On October 19, 1976, regulators closed Centennial Bank, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. At closing, the institution held approximately $13.7M in assets and $12.3M in deposits. The FDIC record does not name an acquiring institution.

By assets at closing this is the 2600th largest of the 3,526 bank failures in the FDIC record, and the 11th of 16 in 1976. It falls in the period the record labels Postwar Stability (1945-1979), a period with 161 failures peaking at 16 in 1976.

Three decades of regulated calm — Reg Q ceilings, geographic branching limits, and high industry profits kept failures rare.
