Canada’s banking regulator says the Canadian branch of Silicon Valley Bank is being restructured in a way that will allow it to continue operations in the country.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions says it has taken permanent control of the failed bank’s Canadian assets and they will be transitioned to a new “bridge bank” created by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Superintendent of Financial Institutions Peter Routledge says he took the actions in coordination with U.S. officials in the best interest of the branch’s creditors.
