Whenever the Federal Reserve sent its cash page — a list of checks and other deals for the lender to process – to SVB, it failed to enough pull together currency to meet it, according to the California regulator.
Investors and depositors attempted to pull $42 billion from Silicon Valley Bank on Thursday in another of the biggest US bank runs in more than ten years, according to a Friday filing that is regulatory.
The Department of Financial Protection and Innovation during the close of the company on March 9, the bank had an adverse cash balance of $958 million, according to an order taking possession associated with the bank filed Friday by California’s bank regulator.

Your order shines a light on the scale regarding the bank run faced by the financial institution, that was placed into Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. receivership by the continuing state regulator. The scale of attempted withdrawals was therefore large and the financial institution went out of cash and ways to get it.
Once the Federal Reserve sent its cash page — a listing of checks along with other transactions for the bank to process – to SVB, it didn’t have enough pull-together money to meet it, according to the Ca regulator.
“Despite attempts from the lender, with the help of regulators, to transfer security from various sources, the bank didn’t meet the Federal Reserve to its money letter,” the order from Commissioner Clothilde Hewlett said.
Venture withdrawals
Wednesday the run was sparked by a letter that Silicon Valley Bank Chief Executive Officer Greg Becker delivered to investors. The financial institution had suffered a $1.8 billion loss regarding the sale of US treasuries and mortgage-backed securities and outlined an intent to raise $2.25 billion of capital to shore its funds up.
Customers immediately attempted to pull their funds, including many for the venture-capital firms the financial institution had developed over decades. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Coatue Management, Union Square Ventures, and Founder Collective all advised their startups to pull their cash from the bank, people familiar with the problem said.
The withdrawals initiated by depositors and investors amounted to $42 billion alone, according to the regulator Thursday. Despite being in sound financial condition just before Thursday, the Ca watchdog said the run “caused the bank to be unable of paying its obligations it had been now insolvent while they come due,” and.
The bank was then closed by the California DFPI and placed into FDIC receivership, marking the failure that is the biggest of the US bank since the financial crisis.
