- rekttrader 4y agoFor now yes, you get a note on what’s owed that remains and in time you get some of your money back post bankruptcy. Keep your accounts lower than 250k
- johnbellone 4y agoOr better yet, don't listen to your VC's relationship people and put all of your money in one bank.
- roflyear 4y agoMany bank's terms are if you get a loan from them, you need to use them as your only bank (or only accounts receiving deposits, or something). It is negotiable but it is the norm.
- alwaysbeconsing 4y ago> Keep your accounts lower than 250k For full precision, if you're concerned about this, be aware that it's 250K per depositor at a given bank, rather than per account. That is, all your qualifying accounts at the bank are considered as one pool and 250K of that is insured.

- trimbo 4y agoNo because SVB has assets with value to sell. That's the "dividend" the FDIC refers to in the press release.
- ncallaway 4y agoSVB's assets will be divided up and given back to creditors (including depositors). So remaining depositors likely will get something back eventually, but we don't know how much yet (10%? 50%? 85%). There will also likely be a delay in getting those funds back as the process plays out, which is probably more dangerous to many companies than the haircut (assuming the hair-cut isn't too severe).
