Deposit fund assessment proposal likely happening
The FDIC estimates the cost of resolving Silicon Valley Bank will likely be $20 billion, which will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said earlier this week.
In prepared testimony released ahead of two congressional hearings this week on the recent bank closures, Gruenberg did not say what form the assessment would take or which institutions would be required to pay. The agency will put forward a proposal for comment in May, he said, along with a report following a “comprehensive review of the deposit insurance system.”
The cost for resolving Signature Bank is estimated at $2.5 billion, Gruenberg said. Both cost estimates are subject to change depending on the ultimate recoveries for each receivership.
North Carolina bank assumes deposits, loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, by First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Raleigh, North Carolina.
The 17 former branches of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, opened as First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company on Monday.
Depositors of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, will automatically become depositors of First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company. All deposits assumed by First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company will continue to be insured by the FDIC up to the insurance limit.
We are family: OBA Convention open for registration!
The Oklahoma Bankers Association and its member banks constitute a family … and the family is made up of many members. Nearly 200 banks and 20,000 bank employees across the state constitute the OBA’s family tree, and we’d sure like to a see a large representative portion of those at our annual convention on May 8-10!
This year’s convention has the theme “We are family” and will be held at the Embassy Suites in Norman. We hope as many banks and bankers as possible take part in our little family reunion this year!
