Treasury helps 10 banks
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department says it has pumped $29.3 million into 10 banks, which will be the last to receive investments as part of the taxpayer-funded program to shore up the financial system.
The aid comes from a $700 billion financial bailout program created last year during the height of the financial crisis. The investments in the 10 banks reported Thursday are the last under Treasury's so-called Capital Purchase Program, Treasury officials said.
