NEW YORK: State regulators are closing New York-based Signature Bank and it comes after California authorities shuttered Silicon Valley Bank, in a collapse that roiled global markets and stranded billions of dollars in deposits.
The US Treasury Department and other bank regulators said in a joint statement on Sunday that all depositors of Signature Bank will be made whole and “no losses will be borne by the taxpayer”.
