SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said late Friday that Haven Trust Bank of Duluth, Ga., was closed by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. The failure not only marks the 24th bank failure of the year, but the fifth in the Atlanta area. The FDIC was named receiver, and Branch Banking & Trust of Winston-Salem, N.C. will assume the deposits. As of Dec. 8, Haven Trust had total assets of $572 million and total deposits of $515 million. The FDIC said that BB&T agreed to assume all of the deposits for $112,000 and assume all of the failed bank's assets for about $55 million.
