The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said it will place two full-time employees in Las Vegas to help borrowers who had loans with banks that failed.

Numerous loans made in Las Vegas are now held in receivership. So the FDIC decided to make it easier for borrowers to have an FDIC office to contact locally. The closest FDIC field office is 250 miles away in Monrovia, Calif.
The FDIC office will be at 1400 S. Rainbow Blvd. starting the week of April 12 and can be reached at 310-6203. Edmund Di Panni and Raymond Rudnicki will work out of the office for an undetermined length of time.
