FDIC gets down to business

FDIC bank receivers were relatively inactive over the December holidays and immediately afterward. Now they're digging in. Today they seized two banks and a thrift, as many institutions as they had processed for the rest of January. Cost to the insurance fund for Ocala and Suburban alone: $225 million.

Taken this evening are:

Ocala National Bank, Ocala, Florida, with approximately $223.5 million in assets and approximately $205.2 million in deposits, was closed. CenterState Bank of Florida, Winter Haven, Florida has agreed to assume all non-brokered deposits. (PR-14-2009)

Suburban Federal Savings Bank, Crofton, Maryland, with approximately $360.0 million in assets was closed. Bank of Essex, Tappahannock, Virginia has agreed to assume all deposits (approximately $302.0 million). (PR-13-2009)

MagnetBank, Salt Lake City, Utah, with approximately $292.2 million in assets and approximately $282.8 million in deposits was approved for payout by the FDIC Board of Directors. (PR-12-2009)
