First Michigan Bank, Troy, Michigan, Assumes All of the Deposits of Peoples State Bank, Hamtramck, Michigan
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 11, 2011 |
Peoples State Bank, Hamtramck, Michigan, was closed today by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance 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 First Michigan Bank, Troy, Michigan, to assume all of the deposits of Peoples State Bank.
The ten branches of Peoples State Bank will reopen on Saturday as branches of First Michigan Bank. Depositors of Peoples State Bank will automatically become depositors of First Michigan Bank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of Peoples State Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from First Michigan Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other First Michigan Bank branches to process their accounts as well.
This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Peoples State Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.
As of December 31, 2010, Peoples State Bank had approximately $390.5 million in total assets and $389.9 million in total deposits. First Michigan Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of 0.25 percent to assume all of the deposits of Peoples State Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, First Michigan Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.
The FDIC and First Michigan Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $331.0 million of Peoples State Bank's assets. First Michigan Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more information on loss share, please visit: http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.
Customers who have questions about today's transaction can call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-450-5143. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., EST; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., EST; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., EST. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/peoplesstatebank.html.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $87.4 million. Compared to other alternatives, First Michigan Bank's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC's DIF. Peoples State Bank is the sixteenth FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in Michigan. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Paramount Bank, Farmington Hills, on December 10, 2010.
