounts, was more than a fourth

larger in 1955 than in the previous year; and was equal to 0.35 percent
of the amount of assets held, or to 0.44 percent of such assets excluding
cash and due from banks. The amounts for the two years, and the portion
which related to loans and securities, respectively, are shown in Table
30, with similar data for 1948, the earliest year for which information
is available in the same detail. The same table also shows the amounts
of gains taken into the banks’ income accounts from profits on assets
sold, recoveries on assets previously charged off, and transfers from
reserve accounts. In 1955, as in most previous years but in contrast with
1954, the amounts taken into the income accounts from these sources
were less than the allowance for losses. In 1954 profits on securities sold
had been unusually large.

Recoveries from assets previously charged off excluding those credited to reserve accounts (see

1954, $417 million; and 1948, $60 million.
* Excluding those charged to reserve accounts (see Table 31).
* Not reported separately.

The net additions to reserve accounts by insured commercial banks
brought the amounts of such reserves against loans and securities to
1.67 and 0.30 percent, respectively, of the amounts of such assets held.
The amounts of such reserves, and the changes in them, for each year
from 1948 to 1955, are shown in Table 31.
Insured mutual savings banks also make provision for losses through
charge-offs and transfers of earnings to other accounts, but the accounting
and reporting procedures used are not identical with those used by

savings banks was equal to 0.25 percent of total assets. Their net addi­

Profits o f insured com m ercial banks. Net profits of insured
commercial banks, both before and after income taxes, were less in 1955
than in the previous year. This was due to the unusually large profits
in 1954 on sales of securities. For the six years previous to 1955 the
profits before income taxes of insured commercial banks rose at a much
faster rate than the assets of the banks, as is indicated by the differences
in the slopes of the lines on the left side of Chart F.
In 1955, as in 1954, income taxes took about 41 percent of the net
profits of the insured commercial banks before such taxes, in comparison
with 43 percent in 1953. From 1947 to 1953, the rise in the profits of
the banks before income taxes was accompanied by a relatively larger
portion absorbed by income taxes, as is shown in Table 32. Consequently,
profits after income taxes rose much less rapidly than profits before
income taxes.

In the majority of recent years, net profits after taxes of insured
commercial banks have increased less rapidly than the total capital
accounts of the banks, as may be seen from the slopes of the lines on
the right-hand side of Chart F. The conspicuous exception to this was
in 1954, when the profits on securities sold resulted in a very large amount
of profits, even after payment of income taxes.
The use which the insured commercial banks made of their net profits
after taxes, that is, the amounts of dividends to stockholders and of
additions to capital accounts, are also shown in Table 32 for each year
from 1947 to 1955. In 1955 almost half of the net profits after taxes were
disbursed to stockholders, a larger proportion than in any other year
during this period.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND INSURANCE COVERAGE

D e p o s it I n f o r m a t io n

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation requested a report from
each insured bank on its deposits as of September 21, 1955. The purpose
of this request was to assist the Corporation in estimating its contingent
liability in insuring bank deposits. Such requests have been made at
intervals of from two to four years, the last being in 1951.
Each insured bank was asked to report the number of its deposit
accounts and the amount of deposits in those accounts, with accounts
grouped by size. Four size groupings for accounts were used: $10,000
or less; $10,000 to $25,000; $25,000 to $100,000; and more than $100,000.
Banks were also asked to report these data for each of several types of
accounts: savings and time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations; demand deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corpo­
rations; United States Government deposits; State and local government
deposits; interbank deposits; uninvested trust funds; drafts; and other
items.
The special report requested information on some types of bank
obligations which are not regularly included in deposits as reported in
the statements of assets and liabilities called “ reports of condition” .
The important differences are reciprocal demand balances with other
banks, trust funds redeposited in other banks, and certain outstanding
drafts. Because of these differences the total amount of deposits reported
by banks for the special call exceeds by approximately one percent the
total amount of deposits which banks would have reported on the same
date had they been asked to submit reports of condition. The form and
instructions used by the banks are shown on pages 59-61.
Estimation of insured deposits. Insured deposits are estimated
from the special reports by summing the deposits in all accounts of
$10,000 or less and adding to this an amount equal to $10,000 for each
account with a balance containing more than $10,000. This procedure
yields an estimate for insured deposits which, in most banks, is some­
what different from the amount of deposits for which the Corporation
would be responsible, under the law, if the bank should fail.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides insurance protection
for each depositor to a maximum of $10,000 on deposits maintained by
him in the same right and capacity, after allowing for any applicable
offsets. If a depositor maintains several deposits in the same right and
capacity in the same insured bank, such as a checking account and a
savings account, these deposits would be combined in determining what
amount shall be paid to the depositor by the Corporation if the bank




47

48

FEDERAL

D EP O SIT

IN S U R A N C E

C O R PO R A T IO N

were closed for liquidation. However, if the depositor maintains deposits
in different rights or capacities, they are separately insured up to the
$10,000 maximum in each right or capacity in which the funds are
maintained. For example, if a county tax collector maintains in a custodial
capacity deposits owned by several public units, the deposits of each
public unit would be insured up to $10,000. Banks were not asked either
to combine or to separate accounts for each of their depositors, nor were
they asked to consider any possible offsets. However, it is believed that
there is only a small difference between the amount of insured deposits
estimated from these reports and the amount for which the Corporation
would be responsible in the event of failure of an insured bank.
Because the large majority of accounts are of small size it is probable
that there is little difference between the proportion of accounts with
balances of $10,000 or less (referred to as “ fully protected” ) and the
proportion of depositors fully insured by the Corporation. However,
the number of bank accounts as reported in these special calls is sub­
stantially larger than the actual number of bank depositors.

On September 21, 1955, the 13,498 banks insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation reported 130 million deposit accounts
and total deposits of $203 billion. More than 98 percent of the deposit
accounts had balances of $10,000 or less and were thus tabulated as
fully protected by deposit insurance, while the remaining accounts,
with balances in excess of $10,000, were protected up to the insurance
maximum. Insured deposits on the survey date totaled $112 billion,
or slightly over 55 percent of all deposits in insured banks. Table 33

Extent of deposit insurance. The results of the 1955 survey exhibit
a characteristic of deposit insurance which has been observed in every
special call since 1934, namely, that almost all deposit accounts are fully
protected in all sizes and types of banks, but the proportions of deposits
insured differ markedly among banks. This is simply a reflection of the
fact that there are relatively few accounts with very large deposit
balances, and such accounts are located in the larger banks. The similari­
ties and differences in insurance coverage for banks of various size groups
are evident from Chart G, which shows that banks in both the smallest
and largest size groups have more than 98 percent of their accounts
fully protected, but that the percentage of deposits insured in small banks
is substantially higher than the percentage of deposits insured in large
banks.

The influence of large banks on the data is apparent even when banks
are grouped other ways than by size. Examination of the detailed statistics
in Tables 35 and 36 will show, for example, that banks in major cities
tend to have a smaller proportion of their deposits insured than banks in
smaller population centers, and that the same is true of banks which are
members of the Federal Reserve System when compared with those not
members of the System. Yet no matter how the banks are grouped, the



50

D EP O SIT

C O R PO R A T IO N

proportion of accounts fully protected remains high. Even in those banks
with such large accounts that a small percentage of their deposits are
insured, accounts with balances of $10,000 or less comprise 90 percent
of all accounts.
Mutual savings banks have a much larger proportion of their deposits
insured than do commercial banks. Also, there is no significant difference
among the proportions of deposits insured when mutual savings banks
are grouped by size. These banks, regardless of size, hold almost entirely
savings and time accounts, and many of them are not permitted by
State law to receive deposits in excess of $10,000 from a depositor.

There is considerable range in the proportions of accounts fully pro­
tected and of deposits insured when these data are shown by type of
account. This is illustrated by Chart H, which shows, for example, that
less than one-third of the interbank accounts and less than three-fourths
of the government accounts are fully insured. This compares with account
coverage of from 95 to 99 percent for other types of accounts. The
range is even greater for the proportion of deposits insured in the various
types of accounts. Ninety percent of savings and time deposits are in­
sured but for no other type of account is more than half the deposits
insured. Indeed, the estimates indicate that less than seven percent of



A C C O U N T S A N D D EP O SITS, A L L IN S U R E D B A N K S , S E P T E M B E R

51

the deposits in interbank accounts and only five percent of United States
Government deposits are protected by insurance. However, it should
be remembered that government deposits are usually protected by
surety bonds or by pledge of securities, in addition to deposit insurance.
Concentration o f risk to the Corporation. The fact that a rela­
tively small number of banks holds a large proportion of all deposits
means that the risk to the Corporation as an insurer of bank deposits is
concentrated in certain groups of banks. Such concentrations differ in
degree and significance. Four distributions of insured deposits shown
by the recent survey are illustrated in Chart I.
The degree of concentration of insured deposits, when banks are
grouped by size, is indicated by the fact that more than 45 percent of
these deposits were in only two percent of the banks. Indeed, the six
banks falling in the largest size category, which constituted less than
one-twentieth of 1 percent of all insured banks, held insured deposits
amounting to about $9 billion; this was more than five times the amount
in the Corporation’s deposit insurance fund.
Another type of concentration may be observed when the insured
banks are grouped according to the Federal supervisory authorities to
which they are accountable. Banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System, which are examined by representatives of the Comp­
troller of the Currency or the Federal Reserve banks, constitute slightly
less than half of all insured banks. On the report date these banks held
about two-thirds of the insured deposits. Thus, although the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation regularly examines the majority of
insured banks, the greater proportion of the deposits it insures is in those
banks not usually subject to its examination.
The distribution of insured banks and insured deposits by location
provides additional illustrations of the concentration of insured deposits.
As would be anticipated from knowledge of the size distribution of banks,
data secured from the 1955 survey show that insured deposits are con­
centrated in large cities. Cities with 100,000 population or more serve as
the headquarters for less than 8 percent of all insured banks, but these
banks hold well over half of the insured deposits. In fact, $18 billion of
insured deposits, or about 16 percent of the total, were located in the
banks in New York City.
The concentration of insured deposits in large cities is reflected in the
distribution of insured deposits among States. Banks in 16 States in
the northeast and north central sections of the country held almost
two-thirds of all insured deposits on the report date, but these banks
constitute less than half of all insured banks. By way of contrast, insured
banks in an equal number of States in the south and southwest had less

than a fifth of the insured deposits, though they comprise one-third

The risks of the Corporation are not always in direct proportion to
the amount of insured deposits. Banks with a large proportion of their
deposits uninsured generally hold large amounts of interbank deposits:
a receivership of such a bank will cause difficulties in other banks and
thus is likely to result in more loss to the Corporation than failure of a
smaller bank with the same amount of insured deposits. Consequently,
the distribution of total deposits in insured banks has an important
bearing on the potential liability and risk of the Corporation. Total
deposits are more highly concentrated than insured deposits in the large
banks, in banks in large cities, and in the banks which are not regularly
examined by the Corporation.
Fully protected accounts and insured deposits with higher
maximum insurance limits. From time to time inquiries are made
about account and deposit protection which would prevail under higher
coverage limits for each depositor. The reports for September 21, 1955,
provided an opportunity to secure such information for assumed coverage
limits of $25,000 and of $100,000. Of course, if either coverage had
actually been in effect on the report date the distribution of deposits
might have been different, but there is no evidence that this seriously
distorts the estimates. Chart J shows the proportion of accounts fully
protected and of deposits insured under the three coverage limits.

Under the insurance limit of $10,000 only about two million of the
130 million accounts in all insured banks, or 1.8 percent, were not fully
protected by insurance. Thus higher maximum insurance coverage could
not have much effect on the proportion of accounts now completely in­
sured. If insurance coverage had been $25,000 for each depositor an
additional million and a half accounts would have been fully protected,
raising the proportion of fully protected accounts from the present 98.2
percent to 99.5 percent. Had the maximum for each depositor been
$100,000 on the report date, still another half million accounts would
have been completely covered, leaving only one-tenth of 1 percent of
all accounts not fully protected by insurance.
A higher maximum coverage for each depositor would have more effect
on the proportion of deposits insured than on the proportion of accounts
fully protected. Whereas about 55 percent of total deposits were insured
on the report date under the present limitation, this proportion would
have been about 64 percent under $25,000 coverage and 75 percent
under $100,000 coverage; the total of insured deposits would have been
$128.8 billion and $152.6 billion respectively.

1934-1955

The call of September 21, 1955, was the eighth request for special
reports on deposits from all insured banks. The first such request was
made as of October 1, 1934, at which time banks combined accounts
to show the number of depositors and their deposit balances. Subsequent
requests, beginning in 1936, asked only for the number of accounts and
the deposits in those accounts. Table 34 summarizes the data secured
from the eight special calls.
Accounts in insured banks, 1936-1955. The number of bank
accounts reported as of the most recent special call date was more than
twice the number reported on the special call of 1936. Fully protected
accounts, i.e., accounts with balances not exceeding the insurance maxi­
mum, have increased by almost the same extent between these two dates,
so that the percentage of accounts fully protected in 1955 was only
slightly lower than the comparable percentage in 1936. However, the
number of fully protected accounts has increased relatively less than
the number of all accounts during each of the periods between special
call dates, except from 1949 to 1951. The 1950 statutory increase in
maximum insurance coverage for each depositor from $5,000 to $10,000
brought enough additional accounts into the fully protected category
to bring account protection in 1951 slightly above the 1936 percentage.

1
Not strictly comparable with data for later years because accounts belonging to the same depositor
were combined.

The decline in the proportion of accounts fully protected, except when
coverage for each depositor was changed in 1950, is a consequence of
deposits increasing faster than the number of accounts. This has resulted
in the number of accounts larger than the insurance maximum rising
at a faster rate than the total number of accounts.
The different rates of increase of accounts and deposits are reflected
in changes in the average size of account, as shown in Chart K. It will
be observed that during the late 1930’s and the years embracing World
War II deposits grew so much more rapidly than the number of accounts
that the average size of account approximately doubled. By 1945 it
reached $1,500 and has since remained at about that level.
The relative stability in size of account since 1945 has been due to
offsetting changes in the sizes of the two types of individual, partnership,
and corporation accounts, which together comprise more than 90 percent
of all bank accounts. As shown in Chart K, demand accounts of indi­
viduals, partnerships, and corporations have declined slightly in average
size since 1945, whereas the average size of savings and time accounts
has continued to increase.
Chart K also shows that the number of accounts has grown more rapidly
than has the population. Whereas there were only 45 bank accounts
for each one hundred population in 1936 the number has gone up on
each special call date and on September 21, 1955, was equal to 77 ac­
counts. This growing utilization of banking services is a consequence
of the economic prosperity which has characterized much of the period
since 1936, and also is due to successful efforts by banks to make an
increasing variety of deposit facilities available to the public. In addition,
it may reflect efforts of depositors to give themselves more insurance
protection by dividing what would otherwise be single accounts into
two or more accounts and distributing them among two or more banks.

Deposits in insured banks, 1934-1955. Deposits in insured banks
on the 1955 special call date were more than five times the amount
reported for the first special call in 1934. The relative increase in insured
deposits between the first and most recent call dates has been even
greater, so that the percentage of deposits insured in 1955 was sub­
stantially above that which prevailed at the beginning of deposit in­
surance. The factor which was most influential in raising the proportion
of deposits insured to its present level was the statutory increase in
coverage for each depositor in 1950. The percentage of deposits insured
rose from about 49 percent to 54 percent between the 1949 and 1951
special call dates, although data available from the 1951 special call
revealed that the percentage of deposits insured would have declined
between 1949 and 1951 had insurance coverage remained at the old
level. Table 34 shows changes in the amount of insured deposits and in
the percentage of deposits insured.
During the four years since the 1951 special call there has been a
slight increase in the proportion of deposits insured. This is explained
by the fact that demand deposits (of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations) in accounts of $10,000 or less grew more rapidly than
those in larger-sized demand accounts, resulting in an increase in the
proportion of demand deposits insured. This was more than sufficient
to offset a decline in the proportion of savings and time deposits insured.

The very considerable growth in deposits, coupled with the decline
in the number of insured banks since 1934, has resulted in a large shift
in the distribution of insured banks by size, as measured by the amount
of their deposits. For example, in 1934 more than 75 percent of the
banks participating in Federal deposit insurance had less than $1 million
of deposits; in 1955 only 14 percent were in that size category. Chart L
illustrates the changes which have occurred in the distribution of in­
sured deposits by size of bank.

1934-1955

As banks increase in size they tend to hold larger amounts of unin­
sured balances. Thus another consequence of the change in the size
distribution of insured banks is seen when banks are grouped by the
percent of their deposits insured. In 1955, with $10,000 coverage for
each depositor, there were about 2,700 banks with 90 percent or more
of their deposits insured, whereas there were more than 5,000 such banks
in 1936 when the coverage limit was only $5,000 for each depositor.

with the banks grouped by State, by class, by size, by population of

For detailed statistics on insured deposits and fully protected accounts,
the reader should consult Tables 35-36 or Tables 51-53. The first set of
tables contains such information for all insured banks combined. The
data and banks are grouped in the ways previously described and, in
addition, there is a special grouping of banks by cities with more than
500,000 population. The second set of tables (51-53) contains somewhat
similar information (except for the special groupings of banks by major
cities) for insured commercial banks and for insured mutual savings
banks. In addition, Tables 51-53 provide information on accounts which
would be fully protected and deposits which would be insured under
maximum coverage of $25,000 and $100,000 for each depositor.
Tables 37-50 contain the basic data from which computations of
insured deposits and fully protected accounts were made. Each such
table relates either to insured commercial banks or to insured mutual
savings banks, and shows, for various groupings of banks, the distribu­
tion of accounts or deposits as reported on the survey date.

All deposit liabilities of the bank—with certain exceptions noted for items 7 and
8 below—should be included at items 1 through 8 of this statement even though
some of these deposits may be: (a) permissible exclusions or deductions for assessment
purposes in preparing Certified Statements; or, (b) excluded from deposits for Report
of Condition purposes. For the purpose of this report include commercial, checking,
savings, time, thrift accounts, certificates of deposit, officers’ or cashiers’ checks,
travelers’ checks, certified checks, outstanding drafts, letters of credit, and trust
funds held in the trust department or on deposit in any other department of the
bank or redeposited in other banks.
The deposit classifications correspond with the usual ledger and condition report
items, with the exception o f:
Item 6, “ Trust funds,” which is found only in banks having trust powers and
which is computed from the records of the trust department. The item “ Trust
funds” means all trust funds (principal and/or income cash) retained in cash
in the trust department, or deposited in the commercial or savings department
of the bank, or deposited in any other bank, and trust department checks out­
standing. Do not deduct overdrafts, if any, unless such overdrafts may legally
be offset by a cash balance in a related trust department account. Each trust
department account reflecting trust funds (principal and/or income cash, in­
cluding cash deposited in savings and checking accounts), as shown in the records
of the trust department, should be reported as a separate account;
Item 7, “ Outstanding bank drafts,” which is to be determined by the bank
as of September 21, 1955. Include outstanding drafts drawn on a correspondent
or a Federal Reserve bank, other than those issued for purposes of the bank’ s
own transactions (i.e., for transfer of funds from one correspondent bank to
another, payment of expense items, or purchase of securities for the bank’s own
portfolio); and
Item 8, “ All other deposits,” which will include letters of credit issued for
cash; bank money orders; certified and travelers’ checks outstanding; officers’
checks outstanding other than those issued for purposes of the bank’s own trans­
actions; and amounts due to Federal Reserve bank (transit account) represented
by authorizations (other than outstanding drafts) to charge the reporting bank’s
clearing balance or reserve account.

Report in the column “ Amount of deposits” the bank’s deposit liabilities, by type
of deposit and size of account. Show in the column “ Number of accounts” the number
of accounts corresponding to these deposits. The entire amount of an account should
be included under the appropriate subitem. For example, the entire $17,493.65 of
an account of $17,493.65 should be placed in subitem (g) headed “ $10,000.01 to
$25,000.00.” Do not enter $10,000.00 in subitem (f) headed “ $10,000.00 or less”
and $7,493.65 in subitem (g) headed “ $10,000.01 to $25,000.00.” Only those ac­
counts the entire balance of which does not exceed $10,000.00 should be included in
subitem (f) headed “ $10,000.00 or less.”
For the purposes of this report, kindly note that:
Accounts should not be combined. Each account standing to the credit of
a depositor, whether or not in the same capacity and the same right, should be
considered a separate account. The number of accounts reported should agree
with the number of accounts on the books of the bank. If school savings are
carried as one account, one account should be reported; if school savings ac­
counts are entered individually the total number of such accounts should be
reported.
Each dormant and inactive account should be reported as a separate account.
Report as a separate account each outstanding certificate of deposit, letter
of credit sold for cash, outstanding draft, certified and officer’s check. However,
all travelers’ checks outstanding in the same name should be combined and
reported as one account.

The amendments of the rules and regulations of the Corporation, referred to on
pages 17 and 18, are as follows:
1. Section 329.0 of the rules and regulations of the Corporation was amended,
effective December 7, 1955, to read as follows:
§ 329.0 Scope. The regulation contained in this part relates to the payment of
deposits and interest thereon by insured nonmember banks. This part is not applicable
to banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System. Regulation Q (Part 217
of this title), prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
for banks which are members of that System, is not applicable to insured banks which
are not members of the Federal Reserve System, except to the extent that the State
law of a particular State provides otherwise. The provisions of this part do not apply
to mutual savings banks, or to guaranty savings banks operating in the State of New
Hampshire so long as said guaranty savings banks operate substantially under and
pursuant to the laws of the State of New Hampshire pertaining to mutual savings
banks and do not engage in commercial banking, or to any deposit in a bank located

2. Paragraph (e) of Section 329.1 of the rules and regulations of the Corporation
was amended, effective May 16, 1955, by the addition of the following subparagraph:
(5) The term “ savings deposit” also means a deposit evidenced by a written receipt
or agreement although not by a pass book, consisting of funds of the kind described
above in this paragraph and in respect to which deposit the depositor is required, or
may at any time be required, by the bank to give notice in writing of an intended
withdrawal not less than thirty (30) days before such withdrawal is made, and with­
drawals are permitted only through payment to the depositor himself but not to any
other person whether or not acting for the depositor.5*
6a Payment may be made to the depositor over the counter, through the mails or otherwise.

Insurance Act and rules and regulations of the Corporation, were published in the
Federal Register of May 14, 1955 (20 F.R. 3306-3328). Copies of these assessment
decisions have been furnished to each insured bank.

Section 3 of the Description of Organization of the Corporation, which was published
in the Federal Register of March 27, 1954 (19 F.R. 1681), was amended and published
in the Federal Register of August 24, 1955 (20 F.R. 6198), as follows:
S e c . 3. Delegation of final authority— (a) General. Except as otherwise provided
by rule, or to the extent that there is involved any function of the Corporation re­
quiring confidentiality in the public interest or any matter relating solely to the
internal management of the Corporation, or with respect to matters which generally
involve conditions or circumstances requiring prompt action in the field for the better
protection of the interests of the Corporation and to achieve flexibility and expedition
in its operations and in the exercise of its functions, such as arise in connection with
the Corporation’s litigation and liquidation matters and with the payment of claims
for insured deposits, delegations of final authority by the Board of Directors within
the statutory meaning of that phrase are set forth in this section. Any person having
a proper and direct concern therein may ascertain the scope of authority of any officer,
agent, or employee of the Corporation by communicating with the Secretary of the
Corporation.

(b) Reports of condition. Authority is delegated to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors to designate the date as of which each insured State bank, which is not a
member of the Federal Reserve System or a District bank, shall make a report of its
condition as required by the Board of Directors pursuant to section 10 (e) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U. S. C. 1820 (e) ).
(c) To assure continuous performance of functions. For the purpose of assuring
the performance of and continuity in the management functions and activities of the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has delegated, to the extent deemed necessary,
authority with respect to the management of the Corporation’s affairs to certain
designated persons, such authority to be exercised only in the event of an emergency,
involving an enemy attack on the continental United States or other warlike occur­
rence, which renders the Board of Directors unable to perform the management
functions and activities normally performed by it.
(d) Assessment decisions. Authority is delegated to the Controller and the General
Counsel jointly to promulgate and to amend assessment decisions as interpretative
rulings of the Corporation with reference to provisions of the Federal Deposit In­
surance Act and the Corporation’s rules and regulations relating to assessment and
from time to time to publish such assessment decisions and amendments thereof in
the F e d e r a l R e g i s t e r .
(e) Extension of time in which to establish a branch or change location of main office
or branch. Authority is delegated to the Chief of the Division of Examination to
extend the time given a bank by the Board of Directors in which to establish a branch
or change the location of its main or branch office, but such extension shall not exceed
two periods of the same duration each as that prescribed originally by the Board of
Directors.
(f) Exclusion from insured bank advertisements of the official advertising statement.
Authority is delegated to the General Counsel to consent, pursuant to § 328.2 (d)
(10) of Title 12, Code of Federal Regulations, to the exclusion of the Official ad­
vertising statement from advertisements which are of the type or character making
it impractical to include such statement therein.

Number and deposits of operating banks in the United States (continental U. S.

Banks grouped according to insurance status and by district and State

The line of demarcation between banks and other types of financial
institutions is not always clear. In these tables provision of deposit
facilities for the general public is the chief criterion. However, trust
companies engaged in general fiduciary business though not in deposit
banking are included; and credit unions and savings and loan associa­
tions are excluded except in the case of a few which accept deposits
under the terms of special charters.




The tabulations for all banks and trust companies are prepared in
accordance with an agreement among the Federal bank supervisory
agencies. Deposit data are tabulated from individual reports of assets
and liabilities of the banks included. Institutions included are classified
in three groups: commercial and stock savings banks, nondeposit
trust companies, and mutual savings banks. However, the second
category does not apply to insured banks.

The data in these tables relate to banks operating in the United
States (continental U. S. and other areas). Data from the same tabu­
lations for all operating banks in each State and other area are also
shown in the Corporation’s publication, “ Assets, Liabilities, and
Capital Accounts, Commercial and Mutual Savings Banks,” as follows:
For June 30, 1955

Statements of assets and liabilities are submitted by insured com­
mercial banks upon either a cash or an accrual basis, depending upon
the bank’s method of bookkeeping. Assets reported represent aggregate
book value, on the date of call, less valuation and premium reserves.

Other insured banks: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Noninsured banks: State banking authorities; Rand McNally Rankers
Directory; Polk’s Bankers Encyclopedia; and reports from individual
banks.

BANKS

State banks members of the Federal Reserve System: Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

OPERATING




National banks and State banks in the District of Columbia not
members of the Federal Reserve System: Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency.

OF

Individual loan items are reported gross instead of net of valuation
reserves. Accordingly, reserves for losses on loans are shown separately.

S ou rces o f d a ta

LIABILITIES

Demand balances with and demand deposits due to banks in the
United States, except private banks and American branches of foreign
banks, exclude reciprocal interbank deposits. Reciprocal interbank
deposits arise when two banks maintain deposit accounts with each
other.

Asset and liability data for noninsured banks are tabulated from
reports pertaining to the individual banks. In a few cases these reports
are not as detailed as those submitted by insured banks, and some of
the items reported have been allocated to more detailed categories
according to the distribution of asset and liability data for insured
State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System or for other
noninsured banks.

AND

In the case of banks with one or more domestic branches, the assets
and liabilities reported are consolidations of figures for the head office
and all domestic branches. In the case of a bank with foreign branches,
net amounts due from its own foreign branches are included in “ Other
assets,” and net amounts due to its own foreign branches are included
in “ Other liabilities.” Branches outside the continental United States
of insured banks in the United States are treated as separate entities
but as in the case of other branches are not included in the count of
banks. Data for such branches are not included in the figures for the
States in which the parent banks are located. Asset and liability data
for nine branches in Puerto Rico of two banks in New York are included
with insured bank figures for Puerto Rico and for all insured banks.

Total deposits shown in these tables are not the same as the deposits
upon which assessments paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor­
poration are based. The assessment base is slightly lower due to certain
exclusions which are permitted and deductions which may be claimed.

ASSETS

Assets and liabilities held in or administered by a savings, bond,
insurance, real estate, foreign, or any other department of a bank,
except a trust department, are consolidated with the respective assets
and liabilities of the commercial department. “ Deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations” include trust funds deposited by a trust
department in a commercial or savings department. Other assets held
in trust are not included in statements of assets and liabilities.

Instalment loans are ordinarily reported net if the instalment pay­
ments are applied directly to the reduction of the loan. Such loans are
reported gross if, under contract, the payments do not immediately
reduce the unpaid balances of the loan but are assigned or pledged to
assure repayment at maturity.

Commercial banks
Reports of earnings, expenses, and dividends are submitted to the
Federal supervisory agencies on either a cash or an accrual basis.
Earnings data are included for all insured banks operating at the end
of the respective years, unless indicated otherwise. In addition, appro­
priate adjustments have been made for banks in operation during part
of the year but not at the end of the year. Data for 9 insured branches
in Puerto Rico of insured banks in New York are not available.
The uniform report of earnings and dividends for commercial banks
was revised in 1948 to show separately for the first time charge-offs and
transfers to valuation reserves as well as recoveries and transfers from
valuation reserves. Also, the actual recoveries and losses that are credited
and charged to valuation reserves were reported as memoranda items.
Averages of assets and liabilities shown in Tables 108-111 and 114 are
based upon figures at the beginning, middle, and end of each year, as
reported by banks operating on those dates, adjusted to exclude asset
and liability figures for insured branches in Puerto Rico of insured
banks in New York. Consequently, the asset and liability averages
are not strictly comparable with the earnings data, but the differences
are not large enough to affect the totals significantly. Some further
in comparability is also introduced into the data by class of bank by
shifts between those classes during the year.
Assets and liabilities shown in Table 112, and utilized for computation




of ratios shown in Table 113, are for the identical banks to which the
earnings data pertain. The assets and liabilities are as of December 31,
1955.
Mutual savings banks
A uniform report of income, expenses, and dividends for mutual sav­
ings banks was adopted by the Corporation for the calendar year 1951.
Summaries of these reports for 1951-1955 are given in Tables 115 and
116. Data prior to 1951 are omitted because of lack of comparability.
The new form attempts to present operations on a basis accurately
reflecting actual income and profit and loss, and provides more detailed
information regarding losses and valuation adjustments. For a discussion
of the history and principles of this uniform report see pp. 50-52 in
Part Two of the 1951 Annual Report.
Sources of data
National banks, and State banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System in the District of Columbia: Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
State banks members of the Federal Reserve System: Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Other insured banks: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Noninsured bank failures
INSURANCE

Disbursem ents by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
to protect depositors are made when insured banks in financial
difficulties are placed in receivership, or when the deposits of a failing
bank are assumed by another insured bank with the financial aid of the
Corporation. In receiverships the disbursement is the amount paid by
the Corporation on insured deposits. In deposit assumption cases the
principal disbursement is the amount loaned to failing banks, or the
price paid for assets purchased from them; additional disbursements
are made in those cases as advances for protection of assets in process
of liquidation and for liquidation expenses.
