The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp said Central Progressive Bank of Lacombe, Louisiana had been closed and its 17 branches would reopen on Saturday as branches of First NBC Bank, New Orleans, which will assume all of its deposits.
Central Progressive Bank had about $383.1 million in total assets and $347.7 million in total deposits as of September 30, 2011. Polk County Bank of Johnston, Iowa, was also closed on Friday, the FDIC said. Its three branches would reopen on Saturday as branches of Grinnell State Bank, Grinnell, Iowa, which agreed to assume all of Polk County Bank's deposits.
