U.S. regulators close seven banks


WASHINGTON: U.S. bank regulators closed seven institutions on Thursday, including six

banks in Illinois controlled by one family and a small bank in Dallas, bringing the total

number of U.S. bank failures to 52 so far this year.

Founders Bank, of Worth, Illinois, was the largest of the financial institutions seized. The

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp said Founders had $962.5 million in assets and

approximately $848.9 million in deposits.

The PrivateBank and Trust Co of Chicago will assume all of the deposits of Founders

Bank.

The failure is expected to cost the FDIC deposit insurance fund an estimated $188.5

million.
