N.C. banks have $400 million in TARP outstanding

Three years after the U.S. government's bank bailout, nearly two-dozen North Carolina-based banks still have $409 million in TARP money on their books.

In late 2008, the government began purchasing $204.9 billion of preferred stock and warrants in 707 banks through TARP's Capital Purchase Program. Through Thursday, the Treasury had received $211 billion in repayments and interest and dividends.

But it still has $16.8 billion outstanding from 372 banks, according to research from financial services firm Keefe, Bruyette and Woods.

Birmingham, Ala., based Regions Financial Corp. has the most outstanding TARP money, with $3.5 billion. The bank has a modest presence in Charlotte.

Among North Carolina-based banks, Greensboro's NewBridge Bancorp has the most, at $52 million.

The rest are as follows, per KBW's data:
  • FNB United, Asheboro: $52 million (though this is being converted to common stock at a discount as part of the bank's recapitalization and merger)
  • Yadkin Valley Financial Corporation, Elkin: $49 million
  • Southern Community Financial Corp., Winston-Salem: $43 million
  • BNC Bancorp (Bank of North Carolina), Thomasville: $31 million
