U.S. Bancorp, through its lead bank U.S. Bank NA, has acquired all of the deposits and assets of San Diego National Bank, a banking subsidiary of FBOP Corporation, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). All the parties involved in the transaction are based in the US.

Both U.S. Bank and San Diego National Bank are providers of personal and commercial banking products and services.

Simultaneously, U.S. Bank has also assumed all of the deposits and assets of eight other banking subsidiaries of FBOP from the FDIC.

These eight banks include, California National Bank, Citizens National Bank, Madisonville State Bank, North Houston Bank, Pacific National Bank, Park National Bank, Bank USA, National Association and Community Bank of Lemont.

As of September 30, 2009, the banks had combined assets of $19,400 million and deposits of $15,400 million. Under the terms of the transactions, U.S. Bank will receive approximately $18,400 million of assets and assume approximately $18,300 million of liabilities, including $15,400 million of both insured and uninsured deposits, of the nine different banks that are part of FBOP.

In addition, the FDIC and U.S. Bank have entered into a loss-share transaction on approximately $14,400 million of the combined purchased assets of $18,200 million. U.S. Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement.
