FDIC Bank Institutions Scraper

FDIC Bank Institutions Scraper

Scrape FDIC bank institution profiles for every US bank, filtered by state and active status. Each row returns the institution's name, FDIC certificate number, headquarters location, class, regulator, and current status. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The FDIC's BankFind Suite requires manual lookups and doesn't offer bulk export of institution records. This Actor reads the public FFIEC institution directory directly, letting you pull a list of all US banks or filter by any state and active status. You get a clean, flat dataset without writing a single line of code.

Who uses it	What they scrape FDIC FFIEC for
Fintech compliance teams	Build a master list of active, FDIC-insured banks for partnership due diligence.
Market researchers	Map the banking landscape in a specific state to identify market saturation or gaps.
Data journalists	Download the complete roster of US banks to cross-reference with other public datasets.
Bank consultants	Generate a targeted prospect list of institutions by state and charter class.

What it does

This Actor collects FDIC-insured institution profiles from the FFIEC directory and returns each bank as a flat row with its certificate number, name, address, class, and regulator.

• 🏦 Bulk institution profiles: Pull up to a million FDIC-insured bank records in a single run.
• 🗺️ State-level filtering: Limit results to a specific US state or territory using its two-letter abbreviation.
• ✅ Active-only toggle: Return only institutions currently open and insured, excluding closed or inactive banks.
• 📄 Flat row output: Every bank is one row, ready for spreadsheets, databases, or further analysis.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your state abbreviation is correct and that you haven't set 'Only active banks' to true in a state where all institutions are inactive. Try setting the state to blank and active to false to see all records.

The run finished but I expected more institutions.

The 'Maximum institutions' field caps the output. Increase this number and run again. Also confirm your state and active filters aren't narrowing results more than you intended.

Can I get branch addresses instead of headquarters?

This Actor returns institution-level records with headquarters addresses. For branch-level locations and deposit data, use the FDIC Deposit Market Share or Branch Churn actors from the same developer.

The data looks different from the FDIC website.

The FFIEC directory is updated regularly by the FDIC. If you notice a discrepancy, wait 24 hours and run again. The Actor always pulls the latest public data at run time.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What data does this Actor return for each bank?	Each row includes the institution's legal name, FDIC certificate number, headquarters city and state, charter class, primary federal regulator, and active status. The exact field list is shown in the sample output on the Actor's page.
Can I filter by bank type or charter class?	The input schema lets you filter by state and active status. If you need to filter by charter class after the run, you can do so in your spreadsheet or database using the class field returned in each row.
Does this include credit unions?	No. This Actor scrapes the FDIC FFIEC directory, which covers FDIC-insured banks and savings institutions. Credit unions are regulated by the NCUA and are not included.
How many institutions can I pull in one run?	You can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 institutions. The full FDIC-insured universe is well under that limit, so you can pull the entire US bank list in a single run.
Is the data live or cached?	The Actor reads the FFIEC public directory at run time, so you get the current institution list as maintained by the FDIC.
What does the 'active' filter do?	When set to true, the Actor returns only institutions with an active, insured status. Closed, merged, or otherwise inactive banks are excluded from the output.
Can I get branch-level data with this Actor?	No. This Actor returns institution-level headquarters records. For branch-level data, including deposit market share and branch churn, see the related FDIC actors listed below.
Do I need an FDIC API key or login?	No. The Actor reads the same public directory that the FDIC website uses. No registration, API key, or authentication is required.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform after the run completes.
