No systemic risk exception required; a competitive bid process minimized costs to the Deposit Insurance Fund
NEW YORK – (BUSINESS WIRE) -JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) today announced it has acquired the substantial majority of assets and assumed the deposits and certain other liabilities of First Republic Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
