US multinational banking giant JPMorgan Chase has emerged as the lucky buyer of the beleaguered regional banking firm, First Republic Bank.
like mentioned By CNBC, JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) has acquired all of First Republic Bank’s (NYSE: FRC) deposits and a significant number of its shares. The takeover became possible after regulators took control of the bank on Monday. This notably placed the collapse of First Republic Bank as the worst in the US banking system since 2008. According to JPMorgan, it views the takeover as its own way of helping preserve the integrity of the US financial system.
“Our government has called on us and others to step up, and we have done so.” He said Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase Jamie Dimon. “Our financial strength, capabilities and business model allowed us to develop a bid to execute the transaction in a way that minimizes costs to the Deposit Insurance Fund.”
According to JPMorgan Chase, the deal saw it obtain $173 billion in loans and about $30 billion in First Republic Bank securities. The combined deposit of FRC acquired by JPMorgan was $92 billion. Notably, this includes $30 billion provided for the collapsed bank by large financial institutions in the United States. The company said those deposits will be paid in full before the deal closes.
“This acquisition benefits our company overall, is accretive to shareholders, helps enhance our wealth strategy, and is complementary to our existing franchise,” Dimon said.
There has been a lot of comment regarding JPMorgan’s takeover of FRC. While some have described the acquisition as a way for the government to standardize the financial system in preparation for a possible digital dollar, others believe the whole move exposes the fragility of the US banking system.
