Silicon Valley Bank: 500 jobs cut by new owner First Citizens
By Mariko OiBusiness reporter
The new owner of Silicon Valley Bank's (SVB) US operations, First Citizens, is cutting around 500 roles held by former SVB workers, The Bbc understands.
Two months ago, First Citizens bought The Business after SVB's collapse.
The failure of SVB, along with two other US banks, triggered, which forced authorities to step in.
SVB's business in the UK was bought in March by London-headquartered banking giant HSBC for a nominal £1 ($1. 25).

Interest rates were cut sharply during the 2008 global financial crisis and again during the Covid pandemic as central banks around The World sought to encourage Economic Growth .

These rate rises have hit the value of investments in which most banks keep some of their customers' money, and contributed to The Bank failures in the US.
His account contrasts with those of regulators who blamed SVB's leadership for its failure to manage interest rate risks or diversify its business.
The collapse of SVB was followed by the failure of another US lender, Signature Bank and early May, which had also been Under Pressure .
Meanwhile in Europe, Swiss officials brokered a rescue deal for troubled banking giant Credit Suisse by its rival UBS, which.
