Bridge Bank

(redirected from Bridge Banks)

Bridge Bank

In the United States, a bank the FDIC has declared insolvent and has taken over. A bridge bank is separately incorporated from the original bank, which ceases its function altogether. The FDIC administers deposits and loans for the bridge bank for up to three years, until a buyer is found or the bank's operations wind down. A bridge bank must be registered as a national bank.
