Nano Banc becomes the sixth U.S. bank failure of 2026

California regulators closed Irvine-based Nano Banc and appointed the FDIC receiver. Nano had about $736 million in assets and $686 million in deposits at the end of June. Sunwest Bank assumed substantially all deposits and bought about $476 million of assets. The FDIC estimates the failure will cost its Deposit Insurance Fund about $114 million.
