Arizona Bank Closes, Bringing 2013 Tally to 13

By: Tory Barringer, DSNews.com

A mid-week closing brought this year’s bank failure tally to 13.

FDIC announced Tuesday the closure of Central Arizona Bank (Scottsdale) by the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions. To protect depositors of the failed bank, FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Western State Bank (Devils Lake, North Dakota).

In addition to assuming all of Central Arizona Bank’s $30.8 million in deposits, Western State Bank will purchase “essentially all” $31.6 million in total assets.

FDIC estimates the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund will be $8.6 million. Central Arizona Bank is the second to fail in the state this year.
