Community Bank of Arizona, Phoenix, AZ was closed by the Arizona
Department of Financial Institutions. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was named Receiver. As of June 30, 2009, Community Bank of Arizona had total assets of $158.5 million and total deposits of approximately $143.8 million. The FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with MidFirst Bank, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to assume all of the deposits of Community Bank of Arizona. All deposit accounts have been transferred to MidFirst Bank, Oklahoma City, OK and are available immediately. On Monday, August 17, 2009, the four former Community Bank of Arizona locations will reopen as branches of MidFirst Bank. Transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at MidFirst Bank for six months after the failure of Community Bank of Arizona. All interest accrued through Friday, August 14, 2009, will be paid at your same rate; however MidFirst will be reviewing rates. MidFirst Bank In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, MidFirst Bank agreed to purchase approximately $125.5 million of assets. The FDIC and MidFirst Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on approximately $55.1 million of Community Bank of Arizona's assets. The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later disposition. The FDIC estimates the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $25.5 million.

Unclaimed FDIC Insured Deposits |
There are time limits on claims of FDIC-insured bank accounts, CDs and safe deposit boxes. |
Be advised that not every depositor with funds in a failed bank will receive notification from the FDIC, and there are time limits on claims of FDIC-insured bank accounts, CDs and safe deposit boxes. Beneficial owners of fiduciary accounts, including Uniform Transfers To Minors accounts, escrow accounts, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA), and deposit accounts obtained through a broker (Brokered Accounts) will not be contacted by the FDIC. This is because these accounts are on the failed bank's records in the name of the fiduciary, not the individual owner. The FDIC does not have access to ownership information, and therefore will not contact individual depositors. It is the responsibility of the broker or other fiduciary to initiate a claim. In addition, accounts transferred to successor institutions may have lower interest rates and can lose insurance coverage, after a period of time. If an individual already has accounts at a successor institution, perhaps unknowingly in the case of brokered deposits, the insurance limit may be exceeded and funds could be lost in a subsequent receivership. Finally, in the worst case scenario, by law accounts which go unclaimed for an extended period may be time barred, and safe deposit boxes can be drilled and the contents sold at auction. It is important to understand you may have an account at a failed institution and not know it, either because you were a depositor at a bank acquired by an institution that subsequently failed, or if you or a deceased family member are the beneficial owner of a brokered fiduciary account.
