Community Banks of Colorado

The largest institution to fail on Friday was Community Banks of Colorado, of Greenwood, which had total assets of $1.38 billion and $1.33 billion in deposits when it was seized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The FDIC was appointed receiver and sold the failed institution to Bank Midwest, NA, of Kansas City, Mo.

The 40 branches of Community Banks of Colorado were scheduled to reopen during normal business hours as branches of Bank Midwest, NA.

The FDIC agreed to cover 80% of losses on $714.2 million in assets acquired by Bank Midwest, NA, and estimated the cost of Community Banks of Colorado's failure to the deposit insurance fund would be $224.9 million.
