It’s an update on to the FirstCity Bank that closed, without warning, last week in Gibson, Georgia. Thousands of bank customers were outraged after the FDIC seizure, but Tuesday, some good news surfaced. Count on WJBF News Channel 6’s Fraendy Clervaud for the story.

Another Georgia bank is being seized by the FDIC. Earlier this month, Freedom Bank of Georgia was shut down. Those locations became branches of Northeast Georgia Bank. Now, FirstCity Bank is the latest to be taken over by the government. There are three branches in the peach state, including one about 50 miles away, in Gibson…that’s in Glascock County, southwest of Thomson. WJBF News Channel 6’s Sheena Bodie has the story.

Sunday a town hall meeting was held by the FDIC, to answer questions of those customers who banked at First City Bank of Gibson, which was shut down on Friday. Count on WJBF News Channel 6’s Barclay Bishop for more information.
