U.S. regulators close Arizona-based NextBank
WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Thursday closed Phoenix, Arizona-based NextBank, owned by struggling online credit card company NextCard Inc. (NasdaqNM:NXCD - news), citing unsafe operating practices likely to deplete the bank's capital.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has been appointed receiver of the bank, which had assets of around $700 million and total deposits of around $550 million as of Dec. 31, the OCC said in a news release.

The bank ``experienced a substantial dissipation in assets and earnings through unsafe and unsound practices,'' the agency said, adding ``there was no reasonable prospect for the bank to become adequately capitalized without federal assistance.''
