Not sure about US, but in EU citizen accounts are insured up to EUR 100k. So it doesn't matter if banks fail.

- imtringued 7y agoI feel you don't understand the magnitude of the problem. Yes, your money will be fine but will your insurance claim be processed before you have to pay rent? A bank is like a multiplayer game company. Once the company shuts down, the servers are gone as well. If you can't access your bank account then you lost access to the money until it will be restored by the government. This is why we have bank runs at all. People cash out so they have a buffer until their claim is processed, not because they won't get their money bank.
