The financial services industry is experiencing shock waves following the recent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured bank failures. At a rate unseen since the 2008 financial crisis, three regional banks have succumbed to liquidity challenges and were either placed into FDIC receivership, or voluntarily dissolved.
ON MARCH 8, 2023, SILVERGATE CAPITAL CORPORATION (parent company of Silvergate Bank) decided to voluntarily liquidate. On March 10, 2023, California financial regulators stepped in and took possession of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and put it into FDIC receivership, in what was the largest failure of a U.S. bank since 2008. On March 12, 2023, New York financial regulators took possession of Signature Bank and put it into FDIC receivership. On March 17, 2023, SVB Financial Group (the former parent of SVB) filed a Chapter 11 in the Southern District of New York.
