Long lines at several Northern California branches of the San Francisco-based state savings bank did not recur as United’s predominantly Chinese-American depositors appeared to have accept federal assurances that their deposits were insured up to $100,000 per account.

United says it expects to post a net loss of $7.5 million in its second quarter.
