Message from the State Bank Commissioner on the closing of ANB Financial

 

The closing of ANB Financial, a national bank located in Bentonville, Arkansas, on Friday, May 8, 2008, in no way reflects a weakened condition of the Arkansas banking system.

 

Most commercial banks in Arkansas remain well managed and well capitalized and in a strong position to withstand a downturn in the business cycle.  The citizens of Arkansas should feel confident in the state banking system of Arkansas.

 

Customers of ANB Financial who have questions concerning their deposits may telephone the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at toll free 1-877-367-2719.
