All deposit accounts, which include Checking, Savings, Money Market, CDs
and Retirements accounts have been transferred to Republic Bank of Chicago,
Oak Brook, IL, regardless of the dollar amount. Your deposits will be available
for business as usual at your former National Bank of Commerce
branches starting on Saturday, January 17, 2009. No one lost any money
on deposit in National Bank of
Commerce.
If you had an account with National Bank of Commerce, you now have an account
with Republic Bank of Chicago.
Please be advised you will not receive any email notification to claim/unlock/unsuspend
your account or to provide any private information. Please be aware of any scams
to obtain information from you.
Your ATM/debit card will continue to work, and bill paying will work as it has in the past.
The total of all deposit accounts, including brokered deposits, have been assumed by Republic Bank of Chicago.
Direct Deposits will continue as normal, including Social Security checks.
The accounts transferred to Republic Bank of Chicago will be separately insured
for at least six months after the merger. This grace period gives a depositor
the opportunity to restructure the accounts, if necessary.
CDs from the failed bank are separately insured until the earliest
maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period.
CDs that mature during the six-month period and are renewed for the same
term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest)
continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the
six-month period.
If a CD matures during the six-month grace period and is renewed on any
other basis, it would be separately insured only until the end of the six-month
grace period.
Republic Bank of Chicago will be reviewing rates and will notify you.
You may withdraw funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal
penalty until you enter into a new deposit agreement with your new bank.
Entering into a new deposit agreement can be done by either renewing your
CD or making a deposit to, or a withdrawal from, your account.
All mortgages and loans have been assumed by Republic Bank of Chicago. Your payment amount and due date are the same. If you are having your payment deducted from your account, it will continue as it has in the past. You should continue to make your checks payable to National Bank of Commerce and send your payments to the same address.
You should contact your loan officer. All prior contacts remain the same.

FDIC as Receiver for National Bank of Commerce. Any claims by equity holders were not acquired.
There was no publicly owned stock in National Bank of Commerce.

The FDIC is required by law to employ the least-cost resolution measure for each failed financial institution. The most frequent result is for the FDIC to transfer only the insured deposits in a merger transaction. The FDIC has been able to transfer all deposits in about 25% of the failures over the past 15 years.
