(Reuters) - U.S. banking regulators are close to a deal to dispose of failed IndyMac Bancorp Inc , the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the situation.
It was not immediately clear who the buyer is and how much it would pay, the paper said adding that it is possible that multiple buyers may take parts of IndyMac's business.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) took control of Pasadena, California-based IndyMac on July 11 after worried customers pulled out more than $1.3 billion of deposits over 11 days.
The FDIC could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters.
