Seven more banks were seized by regulators last week, pushing the total number of failed banks to 103 for the year.
At this rate, it appears more FDIC-insured banks will be shuttered this year than in the three previous years combined (130 in 2009, 25 in 2008 and three in 2007).

SouthwestUSA Bank, of Las Vegas, which was sold to Plaza Bank, which is based in Irvine, Calif.
