Wall Street — not taxpayers — will pay for the SVB and Signature deposit relief plans

Key Points

  • The money to fully reimburse depositors of the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank and the shuttered Signature Bank will be furnished by other banks, not taxpayers, Treasury officials said.
  • The Deposit Insurance Fund, which will cover the deposits, is funded with quarterly fees assessed on financial institutions and interest on government bonds.
  • Using the DIF to shore up depositors is seen by the Biden administration as a way to avoid reigniting the public anger sparked by the 2008 taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailouts.

So the money there to protect other banks also up to 250k is being used to give svb depositors their UNINSURED portions?

Can someone clarify if I interpreted that correctly?
