The largest of the four was Sun American Bank of Boca Raton, Florida, which had approximately $535.7 million in total assets and $443.5 million in total deposits, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) said.

Regulators also closed Centennial Bank of Odgen, Utah, Waterfield Bank of Germantown, Maryland, and Bank of Illinois of Normal, Illinois.

The 12 branches of Sun American Bank will reopen on Monday as branches of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Raleigh, North Carolina, which is assuming the deposits and purchasing essentially all the assets, FDIC said.

However, FDIC was unable to find a buyer for Centennial Bank so checks will be mailed on Monday to retail depositors for their insured funds, the agency said.

The bank had approximately $215.2 million in total assets and $205.1 million in total deposits. An estimated $1.8 million of those funds were uninsured, but that number could change as more information becomes available, FDIC said.

Waterfield Bank had $155.6 million in assets and $156.4 million in deposits. After April 5, the FDIC will mail checks to customers who have not closed their accounts or transferred their funds to another institution.

Heartland Bank and Trust of Bloomington, Illinois, agreed to assume the deposits of Bank of Illinois, whose two branches will reopen on Saturday as branches of Heartland.

FDIC said Bank of Illinois had $211.7 million in assets and $198.5 million in deposits. Heartland paid the FDIC a premium of 3.61 percent to assume the deposits and agreed to purchase essentially all of the failed bank's assets, FDIC said.

    Or, as Herbert Hoover once said:

    "When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results."

    Just in the case of Sun American Bank alone we have 12 banks (branches) failing in four different Florida counties. Funny how the FDIC views it and publicizes it as one bank failure. Sad how the media falls into their "fudge the numbers" trap. Guess it sounds better than saying 12 banks in Florida were seized by the FDIC on Friday. Gotta keep the sheeples from worrying about their money in the bank.

    Yep. 12 banks in one. If MacDonalds goes out of business you don't say one burger shop closed. And check out the $$ we're talking about. That's a billion dollars across the "four" banks.

    This is Chicago politics at its best. I hope the country is enjoying it.
