On the list of bank closures page, the FDIC provides information about how your accounts and loans are affected if your bank is closed.

The three banks in Illinois were closed as government regulators proposing new rules for private equity firms looking to take over failed banks.

The First National Bank of Danville will have its deposits assumed by the First National Bank of Terre Haute.
Other banks will assume deposits of the failed banks, but seven closures in one day has never been seen before. The number of failed banks in 2009 is also double that of all banks that closed in 2008.
