Biden: Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe

Biden said: Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe. Your deposits are safe.

Over the weekend, he said: I am committed to "holding those responsible for this mess fully accountable."

He fully said:

At my direction, @SecYellen and my National Economic Council Director worked with banking regulators to address problems at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. I’m pleased they reached a solution that protects workers, small businesses, taxpayers, and our financial system.

The American people and American businesses can have confidence that their bank deposits will be there when they need them.

I’m firmly committed to holding those responsible for this mess fully accountable and to continuing our efforts to strengthen oversight and regulation of larger banks so that we are not in this position again. I’ll have more to say on this tomorrow morning.

Over the weekend, the Treasury says said it sees some institutions with issues similar to Silicon Valley Bank, per Bloomberg.
