BankUnited

    BankUnited is a savings and loan association based in Miami Lakes, Florida. It was seized by U.S. financial regulators and immediately handed over to a new holding company on 21 May 2009, in the second largest bank failure of the Financial crisis of 2007–2010. The latest information before the bankruptcy credited BankUnited with about 2.1% of all deposits in Florida, ranking it 8th in the state.
