A new study by Florida Atlantic University believes that 94 separate US banks are facing a significant risk of bank runs. The at risk banks have all reported a 50% or higher ratio of uninsured deposits to total deposits. Basically, they simply do not have the hard currency to shell out in the event of a panic.
Banks currently limit cash withdrawals under the pretense of money laundering and security. They will ask all sorts of questions if you even TRY to withdraw your money. They realize we are on the verge of a crisis in banking on a global scale.
The University’s Liquidity Risk from Exposures to Uninsured Deposits index found that BNY Mellon and John Deere Financial have a 100% ratio of uninsured deposits, followed by State Street Bank (92.6%), Northern Trust (73.9%), Citibank (72.5%), HSBC Bank (69.8%), JP Morgan Chase (51.7%), and U.S. Bank (50.4%).
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has the power to shutdown a bank before a bank run occurs. The FDIC is controlled by Congress and acts as a safety measure to protect insured deposits in the event of bank runs. Deposits over $250,000 are not insured nor are mutual funds, annuities, life insurance, bonds, or stocks. Uninsured depositors have experienced a mere 6% in losses over the past 16 years.
Let’s take a look at the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failure of March 2023. The FDIC agreed to make all account holders whole including those with uninsured deposits. SVB has an uninsured deposit ratio of 97% at the time and failing to cover all losses would have created a panic in the banking world. The FDIC invoked the “Systemic Risk Exception” for SVB and Signature Bank that enabled them to protect uninsured depositors when deemed necessary. Two-thirds of the FDIC board voted in favor of the measure and the Fed, Treasury Secretary, and president signed it off.
The FDIC relies on the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is backed by Washington. Now, what happens when multiple large banks fail? It was easy for the government to write off a few banks to brush the severity of the situation under the rug. If everyone tried to withdraw their accounts at the same time, the government would not have the hard currency to back it. This is one of the major reasons that we will see a conversion from hard currency to digital.
I have stressed that studies in ancient times as well as modern show that during a crisis you head toward DEFLATION as money becomes scarce, the VELOCITY of money collapses, and people HOARD wealth – they do not spend it. The US will experience a period of stagflation as GDP will decline as inflation soars. Banks will begin to fail in Europe before it becomes a global contagion.

I agree that there is a lot of risk in those loans, but that has nothing to do with the main point the article is making about risks associated with “uninsured deposits.”
The Shocking Truth About the FDIC and Your Bank Deposits
Lena Petrova also has some good insight on the fdic:

Study Finds 75 Percent of U.S. Banks Didn’t Hedge Interest Rate Risk; Unrealized Losses on Securities $516 Billion at End of First Quarter
Mine asks that for withdraws of over a thousand dollars that you give them advance notice so they can have it ready for you but I have gone in and asked for four thousand and gotten it.
No way it should be a "few days" and they do not have anything to "decide".
Now if your money is in a money market account that can be another thing.
But just for checking or savings account withdraw it should not be a problem.
I can’t help but wonder if this crisis which is pretty much guaranteed, has been on hold for now for the following reason....
What if the plan is to keep the current economy on life support in order to keep the banking industry afloat until after January 20 2025? What if the plan by deep state and the global Marxists, is to surrender the presidential election to Trump knowing the orchestrated crash is about to happen, and then after he assumes office they trigger the event?
Knowing they will blame this on Trump, would they then seek to impeach him?
They want to replace the presently unpacked fiat currency with a cashless form of currency. And those of us who have studied Biblical prophecy know and understand where this is heading.
If I recall, recently Jamie Diamond and Warren Buffet have been bailing on hundreds of millions of dollars worth of big bank stock shares.

The $5k withdrawal might also trigger a SAR. If it is a recurring monthly practice for her, maybe not. A one-off, it should.

BANK FAILURES: $517 Billion in Unrealized Losses, $9.3 Billion in Bad Loans Will Spark a Crisis

If you can't get it out of an ATM, it may be large. Certainly $5k and above would trigger a SAR in most cases.
"Truist Bank's daily ATM withdrawal limit depends on the type of checking account a customer has: Truist One Checking: The daily limit is $500 Other checking accounts: The daily limit is $2,500"
The $2500 number surprises me.
They're not interesting in the dollar as a store of value over the long term. They're interested in the value of the dollar as a medium of exchange today and for the future.
You've got the U.S. Treasury lending money at ridiculously low interest rates even while the country is $35T in debt. Who wouldn't consider that a huge success?
Many other nations have already bailed on the U.S. dollar because they see it as a disaster in the near future.
In 1971 the dollar was removed “temporarily” from being backed by gold. But it never returned as Nixon himself believed it would. Since then the dollar was essentially an un backed fiat currency.
Meanwhile other nations are dumping the dollar and buying up gold reserves.
The problem there is that anyone bailing on the U.S. dollar is still going to have to replace it with something else. And the U.S. dollar is pretty strong today relative to most other stable currencies.
Wife routinely electronically transfers $1K from her Truist account to our BOA account...
Primarily because the service in the Truist bank (formerly Sun Trust) is so abysmal...
We then go to BOA and withdraw $2k for our MGM (National Harbor) visit, with absolutely no problems...
My question is: After getting bailed out, did those high-flying executives at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank get canned for unsound bank management? Or are they still pulling down hefty salaries and bonuses?
Big-shots getting fired is what’s needed to stop banks from getting at risk.
Me, for one.
Crowing about having rapidly currency is a misplaced assessment and is only possible because it remains the most used reserve currency...for a while longer.
Sorry, “...rapidly devaluing currency...”
Not so much rapid, I suppose, but constant devaluing, with no end in sight.
