President Joe Biden insisted on Monday that the US banking system remains safe and no one should panic after the second and third largest bank failures in the country’s history occurred within 48 hours.
In response to the crisis, regulators insured all deposits in the two banks and instituted a program that effectively threw a lifeline to other banks to protect them from a deposit run.
“Your deposit will be there when you need it,” Biden told the crowd, trying to show a guarantee of calm, as reported by Breitbart News.
He also said that SVB bank executives responsible for the failures would be held accountable.

In other developments, the Federal Reserve announced that it will reassess its supervision of the SVB.
“We need to be humble and do a careful and thorough review of how we supervise and regulate this company, and what we should learn from this experience,” said Michael Barr, the Fed’s vice chair for supervision, who will lead the effort.
