Stewart M. Brumfield, Chairman of State Capital Corporation of Mississippi and C. Royal White, Chairman of the Board, Consumer National Bank announced today that the Board of Directors of State Capital Corporation and the Board of Directors of Consumer National Bank of Jackson have approved and executed merger agreements.

“This is a great day for both financial institutions and will allow State Bank to double its presence in the Metro-Jackson market,” said Lee Seago, State Bank & Trust Company city president. “We are extremely excited about the opportunity we have to further grow our financial institution here for our customers.”

Consumer National Bank has focused its business on offering commercial, consumer and real estate loans and deposit services to individuals and small to medium size businesses. It operates four full-service banking locations in the Metro Jackson market with locations in downtown Jackson, I-55 North, Brandon/Crossgates and on Terry Road.

“Consumer National Bank has an excellent staff. In addition, their Directors have a substantial financial interest in the Metro-Jackson market “ said John B. Neville, CEO, State Bank & Trust Company.

S. Craig Robinson, President and CEO of Consumer National Bank, said there would be no foreseeable changes among the bank’s employees.

“This merger will greatly enhance our capabilities to provide new banking services for our customers and significantly increase the bank’s commercial lending capacity,” said Robinson. “We’re simply becoming part of a bigger team with a very similar banking philosophy and much deeper pockets.”

State Capital Corporation, parent corporation of State Bank & Trust Co., operates 21 banks in Mississippi, serving markets from Memphis, TN to McComb, MS and six full service locations in Louisiana. State Capital Corporation recently announced it was selling four of its branches in Batesville, Senatobia and Vicksburg to Guaranty Bank & Trust Company upon receipt of regulatory approval. It currently operates branches in the Metro area in Flowood on Lakeland Drive, Highway 51 in Ridgeland and in Jackson on Old Canton Road and Terry Road.

Following the completion of the merger, State Bank would be constructing additional new facilities in strategic locations in the metro area, said Neville. “We’ve already secured the services of an architect and a location consultant to get that process underway,” he said. “We would estimate having additional new branches open in the Hinds, Rankin and Madison county area within the next 18 to 24 months. Craig Robinson will play a vital role in that phase of our development,” Neville added.

The Hinds, Rankin, Madison expansion follows State Bank’s move into the North Shore area of Louisiana following its merger with First Bank of Baton Rouge last year and the construction of new branches in New Roads, Denham Springs and Mandeville. The bank plans to build additional branches along the I-12 corridor between Baton Rouge and Slidell later this year. Construction is nearing completion on State Bank’s second branch in McComb plus the bank intends to open a third location there by early summer as well as an second location in Cleveland.

Neville, while not disclosing the purchase price, said that Consumer National Bank’s assets presently exceed $ 50 million. Upon completion of the merger, the combined assets will approach $ 850 million. He further stated that the merger is contingent upon both federal and state regulatory approval.

Despite the U.S. Department of Education’s shutdown of the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Tuesday, Student Lending & Consolidations, LLC (SLC), a federally-approved student loan lender, continues to serve customers looking for to salvage money with their being student loans

“The shutdown of the NSLDS is merely a commercial glitch for us,” stated Jeffrey J. Crilley, SLC’s chief executive officer. “We’re lenders, not just marketers of imparting opportunities, so we are very at ease with conventional loan processing procedures without the advantages of the NSLDS.”

The NSLDS was made accessible to the student imparting industry to assist find out eligibility of an applicant for northern student loans. Loan specialists with O.K. access to the system may access only one borrower’s record at a time and only with that borrower’s permission. The NSLDS may not be utilized to “mine” data for commercializing purposes

“We do believe this industry needs some setting up and we are discriminating of the Department of Education’s efforts to assist students from predatory practices,” stated Crilley. “But frankly SLC is immune. We are arrogant of our record of service and we welcome the Department’s initiatives as well as those much as the New York Attorney General’s proposal of a code of conduct.”

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo recently announced new legislation that establishes restrictions on colleges and the companies that make tuition loans to their students

Vice President of Operations Mark Blonski added that while SLC can continue to provide valuable service to borrowers without direct visibility of the information in the NSLDS, they still must verify eligibility through documents provided by the borrowers themselves. He explains that not having access to NSLDS is related to another type of lender not having access to a borrower’s credit report. The information on a credit report, or in this case the NSLDS report, is substantive to serving the borrower in the most circumspect, efficacious manner accomplishable

“Regardless of NSLDS access, SLC will continue to advocate savings on student loans for borrowers,” Blonski said. “We have expended more than $ 750,000 since 2003 on animal and information security to admit intense background checks and ongoing training for our loan specialists. Because of these efforts we are highly assured of our access to and use of the NSLDS for the benefit of our customers.”

National Accident Helpline has launched three dedicated web sites to cover industrial accidents, work accidents and serious accidents.

Accidents and injuries covered by the sites include repetitive strain injury, vibration white finger, construction accidents, workplace slips and trips, spinal cord injuries, back injuries and birth injuries.

Beth Powell, consumer director of National Accident Helpline, said: “We have developed these sites in response to consumer demand for detailed information. Each site gives a thorough overview of the causes and symptoms of the injuries and explains how to seek compensation.

“The sites also address employees’ concern that they may lose their jobs for claiming against their employer. A successful claim will normally be covered by the liability insurance employers have for such eventualities, rather than coming out of the organisation’s cashflow. Making a claim can help to change bad practices and prevent future accidents.”

In 2008/09 there were 726,000 accidents at work and 1.2m people were suffering from an illness they believed was caused or made worse by their current or past work. Musculoskeletal disorders and stress were the most commonly reported illness types. In the same period 180 workers were killed at work and 29.3m days were lost due to work-related ill health or injury.

Visitors to the sites can view information covering details of types of industrial accident, serious accident and work accident claims, how to make a claim, likely compensation amounts and how the no win no fee process works. After discussing their accident or injury with a National Accident Helpline advisor, an enquirer will be referred to a specialist personal injury lawyer who will advise on how the claim can proceed.

As well as accessing information online, enquirers can also call 0800 279 8263.

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) February 28, 2008

Peoples Health Insurance which provides Florida health insurance quotes, looks forward to the coming debate over Governor Charlie Crist’s proposed Florida health care changes.

“The Florida Governor has tapped into the national health care discussion to advance the unique needs of our state,” says Porter Hail, owner of Clearwater-based Peoples Health Insurance, LLC. “Floridians need health care reform that does not unfairly burden the small business owners who dominate the state. We believe that Crist’s approach properly supports an individual health insurance based system.”

Governors from Florida to California are working to develop and interject their own citizen health care plans and ideas. Across the country, health insurance access, the quality of care and the cost of coverage are issues that have skyrocketed to the forefront of the 2008 Presidential election. Both Democratic candidates, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, advanced sweeping health care changes. American voting decisions this fall will clearly turn on the question of who will best define the health care system of the 21st Century.

According to a March, 2008 report released by Consumer Reports, six guaranteed health care principles enjoyed an 80% approval rating. They included:

Coverage for all uninsured children;
Protection against financial ruin due to a major illness or accident;
The ability to obtain coverage regardless of a preexisting condition;
Coverage that continues even when people are laid off, change jobs or start their own business;
Affordable premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses relative to family income;
The ability to keep current health coverage if desired.
“If Governor Christ is serious about improving Florida health care, its citizens should demand that he devote more of his March 4, 2008, State of the State speech on the unknown details of his medical insurance plan,” Hail says.

Individual insurance specialist Holly Hail of Peoples Health Insurance, LLC

agrees.

“I cannot understand what mechanisms anyone can implement that will reduce plan costs enough to reach the monthly premium goal of 0.00 or less. I spend most every day quoting affordable health plans for prospective clients and a budget I would recommend to a 25-year old healthy person would be in the 0.00 range. How could health insurance carriers offer a similar plan to an older adult with chronic health conditions?”

The controversial aspect of Crist’s proposal is that, in the event the legislature does pass his initiative, it would depend upon private insurers’ willingness to participate. However, Peoples Health Insurance believes that both the Florida Legislature and health insurers will back the initiative only if the end goals are reduced thus losing the positive benefits it could provide to all citizens. Not only would people who need to find affordable plans be excluded, the broader benefits of having everyone covered would be lost. Peoples Health Insurance expects this initiative will promote widespread debate in the health insurance industry, and continues to focus on Floridians’ health care needs as the future of health insurance in the state is uncertain.
