Bank names president and seeks time on FDIC review
James J. Atkins, 48, named president of First State Bank of Odessa. The bank requests 60 extra days from the FDIC to review National Bank of Odessa loan portfolios after NBO's insolvency on Sept. 30. Independent Bankshares says the FDIC has favored a second extension and may approve a loan buyback incentive similar to Republic Bank Midland's plan. Atkins notes 15 percent of NBO's $51 million loans purchased, with 20–25 percent under consideration and 25 percent negotiable amid one-on-one negotiations. Atkins former Irving Citizens Bank president and former Plainsview native, takes post while energy loans continue under a prudent, conservative approach.
