Among the banks given the warnings were Citizens Financial (NYSE:CFG), Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) and M&T Bank Corp (NYSE:MTB), the report added.

The notices touched on a wide range of issues including lenders’ capital and liquidity as well as technology and compliance, according to the report.

The Fed and M&T Bank declined to comment. While Citizens Financial and Fifth Third did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Banks are dealing with the aftermath of the biggest crisis to hit the sector since 2008, which saw three mid-sized lenders collapse earlier this year.

The failures exposed vulnerabilities of lenders to rising interest rates and showed how fast spooked customers can pull deposits, triggering a bank run.
