What Happens If a Bank Lends Out Too Much Money and Then Goes Bankrupt?
A bank is in a healthy financial position if its assets are greater than its liabilities. It also has a large buffer of shareholder equity to protect its depositors. This cushion provides additional protection to depositors, who can lose money if a bank goes bankrupt.
Depositors suffer losses
Banks have a vested interest in not going bankrupt, and if they do, depositors are at risk of losing money. However, there are ways that they can protect their depositors. Deposit insurance is one way of ensuring that a bank doesn’t go bankrupt. Banks have a responsibility to repay depositors.
Bank failure occurs when a bank cannot meet its obligations, either because the bank has become insolvent or doesn’t have sufficient liquid assets to support its operations. In these cases, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) takes over the bank and insures all deposits. Customers of the failed bank will probably continue to use their accounts, debit cards, and online banking tools. However, it can take months or years before customers can recover uninsured deposits.
Regulations can protect depositors
Several governments have adopted regulations to protect depositors from bank failures. Some countries use an explicit insurance system, while others rely on implicit insurance. Regardless of the approach, all depositors deserve some protection against losses if a bank lends out too much money and then goes bankrupt.
A cap on the amount of money a bank may lend out can protect depositors by preventing large depositors from being complacent about the soundness of the bank. However, large depositors need a cap to avoid relying on insurance. The cap should also have conditions limiting the amount of money a bank can be insured for.
Effects of a bank run
A bank run is an uncontrollable event in which a bank gives out too much money and then goes bankrupt. The consequences of such a situation are severe. Banks can no longer afford to continue making loans and can lose all of their deposits. In addition to a loss of deposits, the bank may also experience losses in its equity.
A bank run is caused when customers panic and start withdrawing their money from their accounts. This can force a bank to go bankrupt or limit the number of withdrawals per customer. It may also suspend all withdrawals until it can find alternative funds or borrow money from other banks or the central bank.
