Context

On March 18, 1987, regulators closed Perpetual SB, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. At closing, the institution held approximately $62.5M in assets and $59.7M in deposits. The FDIC record does not name an acquiring institution.

By assets at closing this is the 1496th largest of the 3,526 bank failures in the FDIC record, and the 46th of 217 in 1987. 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.
