South Carolina Bank Becomes 42nd Failure of Year

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced the year's 42nd failure late Friday.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. sold the operations of the $585 million-asset Beach First National Bank in Myrtle Beach, S.C., to Bank of North Carolina in Thomasville.

The acquirer assumed all of Beach First's $516 million of deposits and roughly all of its assets. The FDIC will share losses on $498 million of those assets.
