According to a report by the Times of Israel, the country\u2019s two largest banks were able to transfer $1 billion out of Silicon Valley Bank to accounts in Israel before it was seized by the feds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the 16th largest bank in the United States at the time of its failure late last week, collapsed after a run on deposits and was placed into the receivership of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).<\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s collapse represented the second biggest bank failure in U.S. history, with the FDIC being forced to guarantee 100 per cent of both insured and uninsured customer deposits.<\/p>\n

While the collapse of SVB took many by surprise, financial authorities in Israel were apparently ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael\u2019s two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, set up a situation room that has been operating around the clock to help firms transfer their money from SVB \u2014 before it was seized \u2014 to accounts in Israel,\u201d reports the Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past few days, teams at LeumiTech, the high-tech banking arm of Bank Leumi, have been able to help their Israeli clients transfer about $1 billion to Israel, the bank said.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many companies in the U.S. were not able to withdraw funds before the bank\u2019s failure, Ha\u2019aretz reports<\/a> that \u201ca good many Israeli companies had been able to get their money out in time, but that it was clearly not the case for everyone\u201d and that \u201ccompanies whose deposits are now locked will seek to conceal this, concerned that any rumors might drive away customers, suppliers and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Israel already receiving $10 million a day via U.S. taxpayers, it remains unclear if the FDIC will be returning any money to Israeli companies that was previously held with SVB.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWhile the fund going to the depositors is paid into by U.S. banks, it is ultimately backstopped by the Treasury Department \u2014 and therefore U.S. taxpayers,\u201d reported the Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we highlighted<\/a> yesterday, Signature Bank in New York was also shut down by regulators on Sunday, with some observers noting that it was the same bank to close down Donald Trump\u2019s accounts following the incident at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
