Description

The bank suspended business Jan. 18 under a banking holiday (official suspension/holiday) and then organized a plan to reopen (depositors signing waivers, reorganizing as a state-chartered bank). No explicit run is described in the articles, so this is a suspension followed by reopening. The bank later is reported possibly reopening as the Tipton State Bank.
