Implications of Silicon Valley Bank Closure
On Friday, March 10, 2023, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.
The FDIC created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara (DINB) and immediately transferred all insured deposits of SVB to DINB. The FDIC announced on March 10 that insured depositors will have access to their insured amounts by Monday morning, March 13, 2023, and that uninsured depositors will be paid an advanced dividend next week and will receive a receivership certificate for their additional uninsured deposits (which is not a guarantee of full repayment). Future payments of remaining uninsured deposits will occur as the FDIC liquidates additional assets. Information about the SVB receivership, how to file claims and links to the FDIC’s claims portal can be found at this link.
