Context

On August 27, 1986, regulators closed Metropolitan FS&LA, headquartered in Hialeah, FL. At closing, the institution held approximately $49.8M in assets and $49.9M in deposits. The FDIC record does not name an acquiring institution.

By total assets in its last filing before closing, this is the 1660th largest of the 3,526 bank failures in the FDIC record, and the 46th of 162 in 1986. It falls in the period the record labels S&L / Banking Crisis (1980-1995), a period with 2,367 failures peaking at 530 in 1989.

Deregulation, interest-rate shocks, and commercial real estate blowups produced the worst US banking failure wave since the Depression. Resulted in FIRREA (1989) and the RTC.
