March 21, 2023: A New York Community Bancorp subsidiary has agreed with U.S. regulators to get the deposits and loans from New York-based Signature Bank, closing a week ago.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation stated that the deal would see the subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, thinking all of Signature Bank’s deposits, a few of its loan portfolios and every 40 of its retired branches substantially.
The agency said that roughly $60 billion of Signature Bank’s money and $4 billion of its deposits would be receivership.

A signature had $110.36 billion in assets, whereas SVB had $209 billion.
Reuters reported on Sunday that the FDIC would relaunch its auction for SVB’s assets after not being attractive buyers for the whole bank.
Under the deal for Signature Bank assets, Flagstar will purchase $12.9 billion of loans at a discount of $2.7 billion.
The FDIC anticipated the deal would cost its Deposit Insurance Fund nearly $2.5 billion. The agency has also reported that the fund had carried $128.2 billion in 2022.
