On Friday, August 14, 2009, The State of Nevada Financial Institutions Division
closed Community Bank of Nevada, Las Vegas,
NV and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
was named Receiver. No advance notice is given to the
public when a financial institution is closed.
The FDIC has assembled useful information regarding your relationship with
this institution. Besides a checking
account, you may have Certificates of Deposit, a car loan, a business checking
account, a commercial loan, a Social Security direct deposit, and other relationships
with the institution. The FDIC has compiled the following information,
which should answer many of your questions.
The FDIC has issued a press release
(PR-146-2009) about
the institution's closure. If you represent a media outlet and would
like information about the closure, please contact
David Barr at 202-898-6992.
FDIC provides a tool that will allow you to verify the insurance status of each of your accounts. That status will be available no later than the first business day after bank failure.
Click the link below and enter your account number in the search screen. One of two messages will appear:
"Your account is fully insured" along with a link will that provides additional information or
a message advising you to contact the FDIC along with contact information.
The FDIC has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Las Vegas, NV
("DINB of Las Vegas") to facilitate the resolution of Community
Bank of Nevada, Las
Vegas, NV. The Federal Deposit Insurance in its capacity as Receiver has negotiated with Nevada State Bank to serve as paying agent and administer the orderly payment of certain deposits.
Checks for insured Savings, CDs and insured IRAs will be sent to your mailing
address on record with Community Bank of Nevada. These
will be mailed on Monday, August 17, 2009, and you should receive these checks
by
the end
of
the week.
Principal and interest on insured accounts, through Friday, August 14, 2009,
are fully insured by the FDIC, up to the insurance limit of $250,000. You
will receive full payment for your insured account. Certain entitlements
and different types of accounts can be insured for more than the $250,000
limit. IRA funds are insured separately from other types of accounts,
up to a $250,000 limit.
All interest bearing accounts that exceed the $250,000 insurance limit
and/or all interest bearing accounts that appear to be related and exceed
this limit are reviewed
by
the FDIC
to determine their ownership and insurance coverage. If you think
you might have uninsured deposits, you should call the FDIC Call Center
to
arrange for a telephone interview with a Claims Agent at 1-800-331-6306.
The Claim Agent may direct you to download and submit a particular
form that will assist in expediting the processing of your claim.

If it is determined that you have uninsured funds, the FDIC will generate
and mail to you a Receiver Certificate. This certificate entitles
you to share proportionately in any funds recovered through the disposal
of the assets of Community Bank of Nevada. This
means that you will eventually recover some of your uninsured funds.
Checks that were drawn on Community Bank of Nevada will be
honored up to your available balance or the insured amount until close
of business on
September 14, 2009. 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. A
hold may be in place on deposit accounts due to delinquent loans where the
depositor is the borrower or guarantor. Additionally, any account pledged
as collateral for a loan will be held.
The Automated Teller Machines (ATM) will remain available.
Online
services will be in a read-only mode until August 17, 2009.

safe deposit boxes and any other services to which you previously had access.
Your checks will be processed as usual through September 14, 2009. All
outstanding checks that clear prior to September 14, 2009 will be
paid against your available insured balance(s)
as if no change had occurred. If you have a problem with a merchant
refusing to accept your check, please contact your branch office. An
account representative will clear up any confusion about the validity of
your checks.
All interest accrued through Friday, August 14, 2009,

make arrangements with another financial institution as soon as possible.
If you had a loan with Community Bank of Nevada, you should
continue to make your payments as usual. The terms of your loan will not change
under the terms of the loan contract, because they are contractually agreed to
in your promissory note with the failed institution. Checks should be made
payable as usual and sent to the same address until further notice. If you have
further questions regarding an existing loan, please contact your loan officer.
If you or your company provided a service or product, leased space, furniture, or equipment to
Community Bank of Nevada after Friday August 14, 2009 and have not been paid you do not have a claim against
Community Bank of Nevada. Please follow your normal billing procedures by providing an invoice as instructed.
