Usually on a Friday night. If you see a bunch of rental cars hanging out near a bank HQ on a Friday afternoon, get all your money out before the doors close. FDIC is about to wreck shop.


They do it on a Friday so they can work through the weekend and reopen the bank on Monday as a branch of a different bank which is solvent, so I wouldn't worry too much. I'd be more worried about putting my money in a fintech not regulated by FDIC or NCUA (though many contract with a "real" bank so that your money is still protected).


That’s fine for your checking account which FDIC likely covers. But if they merge it into another bank and you have a payroll account there with 2MM sitting in it, you can have a real problem. People use JPMC, with all its fees, for a reason.
