CapitalSouth Bank, Birmingham, AL

The 80th bank to fail in 2009 is CapitalSouth Bank, Birmingham, AL. It also marks the second in Alabama.

CapitalSouth Bank, Birmingham, Alabama, was closed today by the Alabama State Banking Department, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with IBERIABANK, Lafayette, Louisiana, to assume all of the deposits of CapitalSouth Bank, excluding those from brokers.

The ten branches of CapitalSouth Bank will reopen on Monday as branches of IBERIABANK. Depositors of CapitalSouth Bank will automatically become depositors of IBERIABANK. Depositors will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage. Customers should continue to use their existing branches until IBERIABANK can fully integrate the deposit records of CapitalSouth Bank.

The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time (CDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., CDT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., CDT; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., CDT.
