People's First Bank of PC went into receivership on Friday night.

The new checkbooks will read "Hancock Bank" come Monday morning.

They sure "owned" a helluvalot of property in Walton County.

Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at FDIC: Failed Bank Information - Bank Closing Information for Peoples First Community Bank, Panama City, FL.
The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $556.7 million. Hancock Bank's acquisition of all the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF compared to all alternatives. Peoples First Community Bank is the 135th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the fourteenth in Florida.

Pardon the interruption but FDIC insurance works pretty good would be my point.
 
The Hancock Bank vinyl banner was already up and covering the sign of the former People's Bank branch in Niceville by Saturday morning.
