"US President Barack Obama has warned that more US banks are likely to fail, as the full extent of their losses in the economic crisis becomes clear.
Speaking to NBC News, Mr Obama said "some banks won't make it" but stressed that people's deposits would be safe.
He has also asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to draw up guidelines for banks receiving taxpayers' money.
"If a bank or a financial institution is getting relief then they've got to abide by certain conditions," he said.
The president has been critical of bank executives receiving bonuses despite taking government bail-outs.
In an interview with NBC to be aired on Monday, Mr Obama said it was likely the banks had not yet fully acknowledged the extent of their losses.
"The banks, because of mismanagement, because of huge risk-taking, are now in a very vulnerable position," he said.
"We can expect that we're going to have to do more to shore up the financial system."
