First Citizens Bank acquires Silicon Valley Bank's assets in multi-billion dollar deal.

Community activists are urging First Citizens BancShares to uphold the $11.2 billion community benefits agreement made by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in 2021, which was set to run through December 2026. Following the implosion of SVB's banking unit, advocates are worried about the disruption and potential loss of the plan. Discussions between First Citizens and at least three community reinvestment groups began last week, and more detailed meetings could take place as early as this week. The fact that First Citizens is engaged in its own five-year community benefits plan is a good sign, but it remains to be seen whether the bank will uphold SVB's commitments.

First Citizens' Acquisition of SVB Results in $500 Million Gain for FDIC

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) is set to receive a $500 million profit from First Citizens BancShares Inc.'s acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank.

The FDIC also exercised its option to buy shares of New York Community Bancorp Inc. following its deal to sell billions of dollars of Signature Bank's deposits to NYCB.

First Citizens Bank's acquisition of SVB assets questioned by Jim Cramer and praised by Chris Whalen

CNBC's Jim Cramer said that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates as long as the mini-banking crisis persists, but if a larger bank fails, the end to rate hikes would arrive faster, along with "a lot more pain." First Citizens Bancshares' takeover of Silicon Valley Bank does not necessarily act as a solution for the bank run problem, and Cramer pointed out that the system is not ready for a wave of bank failures.

First Citizens Bank's Acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank Assets Sparks Optimism in Stock Futures.

Multiple Banks Compete for Acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank

Valley National Bancorp has reportedly submitted a bid for Silicon Valley Bank after its collapse earlier this month, joining First Citizens BancShares as a competing bidder for SVB. The FDIC seized the lender and has been seeking to sell it for about two weeks, with a winner expected to be chosen in the sales process as early as this weekend. Silicon Valley Bank was shut down by the FDIC as regulators moved to protect customers as it faced a liquidity crunch following a $2 billion loss, becoming the largest bank failure since the financial crisis.
