The largest bank failure in U.S. history was Washington Mutual, also known as WaMu, which went into receivership by the FDIC on September 25, 2008. Its failure was due to high-risk mortgage lending and a decline in the housing market. Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, and Wells Fargo are all still operating and did not experience the same level of failure as Washington Mutual.
