I am really freaked out mainly because I have no idea how this works. I also just cashed out my retirement and am waiting for it to be direct deposited. They have not deposited it yet but the rumour states the banks doors are closing on friday. I want to make sure I am not going to get fucked. What do I do?

Quoted:
Are they closing down or being bought out? I am not sure, there is no info on the banks website. |

not even close to 100k. How long does it take to get money from fdic though?
|
|
Even if it does close who cares? I mean who cares on a personal financial level, not a national patriotic level.
Anyway its called FDIC. Collect your finances, switch banks, move on. |

Quoted: not even close to 100k. How long does it take to get money from fdic though? How soon are you retiring? |

I went through this with WAMU. I was without access to my bank account (online) for two days. ATM card didn't work. NBD

How long does it take to get money from fdic though? depends, if the bank is sold to another your money will be available as normal on monday ( well really whenever the transaction holds expire). If the bank is not bought they FDIC will cut you a check which may take a little longer. |

small local bank. I don't want to give out the name because I don't want people running and withdrawing their money.

Get your money out before Friday. That's when the FDIC moves in, and they are running low on cash to insure depositors.
|

They got a zero, things are not looking good. |

Quoted: not even close to 100k. How long does it take to get money from fdic though? They don't let it come to that... While some folks have given me shit for my 'no banks have actually failed' comment, given how the FDIC has been operating, that statement is correct... The FDIC has been doing 'shotgun weddings' of 'sick' banks with 'healthy' ones, with the intention of preventing the sort of irrational panic that would happen if any banks were actually allowed to fail... So what will likely happen, is you will go to the bank one Monday morning (it's always done on a Friday) and find it under new ownership... With all your accounts just like they were the friday before... Nothing more, nothing less.... |

Quoted: Quoted: Obviously this is your fault. You lost me? Sorry, I was trying to beat the rest of GD who would have come up with a reason to blame you. If the FDIC steps in, you shouldn't see any interruption in operations. I do suggest that everyone have accounts at multiple banks, though, just in case. |

Go to - http://usedlions.com/links.htm and about halfway down the page are the links to two sites that can give you detailed reports on the status of your bank.

The FDIC used it's assets to guarantee that the bank taking over the failed bank was not put in jeopardy. To date lots of banks have gone insolvent....none have technically failed because they were merged ( some by force others not) with other banks before they could default on any obligations. As long as the FDIC can keep pulling this trick off there should be no runs on banks......if this tactic starts faltering and banks actually default preventing account holders from getting their money at will things will change....and not for the good. |

These banks should have been siezed when they missed reserve ratios not when they hit 20-40% losses. Right now a conservative estimate would be half the banks in the country should have been siezed |

Yup, It's either that or live with my parents for another 5 years at least while I pay off the second. I took a huge pay cut when I got laid off, I have a great job with a local city now but revenue is low so no raises for quite some time. I was very lucky to get a job period so I am not leaving to be at the bottom of the ladder at a company that I have no Idea how solid they are. With cashing out my retirement, I can pay the rest of my second off in a year maybe less and then may be able to buy a house with what I make and keep my house in California to use as income when I retire. Or sell it when the value gets back to where it's worth selling. |

Friday night the bank was seized by FDIC, and was immediately sold to New York Commerce Bank. All branches opened for business Saturday. We haven't been inconvenienced in the slightest. Checks are still good, cards work, branches are open, automatic deposits and transfers are happening, etc. |

You can usually start collecting money from your retirement accounts without penalties before age 65. You just have to know the IRS codes and rules which follow certain mathematical formulas which are revised every year. Anyway, you likely won't be able to recoup the financial momentum you've lost by cashing out early. It takes thirty years of compounding interest to get to the point where you can't mathematically run out of money. I don't know how much you had invested and what not, but you might end up needing to double or triple the amount of money you invest every year, later on in your life, to make up for the time you've lost.

Believe me, I didn't do this without putting alot of thought into it. I have 2 full retirement plans the city pays for, the city opted out of social security at some point way back when when they were allowed to do that. Also doing this makes it easier to hold onto the house I have in California so in 20 years when it is paid off it will be a source of income. My parents also pointed out that by the time I can retire they will be dead and are insured up the ass. I may not live like a rockstar in my retirment but I will live. |

I went through this almost 2 years ago when Netbank hit an iceberg and sank. Your direct deposit will be fine. My direct deposits kept working fine for almost 2 months after the accounts were transitioned over to ING by FDIC, and then all I had to do was update my direct deposit form with my employer.

not even close to 100k. How long does it take to get money from fdic though? Took 3 years during the S&L crisis. Ask me how I know. I lost 3 years of double digit intrest in the mean time.

The FDIC will take over, and maintain the accounts. By 'maintain', I mean by forcing creating good deals so that healthy banks 'voluntarily' acquire them.
