On Friday, April 23, 2010, Lincoln Park Savings Bank, Chicago, IL was closed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (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 checking account, you may have Certificates of Deposit, a car loan, a business checking account, a commercial loan, 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-088-2010) about the institution's closure.  If you represent a media outlet and would like information about the closure, please contact Greg Hernandez at 1-202-898-6984.

All deposit accounts have been transferred to Northbrook Bank and Trust Company, Northbrook, IL ("assuming institution") and will be available immediately.  The former Lincoln Park Savings Bank locations will reopen as branches of Northbrook Bank and Trust Company during regular business hours.

Your transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at Northbrook Bank and Trust Company for six months after the failure of Lincoln Park Savings Bank. Checks that were drawn on Lincoln Park Savings Bank that did not clear before the institution closed will be honored as long as there are sufficient funds in the account.  If you have questions about your account(s) transferred to the assuming bank, you may speak to an FDIC representative by calling 1-800-357-7599.
