Cape Coral bank becomes latest economy victim - Tampabay.com

14.02.09

Wake up and good morning. A Cape Coral bank in Lee County south of Tampa Bay on Friday became the second Florida bank to fail this year amid a severe credit crunch and recession. Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast was closed by Florida bank regulators. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., as receiver and to protect most depositors, then sold Riverside to TIB Bank in nearby Naples.

Before we go further with the failed bank, consider this. Four Florida banks have failed since last summer and every one of them has been located along Florida's gulf coast, from Cape Coral (near Fort Myers) north to Ocala. Nationwide, Riverside was one of four banks seized by regulators Friday, bringing the national number to 13 failed banks so far in 2009.

Back to Riverside's failure. Not all Riverside depositors are protected. TIB Bank will not assume $142.6 million in brokered deposits held by Riverside Bank. The FDIC said it will pay the brokers directly for the amount of their funds. Customers who placed money with brokers should contact them directly for more information about the status of their deposits, the FDIC said.

What is the best choice in banking in Florida?

Mar 28, 2007 by Sarah | Posted in Personal Finance

I have a checking and savings account with Bank Of America and I'm really tired of having them screw me over. I want to go to a bank that offers free checking and that has really good account options. I live on the Treasure Coast in Florida. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try Washington Mutual. Bank of America is the worst!

What bank was hero Arland Williams concerned with when he flew on doomed Air Florida flight 90 in 1982?

Nov 02, 2007 by larmac | Posted in History

Arland Williams Jr, a bank examiner, reportedly flew to Washington DC to report on a troubled Florida Bank in 1982.
He risked his life to save others when Air Florida Flight 90
crashed. What was the name of the troubled bank?
Thanks

Did my absolute best, couldn't find the specific name. Only ones who might know are the family or the Georgia branch of the Federal Reserve. Their contact link is below. Sorry couldn't be more help.
