Having a hard time finding any numbers about it, but how many banks fail in the US compared to Europe? And once they fail, how long time does it take to give people the money they are guaranteed via the insurances?

Supposedly, many countries in Europe require banks to have at least 100% collateral of deposits, this should mean resolution in the case of failure be much easier + bank runs less likely to happen, as people can feel safer that their funds actually exists in the bank is liquidity. Unless the bank is operating fraudulently that is.
