The First Republic Bank in Marin County has officially closed after JPMorgan Chase & Co. acquired the institution earlier this year. Closure of the branch comes after JPMorgan Chase entered a deal to purchase the failed bank on May 1 after it was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

The bank had an unusually high number of deposits above the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. A total of 86 offices, as listed on the First Republic’s website, are set to “permanently close,” the branch at 750 Redwood Highway Frontage Road in Mill Valley is among them. Four branches in Santa Rosa, St. Helena, Napa and San Rafael are still operating.

First Republics that are now closed include one Marin County location, seven in San Francisco as well as four others in the Bay area, two in Southern California, one in Wyoming, three in New York City and two in Boston.

According to the press release from JPMorgan Chase on May 1, it will assume all deposits insured and uninsured from First Republic. The remaining First Republic sites will eventually be rebranded as Chase locations.
