Bank Failure #11 in 2009: Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast &

From the FDIC: TIB Bank, Naples, Florida, Assumes All of the Deposits of Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast, Cape Coral, Florida

Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast, Cape Coral, Florida, was closed today by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with TIB Bank, Naples, Florida, to assume all of the deposits of Riverside Bank.
...
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund will be $201.5 million. TIB Bank's acquisition of all of the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund compared to alternatives. Riverside Bank is the eleventh bank to fail in the nation this year. The last bank to fail in Florida was Ocala National Bank on January 30, 2009.
That makes 2 today.
