On April 26, the FDIC announced that the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities had closed a Philadelphia-based bank and appointed the FDIC as receiver, noting that this is the first bank to “fail” this year and the first closure of a bank since November 2023. The FDIC reported that as of the end of January, the closed bank had $6 billion in total assets and $4 billion in total deposits. The FDIC entered into an agreement with a different bank from Lancaster, Pennsylvania whereby that bank will assume substantially all deposits and assets of the closed bank. All 32 branches of the failed bank became branches of the assuming bank, and customers of the failed bank became customers of the assuming bank. The FDIC estimated that the bank failure will cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $667 million.
