FDIC closes Arizona bank
STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Saturday, July 26, 2008 12:04 AM MST
The 1st National Bank of Arizona was closed Friday by federal regulators.
The branch at 2167 McCulloch Blvd. will be busy today as personnel from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and local bank employees work the weekend so the branch can reopen Monday, said David Barr, a FDIC spokesman.
1st National Bank of Arizona was part of the closure ordered for 1st National Bank of Nevada. The Arizona bank merged with the First National Bank of Nevada June 30.
Regulators closed the 28 branches of First National Bank of Nevada and First Heritage Bank, operating in Nevada, Arizona and California. There are 15 branches in Arizona.
The banks, owned by Scottsdale-based First National Bank Holding Co., were scheduled to reopen on Monday as Mutual of Omaha Bank branches, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said.
The FDIC said the takeover of the failed banks was the least costly resolution and all depositors — including those with funds in excess of FDIC insurance limits — will switch to Mutual of Omaha with “the full amount of their deposits.â€
The FDIC also said accountholders can access their funds during the weekend by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards.As of June 30, the closed banks had total assets of $3.6 billion. That’s down from $4.1 billion six months earlier. Most of the assets are in 1st National while First Heritage accounts for $254 million.
