Despite the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) seizing Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) customers' deposits in Asia, they remain indebted to First Citizens Bank for outstanding loans. SVB's branch in the Cayman Islands, which held clients from China, Singapore, and other parts of Asia, was not part of the deal. First Citizens said it is willing to provide debt extensions to some Asian funds, but requests for additional credit-line increases will no longer be approved. SVB's Cayman depositors will be viewed as general unsecured creditors and can file claims by July 10.
First Citizens Bank will be cutting about 500 jobs, or 3% of its workforce, associated with the recent takeover of the failed Silicon Valley Bank, which became the largest bank failure since the financial crisis in 2008. The move will only affect "select" corporate Silicon Valley Bank positions, and employees in customer-facing jobs will not be involved. The FDIC shut down SVB as it faced a liquidity crunch following a $2 billion loss, and the bank served mostly technology workers and venture capital-backed companies.
First Citizens Bank has laid off around 500 workers at Silicon Valley Bank, which it recently acquired after it was seized by federal regulators. The layoffs are less than 3% of the SVB workforce, and none of those being laid off were in "customer facing" positions or part of its support team in India. First Citizens CEO Frank Holding Jr. said the layoffs were necessary to ensure the bank's workforce and costs are appropriate for its size. Earlier this week, First Citizens sued a rival bank, alleging it poached SVB workers to set up a business unit that would compete with it.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has agreed to reimburse First Citizens Bank for 50% of all commercial loan losses if the losses of those loans made by Silicon Valley Bank are above $5 billion. The FDIC has done so nine previous times, on more than $8 billion in other loans First Citizens assumed from failed institutions. Loss-share agreements became a fixture following the 2008 financial crisis as regulators took down hundreds of banks and scrambled to find buyers willing to take on a mountain of troubled mortgages.

First Citizens has purchased more than 20 small banks since 2008, with assistance from the FDIC. The Holding family collectively owns about 20% of the stock in the Raleigh-based company and has nearly 50% of the voting power. With the SVB deal, First Citizens is moving into the ranks of the largest 20 banks in the US, with $219 billion in assets.
First Citizens Bank's acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank has been met with positivity from investors and could be a huge growth opportunity for the Triangle and North Carolina.

First Citizens Bank will acquire all the deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bank, which collapsed earlier this month, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The deal covers $119bn in deposits and $72bn in assets, and SVB's 17 branches will open as First Citizens on Monday. Depositors of SVB will automatically become depositors of First Citizens Bank, and the FDIC will continue to insure deposits. The collapse of SVB sparked a crisis of confidence among customers of similarly sized US banks, with many withdrawing their money and depositing it into bigger institutions seen as too big for the government to not bail out in a crisis.
First Citizens Bank, owned by the Holding family, has acquired Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in a landmark FDIC-assisted deal, doubling its size to $219bn and becoming one of the 20 largest banks in America.

First Citizens has been on a mission to expand nationwide via opportunistic acquisitions, with its growth accelerating since the 2008 financial crisis thanks in part to a series of more than 20 FDIC-assisted acquisitions of small failed banks.
First Citizens Bank will acquire about $72 billion in assets from the failed Silicon Valley Bank, while the remaining $90 billion of assets will remain in receivership with the FDIC.
