The collapse of New York-based Signature Bank, the third largest bank collapse in U.S. history, has sparked concerns in the state and forced Governor Kathy Hochul to try and reassure customers.Signature Bank branches opened Monday as Gov. Kathy Hochul assured New Yorkers that their deposits at the bank were secure. "We want to make sure that there's not a ripple effect, because of people getting anxious, start withdrawing. Then it creates instability," Governor Hochul warned.
But Hochul promised that deposits were protected – even those whose holdings exceed the $250,000 insurance limit. "A number of banks were under everyone's watchful eye," Department of Financial Services superintendent Adrienne Harris said, adding, "So Signature, because of the amount of outflows we saw on Friday, we knew we were going to have to take action over the weekend so that they could open on Monday."
"Am I nervous? No, it's backed. It’s secure," said another customer leaving the Signature Bank branch in Murray Hill. "The government's doing the right thing. So all of it’s good, and I left a ton of money in the bank."
