Haven Trust Bank, Duluth, Georgia, was closed today by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Branch Banking & Trust (BB&T), Winston-Salem, NC, to assume all of Haven Trust's deposits, including those that exceeded the insurance limit.

The four branches of Haven Trust will reopen on Monday as branches of BB&T. All the depositors of Haven Trust will automatically become depositors of BB&T.

Customers of the failed bank should continue to use their existing branches until they receive further information from BB&T.

Over the weekend, depositors of Haven Trust can access all their money by writing checks or using ATMs or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

As of December 8, 2008, Haven Trust had total assets of $572 million and total deposits of $515 million. BB&T agreed to assume all of the deposits for $112,000.

SKF to cut 2,500 jobs


Swedish group SKF, the world's leading maker of ball bearings said on Wednesday that it will cut 2,500 jobs, including 1,300 temporary posts, as key auto clients struggle in the economic downturn.

"The automotive segments have continued to rapidly fall and a negative trend is now also seen for the industrial segments, leading to much lower total demand for the group in the fourth quarter," SKF said in a statement.

"SKF has initiated a number of actions involving a reduction of the workforce by around 2,500 people globally."

It said it had cut production during the third quarter to cope with the fall in demand but had to take further action in face of the continued downturn.

At the end of 2007, the company's workforce totalled just under 43,000.
