#7 and #8 Shuttered
Two banks opened in 2000 were shuttered on Friday, becoming the 7th and 8th banks to fail this year. With nearly $300 million in assets and seven branches, The Bank of Georgia was closed, the first failure in about three months. The FDIC sold the bank to Fidelity Bank of Atlanta. The much-smaller Hometown National Bank in Washington, with $5 million in assets and one location, was also closed, with its deposits sold to Twin City Bank. [10/5/15]
