Benton State Bank to reopen as branch of El Dorado bank
The Benton State Bank in western Butler County was closed by the state banking commissioner for insolvency and will reopen today as a branch of First National Bank & Trust Co. of El Dorado. FDIC says the failure was not due to agriculture. First National will assume $8.4 million in deposits, pay a $238,750 purchase premium and $5.5 million for selected loans, with FDIC advancing about $2.6 million. Depositors are protected and automatically move to First National, pending court approval.
