Spencer Fane attorney Adam LaBoda recently talked with Kansas City Business Journal reporter James Dornbrook about the impact Silicon Valley Bank’s fall might have on Midwest banks.
The article explained how the failure of California’s Silicon Valley Bank and New York-headquartered Signature Bank put eyes on regional banks, including some in Kansas City. Adam opined that the Silicon Valley and Signature collapses were based on factors unique to each institution and that depositors need to remain calm.
“Everyone should evaluate their financial institution and feel confident that they’ve made a good decision on where to put their money,” Adam said. “but most – if not all – of our regional financial institutions are pretty diversified by nature. There certainly is a level of comfort in that.”
