FDIC: Reno-based Nevada Security Bank fails, Oregon Umpqua Bank to take over
Reno-based Nevada Security Bank, with three Reno branches and an administrative office, an Incline Village branch, and a Roseville, Calif., branch were closed Friday by the Nevada Financial Institutions Division, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
Nevada Security Bank had approximately $480.3 million in total assets and $479.8 million in total deposits as of March 31, according to a FDIC press release. It is the 83rd bank to fail this year. On Feb. 26 regulators took over Carson River Community Bank in Carson City.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Roseburg Ore.-based Umpqua Bank to assume all of the deposits of Nevada Security Bank, according to the press release.
The five branches of Nevada Security Bank will reopen on Monday as branches of Umpqua Bank. Depositors of Nevada Security Bank will automatically become depositors of Umpqua 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. Customers of Nevada Security Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Umpqua Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other Umpqua Bank branches to process their accounts as well.
Over the weekend, depositors of Nevada Security Bank 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 March 31, Nevada Security Bank had approximately $480.3 million in total assets and $479.8 million in total deposits. Umpqua Bank did not pay the FDIC a premium for the deposits of Nevada Security Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Umpqua Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.
The FDIC and Umpqua Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $368.2 million of Nevada Security Bank's assets. Umpqua 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.

Customers who have questions about Friday's transaction can call the FDIC toll-free at (800) 356-1848. The phone number will be operational on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., PDT; on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., PDT; and thereafter from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., PDT.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $80.9 million. Compared to other alternatives, Umpqua Bank's acquisition was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF. Nevada Security Bank is the 83rd FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the third in Nevada. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Sun West Bank, Las Vegas, on May 28.
