The Silicon Valley Bank operates as a full-service bank that makes loans, accepts deposits, provides treasury management, online banking, foreign exchange trade, banking across international borders and multiple other services.
The bank based in Santa Clara came into crisis after its parent organisation, the SVB Financial Group on Wednesday announced the sale of $21 billion of its securities that were a part of its portfolio. The company had also announced that it will hold a sale of shares totaling to $2.25 billion to shore up its finances.
The move was in order to deal with high deposit outflow at the bank due to a downturn in the start-up industry. Additionally the bank also reported a decline in the net interest income.
