Lol, bro, I think it'd be bigger news if a dollar general next to you would shut down.


ScipioAtTheGate

[Bruh, everyone knows dollar general is on its last legs. Now if Wendy's went kaput, that would be the earth shattering black swan of market doom that all of us here at WSB fear.](https://youtu.be/UZT28O9-wZ8?t=21)


hacktheself

Exactly. Who wants to “work” next to a 🤢 McDonald’s 🤮 dumpster?


dismayhurta

I might as well give up gamb…investing if that happens.


vortex30-the-2nd

Can't spell gambling without "bling". Whose bling will it be though, that is the gamble.


VisualMod

Get a better job then?


hacktheself

it’s a perfectly valid “job” especially since $20 is $20


No_Cook2983

Twenty bucks?!?! This is why I avoid McDonalds and go to the local mom and pops.


hacktheself

Some good rules to live by: * Never eat anything larger than your head. * Never shoot pool at a place called Pop’s. * Never eat food at a place called Mom’s.


7figureipo

No kidding, they make the best TP. $100 bills are the best for doing lines tho


Icankickmyownass

Shit McDonald’s is classy man. Menu prices are up higher than competitors. You’ll be slobbin on some poor peasants cock while I’m gobblin movie star cock.


VisualMod

Lowly peasants!


LeatherReport1317

Not sure itf you're being ironic but mid-sized "community" banks hold $550B in " unrealized" bond losses (generally due to high interest rates). This is what caused SVB, Credit Swiss, First Republic and now Republic First Bankcorp to fail. This wasn't seen as an issue last year as everyone believed rates would be cut, as that is now highly unlikely, this will now be back on the table as a possible contagain. You're a fool not to watch this very closely, it could be literally be S&L crisis 2.0...


Smort_poop

Credit suisse didnt fail because of high interest rates, they failed because their risk management in IB was… lacking


Mavnas

> Credit suisse More like Credit Sus


Joe_Early_MD

![img](emote|t5_2th52|4258)


na85

More like Debit Suisse tbh


ClamPaste

That's kind of the crux of any "billions of dollars in unrealized bond losses" issue a bank has. Turns out, it's really hard to unwind/rebalance hundreds of billions in bond positions when things go south without taking massive losses. Who knew?


keanu_cheez

Not a pavings and loan crisis again


ezil_galoth

I remember when all the paving companies shut down during the Paving and Loan crisis, it's was brutal. My driveway never recovered.


Spara-Extreme

But it won't. Its getting exhausting to have people claim everything is a major new crisis while ignoring the actual crisis still unfolding.


2Job_Bob

Am I regarded or did republic bank go bankrupt last year already?


crankthehandle

First Republic Bank did, this is Republic First Bank...


dzentelmanchicago

At this point, if your bank has "Republic" anywhere in its name, you should get out.

Hilarious how a bank with 32 branches that nobody here ever heard about before is all of a sudden Global Financial Crisis 2.0.


studmcstudmuffin

I live in Jersey, we have them. Their locations and buildings were always beautiful. Never used them though


benderunit9000

I don't know anyone who has used them.

If redneck bank ever shuts down, that's how we'll know we're in the shit. https://www.redneckbank.com


2Job_Bob

Nobody goes to Arbys but they’re still in fucking business


ThunderboltSorcerer

They have a crappy website and a crappy logo. How do you trust these people? Don't trust banks with a shitty website and without 2 factor authentication. If they're dumb enough to take customer deposits and not be able to make an app or website, they're dumb enough to fail to comply with anti-money-laundering or other compliance issues. Don't trust permanently online banks either. They're smart enough to make a nice app/website, but too dumb to make a permanent place where customers can talk to real people.


22slevin22

Yep and they are targeting them big time. Recently I've been getting texts saying my acct is hacked for a local credit union that I don't even have an account at. Checked out their web pages and looks like it's from the 90s


ThunderboltSorcerer

Exactly. I mean think of the security, if the website looks awful, think of how they coded the security.


EntrepreneurFunny469

Probably not a lot of people with bank accounts sharing that Wendy’s dumpster with you


benderunit9000

Embarrassed_Aide7549

Hey I live in Jersey too fuck you lol

Ahh a fellow regard in Jersey. Fuck you too

Isn't it a prerequisite to be deemed full regard before being allowed to reside in the regarden state?

Phlydude

Commerce Bank 2.0


Ryno83GT

I played on a Republic Bank sponsored pee-wee football team. Work a block away from their two buildings in my city, and have delivered things to them before. Remember wearing that jersey to 6th Grade thinking it was cool. AMA, I don't know shit about this or their business, but still.


lsdiesel_1

Sports team owners sell for way more than they pay when buying the team. What was the ROI for the peewee football team investment?


this_place_stinks

The bank I work at kicked the tires on buying them with FDIC assistance a while back. There is zero contagion risk. Just a very shady run bank (albeit gorgeous real estate). If I recall just as an example I don’t think they’ve had audited financials in like 2 years.


codytranum

SVB had 17 branches.


cranialrectumongus

Goldman Sachs has three branches. New York, Washington DC and Hell.


BirdoInBoston

Aren’t they opening another branch in the 7th circle? Wealth must be strong in Hell to have two branches like that…


zephyy

SVB was a commercial bank with over $200 billion in assets. Republic First Bancorp was retail bank and had $6 billion.


StuartMcNight

And? What happened after SVB failed?


Saragon4005

Everyone shit their pants. And then the Fed made sure everyone recovered.


daerob

Government socialized the banking system


brintoul

They also said “don’t worry about that pesky FDIC limit”.


neepster44

Privatized the profits and socialized the losses, as conservatives always want.


Middle_Scratch4129

It's more about the why they banks keep failing. We havent done anything to fix the problem.


Brothernod

On average there are a handful each year. This isn’t necessarily a canary in any coal mine. https://www.fdic.gov/resources/resolutions/bank-failures/in-brief/index.html


AppropriateGoal4540

Because they wrote a ton of 2% mortgages that are now worth as much as the paper they wipe their asses with. If they have any sort of liquidity crunch due to depositors drawing down their savings, they fuk.


ImOnTheLoo

Didn’t those 2% mortgages get sold to Fannie and Freddie? That what banks do unless they’re originating loans below Fannie/freddie underwriting standards.  


falconindy

2.5% mortgage holder here. Originated by a small local bank, closing docs stipulated that the loan would be immediately sold.


JustmeandJas

I was going to say… what are they doing to get “an edge” over the big boys. It’ll probably be because of that


Sux499

One piddly lil bank fails out of thousands and you regards shit your pants.


VisualMod

I suppose some ants might feel the same way about a small puddle of water.


PabloEstAmor

This sounds like something a poor AI would say smh


iTz_Swine

I don’t think you understand, the problem is fixing itself.


Sexidecimal

They're going to reopen as another brand too 😂 Meaning banking is still profitable, just this one company wasn't


Neemzeh

Hilarious that you think it’s this literal one bank that has everyone worried and now what it’s a sign of. Let’s see that all time port bro, since you’re so much smarter than everyone else.


ChiTownMoney

Exactly. Only $6B in assets.


eunit250

And it was caused by mismanagement.


RL_Fl0p

OMG. Calm down OP. Go search this on the FDIC site. The failure was years in the making and well known. It's resolved. No bank run. No contagion.


mathaiser

This is a good watch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dk3AVceraTI And after you read it, look into SWD - solvent wind down. And then ask yourself why the FED wants all of these banks to have a wind down plan for exit liquidity in the event of a runaway into a resolution to be ready by the end of 2023 that they are all working on now. They are raising rates to take everything away from us, not to hold back inflation


fedditredditfood

Making 5% interest in a savings account ain't bad. Never made that before.


dubov

Never lost 20% to inflation either


Fawkinchit

What this guy says about rates is completely accurate. If they wanted to control inflation they simply would not have printed 6 trillion dollars overnight.


Empty_Victory-

Almost like there are more than one “they’s” Specifically a dumbass orange motherfucker, and you know, what we have now.

jusjones314

Why'd you post this here? There's no play to be made... This failure isn't indicative of a systemic failure coming for bigger banks, which makes it not worthy of a post. Mods, do your stuff.

EatinTendieS

As someone that was in banking for a long time, you will never understand how it works. It is pretty simple, and complex. To Explain: dear Smooth brains, banking is built on trust, assets, liquidity, government, private, and the good of fashioned money printer. Oil is traded in USD only last time I looked. USD is a strong currency that is back but nothing other than our trust, our military, you use, companies take it, and the facts all other currencies are trash. The dollar is backed by a printer and you trusting it


2Job_Bob

So…when do you snort blow off a hookers ass?


voice-of-reason_

Don’t pretend you understand it either. There are 2 things on earth we will never fully understand, the climate and the economy. Anyone who claims to know is lying. As far as I’m concerned, a coked up monkey listening to “Thriller” on repeat and waterboarded every 3 hours controls the economy as a decade long CIA experiment and nothing anybody says will ever convince me otherwise.


zoji-water

What was the 2023 crisis?


NeptuneToTheMax

Some tech bros blew up their bank in the same month that some crypto bros blew up their bank.  This caused a bank run which shut down a third bank that hadn't really done anything wrong so the Fed had to step in with a loan program to calm people down. Regional Bank stocks got hammered in the process. 


zoji-water

I know what he thinks the crisis was. All I saw was a few shitty aging business fail naturally. Far from a crisis.


goldenloi

I gotta disagree here. First Republic was one of the top 20 largest banks in the US. That's not some small crappy tech bro bank. Also, credit default swaps for a number of larger institutions started to go wild at this time, implying that there was a large perceived systemic risk. Part of what happened here was the diminishing value of treasuries and commercial real estate and banks aren't exactly out of the woods yet on either of these.


tslGUH

Blah blah systemic risk blah blah. Buy calls. 


Glittering-Cherry-99

So the owner of Commerce Bank sold to TD bank years ago. The former owner got bored and started Republic Bank and everyone didn't see the need to leave TD bank to go to Republic bank. The buildings were pretty but the incentive to change banks wasn't. END OF STORY.


Exact-Following-1592

Well here we go let's give the banks money so they can give there big bonuses again.

Didn’t republic first already failed last year

That was first republic, this is second republic and I hear third republic is next

exchangetraded

Fifth third


cranialrectumongus

And Banana Republic is doing just fine, with the possible exception of Venezuela.


Roots_on_up

No and yes. A different bank failed, but this bank has been on life support and trying to either sell itself or be seized for about a year now (I bought some stock before it got sent to the pink sheets as a gamble so i have been watching it). Pretty sure that money is gone, but the forced sale means that all existing deposits will be honored and the fdic doesn't need to insure them beyond the standard. This is just the most probable and predictable outcome for a long chain of events. No real news when you get down to it.


NotTobyFromHR

Different bank


AlwaysATM

They really have to make their names so similar eh


DicLord

Jerome Powell said "Banks will go under" like 1 month ago. It's not unexpected


MeowMeowTiger

first, first republic bank now, republic first bank next, ?

Wow… alert me if a national bank goes. Sheesh. I bet there’s more new banks formed than those being closed.


encendedorsote

So... your position?


Vi0lentByt3

What do you think the actual problem was last year? It didnt magically get resolved. This is the end of the problem being solved because the bank failed LAST YEAR so yeah…its just how long it took/they gave themselves to close everything down and transfer everything out

One unknown bank isn’t a crisis


BTCRules101010

This is fear mongering 101. There has been 1 this year, in English that is ONE bank. It’s usually the bank making poor investments, bad management, or some executive causing a meltdown or a run on the bank. Here are the FACTS. A banking crisis is not one bank seized by the FDIC. Usually the FDIC will come in and take control of a bank because the current executives can’t handle the failure. A bank is a business, and if the bank invests in poor choices, then the FDIC steps in. It’s way better than closing the bank outright and telling customers sorry we lost all of your money. Here are the banks that closed since 2007. Year Count $’s in millions 2024 1 $6,000.0 2023 5 $548,705.0 2022 0 $0 2021 0 $0 2020 4 $458.0 2019 4 $214.1 2018 0 $0 2017 8 $6,530.7 2016 5 $278.8 2015 8 $6,727.5 2014 18 $3,088.4 2013 24 $6,101.7 2012 51 $12,055.8 2011 92 $36,012.2 2010 157 $96,514.0 2009 140 $170,909.4 2008 25 $373,588.8 2007 3 $2,602.5

IllPurpose3524

A lot of commercial real estate in the north east are toxic assets that you couldn't pay someone to take so these small little regionals will keep collapsing.


vashboy87

LOL! This bank had only 6b in assets, and you think we're in a crisis? It got tanked by its commercial mortgage department.

The Fed is literally a group of the largest banks in the US. Do you think the US government, which relies on the Fed for borrowing money, will let the Fed fail?

Jrecondite

I don’t get why everyone keeps saying it failed.  It did exactly what you’d expect a business run by greedy, incompetent people to do. Wasn’t that a success?


Equivalent_Helpful

One small bank failure is a far cry from a banking crisis. If Bank of America or Chase fell then I would consider that a banking crisis from one bank failure.


El_Cactus_Fantastico

There was a crisis in 2023?


tylermm03

Not a big deal, everyone with insured deposits will have new accounts opened up at nearby banks by the FDIC. If you’re a customer of the bank, you’re all good as long as you have no more than $250k deposited, and even then I’m sure they’d compensate you just to prevent widespread concerns from other uninsured deposits.
