Arcola Homestead Savings Bank, which had $17 million in assets and $18.1
million in deposits, was closed today by state and federal banking
regulators.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was unable to find another financial
institution to take over the banking operations. Checks to the retail depositors for their insured funds will be mailed
Monday.
Brokered deposits will be wired once brokers provide the FDIC with documentation to determine if any of their clients exceed the insurance limits. Customers who placed money with brokers should contact them directly for more information about the status of their funds.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the deposit insurance fund will be $3.2 million.
Arcola Homestead Savings Bank, about 170 miles south of Chicago, is the 80th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the 12th in Illinois. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Midwest Bank & Trust Co., in Elmwood Park, on May 14.
