Regulators have shut down three banks in Puerto Rico, bringing the number of U.S. bank failures this year to 60.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Friday took over the banks: Westernbank Puerto Rico, based in Mayaguez, with about $11.9 billion in assets; R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, based in Hato Rey, with around $5.9 billion in assets; and San Juan-based Eurobank, with $2.5 billion in assets.

Banco Popular de Puerto Rico agreed to acquire the deposits and about $9.4 billion of Westernbank's assets. The FDIC will keep the remainder for eventual sale. Scotiabank de Puerto Rico agreed to buy all the assets and deposits of R-G Premier Bank. And Oriental Bank and Trust is acquiring all the assets and deposits of Eurobank.
