U.S. Bank Earnings Up 21% As Loan Losses Decline, FDIC Says
For the 12th straight quarter, U.S. bank profits increased. At $34.5 billion, they were 21 percent higher than a year earlier, and, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), balance sheets were less risky.

The number of institutions on FDIC's list of banks deemed to be at greater risk of collapse fell for a fifth straight quarter. By August, 40 banks had failed in 2012. The FDIC's deposit insurance fund, which protects customer accounts up to $250,000 against bank failure, increased.
