State and federal regulators have closed the doors on two more community-based lenders in Nebraska and Utah, bringing this year’s tally of failed banks to 87.

Mid City Bank, Inc. in Omaha has been closed. It operated five branch locations, with $105.5 million in deposits and assets totaling $106.1 million.
The FDIC brokered a deal with Nebraska’s Purdum State Bank to take over the failed lender’s deposits and purchase all of its assets. The federal agency notes that Purdum
State Bank has changed its name to Premier Bank, effective on Saturday, November 5.
Mid City Bank is the first FDIC-insured institution to go under in Nebraska since June of last year. Its closing is expected to cost the FDIC $12.7 million.
In Saint George, Utah, it was SunFirst Bank that found regulators at its doors Friday evening. SunFirst had three branches, $169.1 million in deposits, and $198.1 million in assets.
Cache Valley Bank, based out of Logan, Utah, has agreed to assume “most of the deposits” of SunFirst Bank and purchase approximately $177.3 million of its assets, according to a statement from the FDIC.
The FDIC will retain approximately $15 million in deposits that may be subject to external litigation involving SunFirst Bank. The federal agency is also holding on to $20.8 million of the failed institution’s assets for later disposition.
The FDIC and Cache Valley Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $128.9 million of the assets acquired from SunFirst Bank. Its closing will cost the FDIC an estimated $49.7 million.
