The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation seized the SouthShore Community Bank in Apollo Beach, Fla., the LandMark Bank of Florida in Sarasota, Fla., and the Bank of Choice in Greeley, Colo.
SouthShore Community Bank had about $46.3 million in assets and $45.3 million in deposits. LandMark Bank had about $275 million in assets and $246.7 million in deposits. That lifts to nine the number of lenders to collapse this year in Florida.
American Momentum Bank, based in Tampa, Fla., agreed to assume all of the deposits from the two Florida banks and to buy essentially all of their assets.
The Bank of Choice had about $1.07 billion in assets and $924.9 million in deposits. It is the fifth bank to fail this year in Colorado.
Bank Midwest, based in Kansas City, Mo., agreed to assume all of Bank of Choice’s deposits and buy about $853 million of its assets. Bank Midwest is a division of NBH Holdings, a privately held company based in Boston.
The failures are expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $331.4 million, combined.
