Fed Gives Calif's San Joaquin Bank Deadline To Shape Up
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Federal Reserve has ordered a California bank to
take steps within the next 10 days to make itself adequately capitalized.
The Fed said Monday that San Joaquin Bank, of Bakersfield, was
undercapitalized. The bank's parent is San Joaquin Bancorp (SJQU).
The Fed ordered San Joaquin Bank to raise equity, enter into a contract to be
taken over, or take other necessary measures no later than Oct. 15.
The lender cannot pay dividends, the Fed said. It also cannot accept deposits
carrying an excessive interest rate without Fed approval.
