The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has shuttered a rural bank in Cagayan due to insolvency.

In an Aug. 18 circular, the BSP said the Monetary Board—its highest policy-making body—prohibited Rural Bank of Claveria (Cagayan) Inc. from doing business.

The Monetary Board placed the rural bank under receivership of state-run Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC).
