FDIC will allow participants to submit separate bids for Silicon Valley Bridge Bank and its subsidiary Silicon Valley Private Bank. FDIC will allow bidders to submit their bidding on Silicon Valley Private Bank by March 22 and seek bids for on Silicon Valley Bridge Bank by March 24.

Silicon Valley Bridge Bank is currently operating as a nationally chartered bank. Depositors are not impacted and can continue to access their money through Silicon Valley Bridge Bank.

“Vendors and counterparties with contracts with the bridge bank are legally obligated to continue to perform under the contracts. Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A., has the full ability to make timely payments to vendors and counterparties and otherwise perform its obligations under the contract.”

The bridge bank was set up by the FDIC on March 13 to take receivership of SVB’s assets and liabilities. SVB Private Bank includes the remnants of Boston Private, the wealth-oriented bank SVB acquired in 2021.
