The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today approved the assumption of the insured deposits of Metropolitan Savings Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Allegheny Valley Bank of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.This is a very small bank, but it is the first bank failure since 2004.
Metropolitan Savings, with total assets of approximately $15.8 million at the end of the third quarter 2006, was closed today by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and the FDIC was named receiver.
Metropolitan Savings is the first FDIC-insured institution failure in the country since June 25, 2004, and the first in Pennsylvania since Pulaski Savings Bank, Philadelphia, was closed on November 14, 2003.
