This ensures customer deposits are protected and can bank as normal, with no taxpayer support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased we have reached a resolution in such short order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHSBC is Europe\u2019s largest bank, and SVB UK customers should feel reassured by the strength, safety and security that brings them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HSBC and the Treasury said customers of SVB UK will be able to access their deposits and banking services as normal following the sale to HSBC for a nominal sum of \u00a31.<\/p>\n<p>There had been mounting worries that the collapse of SVB \u2013 the second-largest bank failure in history \u2013 could also have sent shockwaves through the technology and life sciences sector in the UK, with many of those firms customers of the bank\u2019s British business.<\/p>\n<p>SVB UK had around \u00a36.7 billion of deposits and loans of about \u00a35.5 billion as at Friday last week, while its balance sheet stood at \u00a38.8 billion, according to the Bank of England.<\/p>\n<p>But the Bank said the \u201cscale of the deterioration of liquidity and confidence means that, in the view of the Bank and the PRA, the position was not recoverable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, the Bank of England decided, in consultation with HM Treasury, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to use the resolution powers for stabilising failing banks that were brought in following the financial crisis,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The Bank stressed that all services will continue to operate as usual at SVB UK following the deal, with all staff remaining employed by the bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustomers can continue to contact SVB UK through the usual channels and borrowers should make any loan repayments to SVB UK as normal,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>The wider UK banking system \u201cremains safe, sound, and well capitalised\u201d, the Bank added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/theindustry.beauty\/thg-among-uk-plcs-to-update-on-exposure-to-silicon-valley-bank-collapse\/\">...<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":216305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10585,6,10494],"tags":[10221,22830,23252,23253,16916],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
