The economy is slowly recovering, but several locally chartered banks are still struggling to regain their footing after a downturn that left them with piles of loans gone bad.
According to the latest ratings from BauerFinancial, a widely watched service that tracks the industry, six banks in the region received two or fewer stars. A five-star rating is the highest, indicating a healthy financial institution. Ratings below three stars signal trouble.
