Louisiana bankers see few parallels between Silicon Valley Bank collapse, local market

The collapse Friday of Silicon Valley Bank, which sent shares of many regional banks tumbling Monday as it sent shockwaves through financial markets, overtook New Orleans' First NBC Bank as the largest U.S. bank to fail since the financial crisis of 2008.
But even as the failures of SVB and New York-based Signature Bank, which collapsed over the weekend, inevitably recalled the $1 billion collapse of First NBC, Louisiana bank executives and economists said there were few parallels between the local bank failure in 2017 and the recent demise of SVB and Signature.
More importantly, they said there is little reason to worry about the viability of Louisiana’s community and regional banks.
Compared to Silicon Valley Bank and many other lenders, they conduct far less business with the San Francisco startup and venture capital world that pulled millions of dollars from SVB, have fewer uninsured deposits, manage more balanced portfolios and have different investment philosophies than did SVB and Signature.
“We’re just a totally different type of company than SVB and Signature,” said Jude Melville, president of Baton Rouge-based B1Bank. “Most community banks are very different than SVB and Signature.”
Melville and his counterparts at other local financial institutions said they spent time Monday reaching out to customers in emails and phone calls to reassure them that all is well.

What do you expect them to say? We were irresponsible stewards of customers money and we are fricked if everyone tries to withdraw funds?

Banks with diversified assets aren't in danger of this type of collapse. That's true, and also why we shouldn't be bailing them out. There should be consequences for bad investments.

You can’t frick over the depositors because of the banks investment choices

What effect will this have on crawfish prices?

Then they are willfully ignorant.
There isn't a bank on the planet that has the liquidity to handle a major depositor run.

This is real life not some made up land. Life isn't fair. Make better choices with your money. Did you never learn how banks work?

Bankers say banks are safe?

The best run bank in the world would be fricked if everyone tried to withdraw ar once. That money is circulating as loans and investments.

True.
However, if people start to fear their money isn’t safe that’s how you start a true run on the banks. At that point even the capital one type places can fail and the whole thing crashes.

nah, America chose to lift the threshold on assets subject to TBTF regulations from 50 billion to 250 billion and set the conditions for a bank run of SBV's size to create panic and spread contagion.
The idea that the better choice would be to double down and frick swaths of businesses and individuals out of millions and that it wouldn't just accelerate a panic is naive.
Stop under-regulating the banking sector and allowing financial firms to get so big their insolvency can threaten the collapse of economies.
And this is bipartisan. It was, in part, Barney Frank, on behalf of Signature Bank, that successfully lobbied the Trump administration to raise the stress test threshold on his own bank(and banks like SVB) that was set up by his own regulation to prevent this very situation from occuring.

And you wouldn’t want them to as a depositor. If they did, we’d be paying ridiculous fees for the bank to hold our money.

The SVB & Signature Bank implosions just centered around cryto and start-ups. What we haven't seen yet and we will see it this year is the implosion of banks with large commercial lending units because this is the next ball to drop.
