In recent news, two banks in the United States have failed. The first, The Enloe State Bank in Texas, was closed by the Texas Department of Banking on May 31. The second, Louisa Community Bank in Kentucky, was closed by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions on June 6. So what happened, and what happens now? The Enloe State Bank had been under scrutiny by regulators for several years. In 2018, the bank's board of directors was ordered to stop risky lending practices and pay a $1 million fine for violating a law that prohibits banks from lending to insiders without proper documentation. In May 2019, regulators found that the bank had lost almost half of its capital and was in danger of failing. The bank was closed by regulators because it was unable to replenish its capital reserves. The Louisa Community Bank had been struggling for years as well. In 2018, the bank was ordered to raise additional capital by the end of the year, but was unable to do so. The bank was cited for deficiencies in its internal controls and risk management practices, and was closed by regulators because it was deemed to be insolvent. So what happens now that these banks have failed? The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) steps in to protect depositors. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. The FDIC will transfer insured deposits to another bank, and customers will have access to their funds as soon as possible. For some customers, the failure of a bank may cause inconvenience, such as having to switch to a new bank or waiting for access to funds. However, the FDIC's role is to ensure that customers are protected and that the banking system remains stable. These two bank failures are a reminder that even with regulations and oversight, banks can still fail. However, the FDIC's insurance program provides a safety net for depositors, and the banking system is able to continue functioning smoothly. https://inflationprotection.org/what-happened-and-whats-next-after-two-us-banks-experience-failure/?feed_id=88103&_unique_id=643ae166421d5 #Inflation #Retirement #GoldIRA #Wealth #Investing #sivb #svb #BankFailures #sivb #svb
