Commercial Bank of Alma, Mich., will assume all of the deposits of Mainstreet Savings Bank, FSB, in Hastings, Mich; and CenterState Bank of Winter Haven, Fla., will assume all of the deposits of Olde Cypress Community Bank of Clewiston, Fla. Also, NAFH National Bank of Miami will assume deposits for Miami's Metro Bank of Dade County; Turnberry Bank of Aventura, Fla.; and First National Bank of the South in Spartanburg, S.C. Earlier in the day, regulators closed Woodlands Bank in Bluffton, S.C., with Bank of the Ozarks of Little Rock, Ark., assuming all its deposits. The total charge to the deposit-insurance fund for the five banks is $334.8 million.
