The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) highlighted for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) some of the impediments to a quick bank sale, including failing to provide rapid access to quality financial data and lists of key employees.
Travis Hill, vice chairman of the FDIC, said in a speech Wednesday the sale of SVB in particular was hindered by its inability to populate a data room.
It took 16 days from the time SVB failed on March 10 until First Citizens Bank of North Carolina agreed to buy all the deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank.
