Tim Mayopoulos, who was appointed by regulators to run SVB, sent an email to clients on Tuesday telling them the bank is in business and wants their deposits.
In an email to clients that was also posted on SVB's website, Mayopoulos told the bank's client base that "depositors have full access to their money," adding that both fresh inflows and existing deposits were fully protected by the FDIC.
"The number one thing you can do to support the future of this institution is to help us rebuild our deposit base, both by leaving deposits with Silicon Valley Bridge Bank and transferring back deposits that left over the last several days," Mayopoulos wrote.fled the failing institution just after a mid-quarter report that showed it had sold $21 billion worth of securities at a loss. SVB's failure was the second-largest ever for a U.S. bank, behind the 2008 collapse of Washington Mutual. Federal regulators intervened over the weekend, guaranteeing that depositors would not suffer losses as the contagion threated to spread to other banks.
In the post, Mayopoulos didn't specify a limit on FDIC protection, in line with federal regulators' comments that the backstop would be structured in a "manner that fully protects all depositors." The FDIC is only mandated to insure $250,000 worth of deposits per customer.
