Officials announced Monday that they closed First Republic had wealthy clients who rarely defaulted on their loans. But the vast majority of deposits were above the $250,000 limit set by the FDIC, meaning they were uninsured. And that worried analysts and investors who were worried that if First Republic were to fail, its customers might not get all their money back. The First Republic deal announced Monday means customers will be able to access all of their money, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

May 1 (Reuters) - The focus of the U.S. regional banking crisis turned on First Republic Bank in late March after the wealthy clients it courted to fuel its breakneck growth began pulling their deposits. With no let-up in pressure on First Republic Here are some of the factors behind its fall and what the JPMorgan deal is likely to mean: FIRST REPUBLIC'S GROWTH Founded in 1985 by James "Jim" Herbert, son of a community banker in Ohio, First Republic focused early on providing big loans at cheap rates. Merrill Lynch acquired the bank in 2007 but First Republic was listed on the stock market again in 2010 after being sold by Merrill's new owner, Bank of America. First Republic's business model was to lure high net-worth customers with preferential rates on mortgages and loans. Its customers have included Instacart founder Apoorva Mehta, investor Chamath Palihapitiya and real estate developer Stephen M. Ross, according to bank promotional materials. First Republic also catered to other members of the community, according to bank materials which note that schools and non-profits account for 22% of its business loans. First Republic said in January its shareholder returns were compounded at 19.5% annually, more than double its peers. It said its median single-family home loan borrower had access to cash of $685,000, significantly more than the average American. However, its strategy made it more vulnerable than regional lenders with less-affluent customers, since U.S. deposit i...

A spokesperson for the Treasury Department sought to reassure the markets and the public after First Republic, with $229.1 billion in total assets at the time of closure, eclipsed Silicon Valley Bank ($209 billion at the time of closure) to become the second-largest bank failure in American history. “The banking system remains sound and resilient, and Americans should feel confident in the safety of their deposits and the ability of the banking system to fulfill its essential function of providing credit to businesses and families,” the spokesperson said in a statement. The intervention comes days after First Republic reported losing about 40% of its deposits in the first quarter of the year. Amid rising interest rates and after the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank this year, a growing cohort of depositors sought to move their money to banks seen as safer and offering more attractive returns. Among medium-sized banks, First Republic was most affected by the trend: As of mid-March, about 70% of its deposits were uninsured, according to Bank of America, meaning they were larger than the FDIC’s $250,000 guaranteed limit. In addition to the uninsured deposits, First Republic was also carrying many loans with fixed, long-term interest rates that have begun to lose value as the Federal Reserve has First Republic had said in a press release last week that it was seeking help to reshape its balance sheet after the massive deposit flight. On Friday night, the bank...
