37th bank was seized by FDIC.

Regulators took over the Bank of Lincolnwood in Illinois, selling its deposits and most of its assets to Republic Bank.

The
Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shut down the bank on Friday and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver. The FDIC arranged for Republic to assume the failed bank's $202 million in deposits.

Republic, based in Oak Brook, Ill., agreed to buy $162 million of Bank of Lincolnwood's $214 million in assets.

The FDIC said in
its announcement on the closing that it would hold the remaining assets for later sale or disposition.

Bank of Lincolnwood was the 37th bank to fail this year.
