FDIC Reveals Top Depositors at Silicon Valley Bank, Including Circle and Sequoia

Stablecoin issuer Circle and venture capital firm Sequoia Capital were among the top 10 depositors at the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March, according to documents from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Circle reportedly held roughly $3.3 billion in deposits, while Sequoia had roughly $1 billion. The FDIC and Federal Reserve have worked to make both insured and uninsured depositors whole following the SVB collapse, which has put a spotlight on how regulators in the United States handle deposit insurance.

"Caution urged on excessive funds in payment apps like Venmo"

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has warned Americans against keeping large amounts of money in payment apps like Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App as they are not federally regulated banks and deposits held in them may not be federally insured. The lack of federal regulation and oversight on the apps is concerning given the massive amounts of money passing through them. The CFPB also found that user agreements for the payment apps often contain little to no information about whether a user's money can be insured in a given app.

Financial watchdog warns of payment app vulnerability for stored money.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has warned customers of Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp not to store their money with those apps for the long term because the funds might not be safe during a crisis. Money stored in Venmo or CashApp or Apple Cash is not being held in a traditional bank account, so if there is an event similar to a bank run with those payment apps, those funds may not be protected.

Financial watchdog warns against storing money in payment apps like Venmo and Cash App.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has warned customers of Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp not to store their money with those apps for the long term because the funds might not be safe during a crisis. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures bank accounts up to $250,000, but money stored in Venmo or CashApp or Apple Cash is not being held in a traditional bank account. The CFPB said that some of the funds may be eligible for pass-through insurance coverage if customers do certain activities with the apps, but generally, by default, the apps are not covered by deposit insurance.

CFPB warns of vulnerability in payment app funds

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has warned that money held in non-bank, peer-to-peer payment apps is not guaranteed for federal deposit insurance protection, making the funds more vulnerable. The watchdog said that 85% of adults aged 18 to 29 in the US who have used PayPal, Cash App, Zelle and other peer-to-peer apps would be in danger of losing their money if it was stored on one of those platforms and the companies failed. The risks to user funds increase as the applications grow in popularity.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has warned customers of Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp not to store their money with these apps for the long term because the funds might not be safe during a crisis. Money stored in these payment apps may not be protected in the event of a bank run or financial distress, as they are not held in a traditional bank account and lack individual deposit insurance coverage. While some funds may be eligible for pass-through insurance coverage, customers may not fully appreciate when or under what conditions they would be protected.

FDIC imposes multi-billion dollar fees on big US banks for bank failure fund.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will apply a "special assessment" fee of 0.125% to the uninsured deposits of lenders in excess of $5 billion to replenish the $16 billion hit to a key deposit insurance fund caused by recent bank failures. The fee applies to all banks, but in practice, it would affect lenders with more than $50 billion in assets, which would cover over 95% of the cost. Banks with less than $5 billion in assets would not pay any fee. The levy would be collected over eight quarters beginning in June 2024.

US Regional Banks at Risk of Failure Due to Deposit Rules and Commercial Real Estate Collapse

Activist investor Nelson Peltz has called for the creation of a new deposit insurance scheme to protect savers in the event of bank failures. Peltz argues that the current system, which is backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, is inadequate and that a new scheme is needed to ensure financial stability. The proposal is part of a wider push for regulatory reform in the US banking sector.

FDIC Proposes Changes to Deposit Insurance Policy After Bank Failures.

The FDIC is proposing three options for restructuring its deposit insurance system following recent instability at multiple US banks, including limited coverage, unlimited coverage, and targeted coverage. The FDIC most supports targeted coverage, which would offer different deposit insurance limits across account types. All three options would require congressional action. JPMorgan Chase Bank has been approved to assume all deposits of First Republic Bank, which was widely seen as the bank most likely to collapse next after the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

JPMorgan Chase's Size Sparks Concerns Among Analysts and Investors

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) suggests a larger limit for certain business accounts might have advantages after First Republic Bank collapsed this weekend. All the bank's deposits, and most of its assets, were sold to JPMorgan Chase. Tomas Philipson, former acting chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, discusses the risks of JPMorgan Chase becoming even bigger after it took over First Republic Bank. He believes that too big to fail policies are increasing concentration in the banking sector, leading to lower deposit rates and higher interest rates on loans.

FDIC proposes sweeping deposit insurance reforms in response to bank failures.

The FDIC has proposed three options for deposit insurance reform, including raising the limit, eliminating the cap entirely, or raising the insurance cap only for banks’ business accounts. The regulator would need Congress to pass legislation to make any of those changes. FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg acknowledged that expanding deposit insurance has the potential to “create moral hazard by providing an incentive for banks to take on greater risk,” but he said strong regulation and supervision could alleviate those concerns. The collapse of First Republic Bank has led regulators to seek to stem the crisis of confidence in the banking system.

"FDIC proposes changes to deposit insurance limits and banking incentives"

The FDIC is proposing an increase in deposit insurance for business payment accounts following recent bank failures. The agency's report did not specify the appropriate increased level of deposit insurance for business payment accounts. The FDIC considered two other deposit insurance reforms but found that targeting business accounts for increased insurance was the best option since it has the largest "financial stability benefits relative to its costs." Increasing deposit insurance poses a moral hazard and a cost associated with raising the insurance cap. It would most likely require Congressional action and result in increasing the premiums that banks pay to the FDIC.
