Regulators have closed banks in Kentucky and Ohio.
Louisa Community Bank in Louisa, Ky., was shuttered by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver and sold the bank's insured deposits, and essentially all of its assets, to Kentucky Farmers Bank in Catlettsburg.
Louisa Community had about $29.7 million in assets and $26.5 million in deposits. The bank's sole branch will reopen Saturday as Kentucky Farmers.
The FDIC estimates that Louisa Community's failure will cost the Deposit Insurance Fund about $4.5 million.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed Resolute Bank in Maumee, Ohio, before appointing the FDIC as receiver. Resolute's deposits, and essentially all of its assets, were sold to Buckyeye State Bank in Powell, Ohio.
The OCC said in a press release that it intervened after finding that Resolute "had experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe and unsound practices."
Resolute had $27.1 million in assets and $26.2 million in deposits. Its branch will reopen as Buckeye State.
The FDIC estimates that Resolute's failure will cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $2.2 million
