Cathy Reines, CEO & President of First Heritage
Bank responds to publication of PCA directive A
JOURNAL STAFF
In late February, First Heritage Bank received a Prompt
Corrective Action (PCA) Directive from the FDIC requiring
recapitalization or sale of the Bank within 30 days.
“The Bank anticipates progress toward a successful
resolution of the directive. We are in active discussions
with a number of merger partners to satisfy the PCA let-
ter. We are fortunate to have a strong deposit franchise, an
award—winning SBA loan department, and a solid branch
network in Snohomish and northern King Counties."
Reines further commented that, “Deadlines can be and
have been extended on a case-by-case basis.”
‘A notable example in our state was AmericanWest Bank
in Spokane, which received a PCA directive in February
2010, and was successfully recapitalized 10 months later.
While the PCA Directive is intended to cause the bank
to bolster its capital position, there is no risk to depositor’s
funds that are within deposit insurance limits.
“We want our customers to understand that this will
not affect the safety of their deposits or our commitment
to their banking relationships with First Heritage Bank.
Any questions may be directed to me at the Bank,” stated
CEO Reines.
