scapegoat bank
Roskapankki on idiomi Suomessa, yritys hyötyä kaatuneiden pankkien velkaantuneiden asiakkaiden kustannuksella esim: "Roskapankki hoitaa mm. Suomen Säästöpankilta
periytyneitä kiinteistöjä ja muita ongelma-asiakkaita. ... " Otti "syntipukin" osan.
...Kaatuihan se sitten itsekin.
Silkka arvaus tietenkin "scapegoat bank"

Comment: "Thanks for the suggestion - I finished up with 'trash bank',
a simple and literal translation. This term is only used in Finland,
apparently, so if you spot it in English in the future, you'll know where
it came from!
All good wishes,
Annira"

unsecured bank
In the US, FDIC member banks are secure in the sense that they are backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
This is not to say that all unsecured banks are "pirate banks" but the term would include them.
