第一公民銀行(First Citizens Bank)將收購硅谷銀行(Silicon Valley Bank)的大部分資產(chǎn)。硅谷銀行主要涉足科技行業(yè),其在本月倒閉,并引發(fā)了連鎖反應,動搖了人們對全世界銀行的信心。
聯(lián)邦存款保險公司(Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.)和其他監(jiān)管部門已經(jīng)采取了非常措施,保證硅谷銀行和另外一家倒閉的簽名銀行(Signature Bank)的所有儲戶都能提取自己的存款,即使存款金額超過聯(lián)邦存款保險公司承保的25萬美元限制,以防止發(fā)生更大規(guī)模的危機。
第一公民銀行宣布收購硅谷銀行的消息最初似乎確實達到了監(jiān)管部門的目的:維持全美民眾對地方銀行的信心。
第一共和銀行(First Republic)、西太平洋合眾銀行(PacWest Bancorp)以及其他多家銀行的股價隨后出現(xiàn)上漲。投資者認為,這些銀行面臨大批客戶突然出現(xiàn)緊張情緒的風險最高,這和導致硅谷銀行倒閉的擠兌情形類似。
投資者和專家表示,該筆交易表明,硅谷銀行的資產(chǎn)確實有價值,并且有助于在一定程度上重建對銀行業(yè)的信心。但他們也表示,在經(jīng)歷過美國史上規(guī)模第二大和第三大銀行倒閉之后,這筆交易并不能立即解除對其他銀行的警報。恢復信心和解決其他銀行可能受到的影響,需要更多時間。
布魯金斯學會(Brookings Institution)高級研究員、前美國財政部官員阿倫·克萊因表示:“金融系統(tǒng)就像是一艘船。硅谷銀行的倒閉讓這艘船搖擺不定,但它正在自我調(diào)整?!?/p>
他說道:“硅谷銀行倒閉將我們推下‘深淵’,今天的好消息讓我們在逃離深淵的過程中邁出了積極的一步。但損失也是巨大的:200億美元真金白銀,即使在華盛頓看來,也不是一個小數(shù)目?!?/p>
這200億美元是指聯(lián)邦存款保險公司表示其存款保險基金因硅谷銀行倒閉所蒙受的損失。在與第一公民銀行的協(xié)議中,聯(lián)邦存款保險公司同意共同承擔從硅谷銀行收購的部分貸款產(chǎn)生的損失或收益。
這200億美元不會由納稅人買單。相反,這筆支出來自銀行向聯(lián)邦存款保險公司的基金支付的款項。但克萊因表示,為了彌補損失,銀行可能最終會略微提高客戶的手續(xù)費或者減少向客戶支付的利息。
“問題是損失將由誰來承擔?”他說道?!皯摐p少老年人的銀行存款的利息,還是說”在硅谷銀行存款超過25萬美元的大儲戶愿意損失部分存款?
第一公民銀行同意以165億美元的折扣價格,收購硅谷銀行價值約720億美元的資產(chǎn)。約900億美元的資產(chǎn)將保留在破產(chǎn)管理中,由聯(lián)邦存款保險公司處置。聯(lián)邦存款保險公司還獲得了與第一公民銀行的股票相關的權利,這些股票價值高達5億美元。
自3月中旬爆發(fā)銀行業(yè)危機以來,從美國財政部到美聯(lián)儲的官員都表示,他們依舊認為銀行系統(tǒng)是健全的和安全的。
羅斯福研究所(Roosevelt Institute)研究員、前聯(lián)邦存款保險公司的律師托德·菲利普斯表示,監(jiān)管部門采取的非常措施為這些觀點提供了支持。除了為硅谷銀行和簽名銀行提供存款擔保外,監(jiān)管部門還公布了一個項目,協(xié)助其他銀行更容易募集到資金。他認為,這一舉措穩(wěn)定了整個銀行系統(tǒng),盡管投資者正在拋售一些銀行股票。
菲利普斯表示:“聯(lián)邦政府和金融界所關心的問題截然不同。金融界似乎非常擔心會有更多銀行倒閉,導致股東損失殆盡,而聯(lián)邦政府更關心的是整個金融系統(tǒng)的健康和安全?!?/p>
他表示,他希望公開傳達的信息是:“你的存款是安全的。你不會蒙受損失。這其實是銀行的大機構股東面臨的一場危機,他們擔心資金損失。”
菲利普斯表示,接下來值得關注的是,國會是否會采取任何措施,擴大對銀行客戶的存款保護。
PNC資產(chǎn)管理集團(PNC Asset Management Group)首席投資官阿曼達·阿佳緹以投資者的角度看待整個銀行業(yè)面臨的困境,她認為未來還將有更多問題。只是她無法確定問題的嚴重程度和來源。
去年,美聯(lián)儲努力想控制高通脹,導致利率大幅上漲,這給銀行系統(tǒng)帶來了壓力,導致薄弱環(huán)節(jié)崩潰。她說道:“這凸顯出銀行系統(tǒng)面臨的壓力與日俱增?!边@可能迫使銀行減少貸款,進而給整個經(jīng)濟帶來更多壓力。
美聯(lián)儲上周再次加息,阿佳緹表示,美聯(lián)儲未來的舉措可能對市場和經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)生更大影響,遠超過接下來某家銀行股價下跌所產(chǎn)生的影響。
對于第一公民銀行收購硅谷銀行的交易,她表示:“我認為從整個市場的角度來看,該交易不會帶來任何變化?!?/p>
硅谷銀行位于加州圣克拉拉。3月10日,出于對該銀行償付能力的擔憂,大量客戶取款引發(fā)擠兌,導致該銀行倒閉。這是美國歷史上僅次于2008年華盛頓互惠銀行(Washington Mutual)破產(chǎn)的第二大銀行倒閉案。兩天后,紐約簽名銀行被監(jiān)管部門接管,成為美國史上第三大銀行倒閉案。
硅谷銀行的客戶將自動成為第一公民銀行的客戶。第一公民銀行總部位于北卡羅萊納州首府羅利市。聯(lián)邦貸款保險公司表示,17家原硅谷銀行的分行,將在周一作為第一公民銀行的分行開始營業(yè)。

First Citizens Bank is buying much of Silicon Valley Bank, the tech-focused financial institution whose failure this month set off a chain reaction that helped rattle faith in banks around the world.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and other regulators had already taken extraordinary steps to head off a wider crisis by guaranteeing all depositors in SVB and another failed institution, Signature Bank, could get their money, even if they had more than the $250,000 limit insured by the FDIC.
The First Citizens deal announced late Sunday, at least initially, seemed to achieve what regulators have sought: a shoring up of trust in other regional banks across the country.
Stock prices strengthened for First Republic, PacWest Bancorp. and other banks that investors have spotlighted as most at risk for a sudden exodus of nervous customers, similar to the run that caused Silicon Valley Bank’s failure.
The sale underscores that Silicon Valley Bank’s assets do have value and helps to rebuild some faith in the banking sector, investors and experts said. But they also said it doesn’t by itself provide an immediate all-clear for other banks following the second- and third-largest U.S. failures in history. Restoring trust and figuring out exactly what pain other banks may ultimately feel will take more time.
“The financial system is like a boat,” said Aaron Klein, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former official at the Treasury Department. “SVB’s collapse has rocked the boat, but the ship is righting itself.”
“The news today is good, it’s a positive step forward to digging out of the hole of the collapse that SVB put us in,” he said. “But losses are substantial: $20 billion is real money, even in Washington.”
That $20 billion is referring to the loss the FDIC says its deposit insurance fund could take because of Silicon Valley Bank’s failure. As part of the deal with First Citizens, the FDIC agreed to share in potential losses or gains coming out of some of the loans purchased from Silicon Valley Bank.
The $20 billion wouldn’t come from taxpayers. It would instead come from an FDIC fund that banks pay into. But banks could ultimately charge slightly more in fees or pay less in interest to their customers to help make up for it, Klein said.
“The question is who should bear those losses?” he said. “Should seniors get a few less interest points on their bank deposits, or should” big depositors with more than $250,000 at Silicon Valley Bank be willing to lose some of their cash?
First Citizens agreed to buy about $72 billion of Silicon Valley Bank’s assets at a discount of $16.5 billion. About $90 billion in assets remain in FDIC’s receivership. The FDIC also received rights related to First Citizen BancShares stock that could be worth up to $500 million.
Since the banking crisis began in mid-March, officials from the Treasury Department to the Federal Reserve have said they still see the system as sound and secure.
Todd Phillips, a fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and a former attorney at the FDIC, said extraordinary actions by regulators back up those statements. Besides guaranteeing deposits at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, regulators also announced a program to allow other banks to raise cash more easily. That has the overall banking system on more stable footing in his mind, even if investors are sending some bank stocks on wild runs.
“What D.C. is thinking and what New York is thinking about everything that’s going on is very different,” Phillips said. “New York appears to be very concerned that there are more banks that may fail and that shareholders will be wiped out, whereas D.C. is much more concerned about the health and safety of the financial system.”
He said his general message to people is: “Your deposits will be fine. You will be fine. This really is a crisis of large institutional shareholders of banks that are worried” about losing their money.
Phillips said the next big step will be to see if Congress does anything to broaden deposit protections for customers at banks.
Amanda Agati, chief investment officer of PNC Asset Management Group, looks at the banking industry’s struggles through the eyes of an investor, and she sees more pain coming. She just doesn’t know exactly how much and from where.
Interest rates have leaped over the last year as the Fed tries to get high inflation under control, and that’s squeezing the system and causing weak links to crack. “It’s highlighting increased stress in the system,” she said, and it could lead banks to lend less, which would put more pressure on the economy.
The Federal Reserve just raised interest rates again last week, and Agati said what it does going forward will likely have a greater impact on markets and the economy than which bank could be next to see its stock drop.
As for the First Citizens-Silicon Valley Bank deal, she said: “I don’t think it moves the needle at all in terms of the market overall.”
Silicon Valley Bank, based in Santa Clara, California, collapsed March 10 in a bank run after customers rushed to withdraw money due to fears over the bank’s solvency. It was the second-largest bank collapse in U.S. history after the 2008 failure of Washington Mutual. Two days later, New York’s Signature Bank was seized by regulators in the third-largest bank failure in the U.S.
Customers of Silicon Valley Bank will automatically become customers of First Citizens, which is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. The 17 former branches of SVB will open as First Citizens branches Monday, the FDIC said.
New York Community Bank agreed to buy a significant chunk of Signature Bank in a $2.7 billion deal a week ago, but the search for a buyer for SVB took longer.
First Citizens Bank, which was founded in 1898, saw its shares surge following the deal’s announcement. They were up a little more than 55% in late-day trading.
