Haven Trust Bank Seized by Regulators

Yet another bank has hit rock bottom.

Haven Trust Bank outside Atlanta has been seized by state and federal bank regulators, marking the fifth failure in Georgia this year.

Winston-Salem, N.C.-based BB&T Corp., which is the fourth largest bank in the metro Atlanta area, takes over all deposits from Haven Trust, which compiled total assets of $572 million and total deposits of $515 million as of Dec. 8.

BB&T, which plans to acquire Haven Trust's three branches, noted total metro Atlanta deposits of $5.3 billion as of June 30, 2008.
