FDIC: Hume Bank Fails

by Calculated Risk on 3/07/2008 08:21:00 PM

From the FDIC: FDIC Approves the Assumption of the Insured Deposits of Hume Bank, Hume, Missouri

Hume Bank, Hume, Missouri, was closed today by the Commissioner of Missouri's Division of Finance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the assumption of Hume Bank's insured deposits by Security Bank, Rich Hill, Missouri.

The failed bank's sole office will reopen Monday as a branch of Security Bank. Depositors of Hume Bank will automatically become depositors of the assuming bank.

As of December 31, 2007, Hume Bank had total assets of $18.7 million and total deposits of $13.6 million. Security Bank has agreed to assume $12.5 million of the failed bank's insured deposits for a premium of 4.26 percent.

At the time of closing, Hume Bank had approximately $1.1 million in 33 deposit accounts that exceeded the federal deposit insurance limit. These customers will have immediate access to their insured deposits, and they will become creditors of the receivership for the amount of their uninsured funds.
This is just another small bank.
