Silicon Valley Bank (UK) Ltd has today been sold to HSBC. HSBC is headquartered
in London, is the largest bank in Europe and is one of the world’s largest ban
king and financial services institutions, serving 39 million customers globally.
Customers of SVB UK will be able to access their deposits and banking services
as normal from today.
This transaction has been facilitated by the Bank of England, in consultation wi
th the Treasury, using powers granted by the Banking Act 2009. No taxpayer mone
y is involved, and customer deposits have been protected.
Making use of post-crisis banking reforms, which introduced powers to safely man
age the failure of banks, this sale has protected both the customers of SVB UK a
nd taxpayers.
The UK has a world leading tech sector, with a dynamic start-up and scale-up eco
system and the government is pleased that a private sector purchaser has been fo
und.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said:
“The UK’s tech sector is genuinely world-leading and of huge importance to the
British economy, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs. I said yesterday tha
t we would look after our tech sector, and we have worked urgently to deliver on
that promise and find a solution that will provide SVB UK’s customers with con
fidence.
“Today the government and the Bank of England have facilitated a private sale o
f Silicon Valley Bank UK; this ensures customer deposits are protected and can b
ank as normal, with no taxpayer support. I am pleased we have reached a resoluti
on in such short order.
“HSBC is Europe’s largest bank, and SVB UK customers should feel reassured by
the strength, safety and security that brings them.”
