Just thought some in Southern Cal would like to see.
Bloomberg) -- First Centennial Bank of Redlands, California, was seized by a state regulator, the third U.S. bank to fail this year, as the recession deepens and the slump in the housing industry sends home foreclosures to records.

First Centennial, with $803.3 million in assets and $676.9 million in deposits, was shut by the California Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was named receiver. First California Bank, based in Westlake Village, will assume deposits and open the failed bank’s 6 offices near Los Angeles and San Diego on Jan. 26 as branches, the FDIC said.

“Depositors of the failed bank will automatically become depositors of First California," the FDIC said in an e-mailed statement. “There is no need for customers to change their banking relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage."

Glad I have been a member of a credit union for 20 years!  I am sure this will not be the last bank to go either.

Thanks for the info

My daughter works in First California Bank in Westlake and she says they are doing well.  They do take care of their customers well.  She was suprised to hear of the take over but they are very excited.
