First Republic Bank Is Seized, Sold to JPMorgan in Second-Largest U.S. Bank Failure

Regulators seized First Republic Bank and struck a deal to sell the bulk of its operations to JPMorgan Chase & Co., heading off a chaotic collapse that threatened to reignite the recent banking crisis.

JPMorgan said it will assume all of First Republic’s $92 billion in deposits—insured and uninsured. It is also buying most of the bank’s assets, including about $173 billion in loans and $30 billion in securities.

JPMorgan Chase to buy most First Republic assets after bank fails

JPMorgan Chase is buying most assets of First Republic Bank after the nation’s second-largest bank failure ever, in a deal announced early Monday that protects the deposits of First Republic’s customers.

JPMorgan Chase said it had acquired “the substantial majority of assets” and assumed the deposits, insured and uninsured, of First Republic from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the independent government agency that insures deposits for bank customers.

Why Nothing Could Stop First Republic’s Collapse

After a weekend considering their options, federal regulators took over the troubled, San Francisco–based First Republic Bank early Monday morning and sold most of its operations to JPMorgan Chase, in what amounts to the second-largest U.S. bank failure ever. (The biggest was Washington Mutual in 2008.) This was a somewhat predictable endpoint for First Republic after a weekslong slog of pulled deposits, lowered investor confidence, and gargantuan stock plunges.

First Republic Bank: JPMorgan Chase buys control of failed bank after federal regulators seized control

Financial regulators in California took control of First Republic Bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in charge, who then sold the bank to JPMorgan Chase, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation announced early Monday morning.

JPMorgan Chase has now assumed "all deposits, including all uninsured deposits, and substantially all assets of First Republic Bank," and its 84 branches in eight states will reopen Monday as part of JPMorgan Chase.
