Inter Savings Bank, fsb D/B/A InterBank, fsb, Maple Grove, Minnesota, was closed today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Great Southern Bank, Reeds Spring, Missouri, to assume all of the deposits of InterBank, fsb.
The four branches of InterBank, fsb will reopen on Monday as branches of Great Southern Bank. Depositors of InterBank, fsb will automatically become depositors of Great Southern 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 InterBank, fsb should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Great Southern Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other Great Southern Bank branches to process their accounts as well.
This evening and over the weekend, depositors of InterBank, fsb 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, 2011, InterBank, fsb had approximately $481.6 million in total assets and $473.0 million in total deposits. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Great Southern Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.
The FDIC and Great Southern Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $413.0 million of InterBank, fsb's assets. Great Southern 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 with questions about today's transaction should call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-8357. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time (CDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., CDT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., CDT; on Monday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., CDT; and thereafter from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., CDT. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/Interbank.html.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $117.5 million. Compared to other alternatives, Great Southern Bank's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC's DIF. InterBank, fsb is the 20th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the third in Minnesota. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Home Savings of America, Little Falls, on February 24, 2012.
