HSBC swoops in to rescue UK arm of Silicon Valley Bank (BBC News)

The Bank of England and government worked all night to secure a deal involving no taxpayer money.

It seems the only thing wrong with SVB UK was its name. While the deal with HSBC was broadly welcomed, the Bank of London - a UK clearing bank - said it was a "missed opportunity". It had adequate capital and was making reasonable profits. Former investment banker Sir Philip Augar said the UK government and regulators had a "good weekend in actually avoiding a crisis", but warned there was an irony in the collapse of SVB just as the government was considering "slackening" regulations in the financial services industry. The rescue deal for the UK arm comes after the US agreed a rescue deal for customers in the US bank, Silicon Valley Bank - which specialised in lending to technology companies - was shut down by US regulators on Friday in what was the largest failure of a US bank since 2008.
