On Friday, March 19, 2010, Advanta
Bank Corp.,
Draper, UT was
closed by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions, and the
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 savings account, you may have Certificates of Deposit, an IRA, 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-058-2010) about
the institution's closure. If you represent a media outlet and would
like information about the closure, please contact
David Barr at 1-202-898-6992.
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.
An acquiring institution could not be located; therefore, the FDIC
will fulfill its obligation to insured depositors by mailing checks for their
insured
amounts.
Principal and interest on insured accounts, through March
19, 2010,
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 deposit accounts that exceed the $250,000 insurance
limit and/or all deposit 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 1-800-537-4048.
The Claims 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 Advanta Bank Corp. This means
that you may eventually recover some of your uninsured funds.
Your CD(s) will automatically be closed,
and you will receive a check up to the insured amount from the FDIC. You
will not be assessed an early withdrawal penalty. Any account pledged as
collateral for a loan or credit card balance will continue to be held.
On Friday, March 19, 2010, all accounts have
been closed and you will receive a check up to your insured amount and a final
statement
from
the
FDIC.
