Factbox-US regulators single out four banks for flawed 'living wills'

(Reuters) - U.S. bank regulators said four major banks had shortcomings in their "living wills" - or plans that outline how they could be safely wound down if they went bankrupt or came under pressure.

The four lenders - Citigroup, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase - all had problems related to the plan to unwind their derivatives portfolios, although some of the specific issues varied, the regulators said.

Here is a selection of the comments:
