86-453: The Financial Services Compensation Scheme ( FSCS ) is the UK's statutory compensation scheme for customers of UK authorised financial services firms. This means it can step in to pay compensation if a firm is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against it. Compensation can be in any form and by any method it determines is appropriate. It is an operationally independent body, set up under

172-451: A self-fulfilling prophecy . Indeed, Robert K. Merton , who coined the term self-fulfilling prophecy , mentioned bank runs as a prime example of the concept in his book Social Theory and Social Structure . Mervyn King , governor of the Bank of England, once noted that it may not be rational to start a bank run, but it is rational to participate in one once it had started. A bank run is

258-531: A bank reorganization. Bank runs first appeared as a part of cycles of credit expansion and its subsequent contraction. From the 16th century onwards, English goldsmiths issuing promissory notes suffered severe failures due to bad harvests, plummeting parts of the country into famine and unrest. Other examples are the Dutch tulip manias (1634–37), the British South Sea Bubble (1717–19),

344-431: A crisis is triggered by unsustainable fiscal policies, expansionary fiscal policies are typically used. In crises of liquidity and solvency, central banks can provide liquidity to support illiquid banks. Depositor protection can help restore confidence, although it tends to be costly and does not necessarily speed up economic recovery. Intervention is often delayed in the hope that recovery will occur, and this delay increases

430-657: A deposit guarantee scheme for at least 90% of the deposited amount, up to at least 20,000 euros per person. On 7 October 2008, the Ecofin meeting of EU's ministers of finance agreed to increase the minimum amount to 50,000. Timelines and details on procedures for the implementation, which is likely to be a national matter for the member states, was not immediately available. The increased amount followed on Ireland's move, in September 2008, to increase its deposit insurance to an unlimited amount. Many other EU countries, starting with

516-412: A financial institution at the same time because they believe that the financial institution is, or might become, insolvent . When they transfer funds to another institution, it may be characterized as a capital flight . As a bank run progresses, it may become a self-fulfilling prophecy : as more people withdraw cash, the likelihood of default increases, triggering further withdrawals. This can destabilize

602-593: A higher reserve requirement (requiring banks to keep more of their reserves as cash), government bailouts of banks, supervision and regulation of commercial banks, the organization of central banks that act as a lender of last resort , the protection of deposit insurance systems such as the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , and after a run has started, a temporary suspension of withdrawals. These techniques do not always work: for example, even with deposit insurance, depositors may still be motivated by beliefs they may lack immediate access to deposits during

688-406: A larger fraction of unbooked losses; if it rolls over its liabilities at increased interest rates, it squeezes its profits along with the profits of healthier competitors. The longer the silent run goes on, the more benefits are transferred from healthy banks and taxpayers to the zombie banks. The term is also used when many depositors in countries with deposit insurance draw down their balances below

774-461: A mandatory insurance scheme for the protection of bank monetary deposits. Bank run A bank run or run on the bank occurs when many clients withdraw their money from a bank , because they believe the bank may fail in the near future .

Since the early 1930s, banking sector problems have been resolved without losses to depositors. On 12 October 2008, as part of the response to the 2007–2008 financial crisis , Australia set up the Financial Claims Scheme (FCS) to provide a government guarantee of 100% of all deposits with ADIs for three years in

946-674: A part of a country's central bank , while some are private entities with government backing or completely private entities. There are a number of countries with more than one deposit insurance system in operation, including Austria, Canada ( Ontario and Quebec ), Germany, Italy, and the United States. According to the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI), as of 31 January 2014, 113 countries have instituted some form of explicit deposit insurance, up from 12 in 1974. Another 41 countries are considering

1032-405: A possible bank insolvency. Because banking institution failures have the potential to trigger a broad spectrum of harmful events, including economic recessions, policy makers maintain deposit insurance schemes to protect depositors and to give them comfort that their funds are not at risk. Deposit insurance institutions are for the most part government run or established, and may or may not be

The bank run is not shown, instead the bank manager, who bears resemblance to Jimmy Stewart, says

1204-616: A run on the banks under the rallying cry "Stop the Duke, go for gold!". Many of the recessions in the United States were caused by banking panics. The Great Depression contained several banking crises consisting of runs on multiple banks from 1929 to 1933; some of these were specific to regions of the U.S. Bank runs were most common in states whose laws allowed banks to operate only a single branch, dramatically increasing risk compared to banks with multiple branches particularly when single-branch banks were located in areas economically dependent on

1290-542: A scale matching or exceeding the bank's geographical area of operation, depositors' unpredictable needs for cash are unlikely to occur at the same time; that is, by the law of large numbers , banks can expect only a small percentage of accounts withdrawn on any one day because individual expenditure needs are largely uncorrelated . A bank can make loans over a long horizon, while keeping only relatively small amounts of cash on hand to pay any depositors who may demand withdrawals. However, if many depositors withdraw all at once,

1376-600: A similar level of protection. The Isle of Man bank depositors' insurance scheme was introduced in 1991, to cover 75 percent of the first £15,000 per depositor per bank, but it was the October 2008 crisis-stricken Icelandic government's seizure of Kaupthing Bank in Iceland after the United Kingdom suspended the trading licence of Kaupthing's British subsidiary that compelled a radical revision of deposit insurance in

1462-687: A single industry. Banking panics began in the Southern United States in November 1930, one year after the stock market crash, triggered by the collapse of a string of banks in Tennessee and Kentucky , which brought down their correspondent networks. In December, New York City experienced massive bank runs that were contained to the many branches of a single bank. Philadelphia was hit a week later by bank runs that affected several banks, but were successfully contained by quick action by

1548-431: A valuable service by aggregating funds from many individual deposits, portioning them into loans for borrowers, and spreading the risks both of default and sudden demands for cash. Banks can charge much higher interest on their long-term loans than they pay out on demand deposits, allowing them to earn a profit. If only a few depositors withdraw at any given time, this arrangement works well. Barring some major emergency on

1720-461: Is a financial crisis that occurs when many banks suffer runs at the same time, as people suddenly try to convert their threatened deposits into cash or try to get out of their domestic banking system altogether.

Programs that are targeted, that specify clear quantifiable rules that limit access to preferred assistance, and that contain meaningful standards for capital regulation, appear to be more successful.

The 2007–2008 financial crisis was centered around market-liquidity failures that were comparable to a bank run. The crisis contained a wave of bank nationalizations, including those associated with Northern Rock of the UK and IndyMac of the U.S. This crisis was caused by low real interest rates stimulating an asset price bubble fuelled by new financial products that were not stress tested and that failed in

3268-523: The 19th century, such as Upper Canada's financial problems of 1866, the North American panic of 1872, and the 1923 failure of Toronto's Home Bank, symbolized today by Casa Loma. Historically, in Canada, regional risk has always been spread nationally within each large bank, unlike the uneven geography of US unit banking, layered with savings & loans of regional or national size, which in turn disperse their risk through investors. Generally speaking,

3354-765: The Canadian banking system is well regulated, in part by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) , which can in an extreme case close a financial institution.

Bank runs have also been used to blackmail individuals and governments. In 1832, for example, the British government under the Duke of Wellington overturned a majority government on the orders of the king, William IV , to prevent reform (the later Reform Act 1832 ( 2 & 3 Will. 4 . c. 45)). Wellington's actions angered reformers, and they threatened

4300-420: The bank itself (as opposed to individual investors) may run short of liquidity, and depositors will rush to withdraw their money, forcing the bank to liquidate many of its assets at a loss, and eventually to fail. If such a bank were to attempt to call in its loans early, businesses might be forced to disrupt their production while individuals might need to sell their homes and/or vehicles, causing further losses to

With the vast majority of Chinese savers holding far less than the maximum, and the central bank has calculated that 99.6% of depositors will be protected in full. The plan

4558-675: The benefits of collective prevention are commonly believed to outweigh the costs of excessive risk-taking. Techniques to deal with a banking panic when prevention have failed: The bank panic of 1933 is the setting of Archibald MacLeish 's 1935 play, Panic . Other fictional depictions of bank runs include those in American Madness (1932), It's a Wonderful Life (1946, set in 1932 U.S.), Silver River (1948), Mary Poppins (1964, set in 1910 London), Rollover (1981), Noble House (1988) and The Pope Must Die (1991). Arthur Hailey 's novel The Moneychangers includes

In October 2008, many countries in the EU increased the amount covered by their deposit insurance schemes. Since these amounts are typically encoded in legislation, there was a certain delay before the new amounts were formally valid. [2] Deposit insurance in Albania

4902-655: The domestic banking system shuts down. According to former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke , the Great Depression was caused by the failure of the Federal Reserve System to prevent deflation, and much of the economic damage was caused directly by bank runs. The cost of cleaning up a systemic banking crisis can be huge, with fiscal costs averaging 13% of GDP and economic output losses averaging 20% of GDP for important crises from 1970 to 2007. Several techniques have been used to try to prevent bank runs or mitigate their effects. They have included

4988-598: The downturn. Under fractional-reserve banking , the type of banking currently used in most developed countries , banks retain only a fraction of their demand deposits as cash. The remainder is invested in securities and loans , whose terms are typically longer than the demand deposits, resulting in an asset–liability mismatch . No bank has enough reserves on hand to cope with all deposits being taken out at once. Diamond and Dybvig developed an influential model to explain why bank runs occur and why banks issue deposits that are more liquid than their assets. According to

This measure was in addition to the mandates of APRA and ASIC to monitor Australian authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs), including banks, to ensure that their risks do not compromise the safety of depositors' funds. As part of the scheme, Australia was registered as a private US corporation . From 1 February 2012,

5246-990: The event of their insolvency. If deposits or savings are in a joint account the total of FSCS protection doubles to £170,000. FSCS protection for deposits is free and automatic. If anything happens to your bank, building society or credit union, FSCS will automatically pay you compensation. In the vast majority of cases savings are refunded in less than 7 days. From 3 July 2015 some types of temporary high balances of up to £1,000,000 are protected for up to six months. (for claims against firms declared in default from 1 April 2019).

Some prevention techniques apply to individual banks, independently of the rest of the economy. Some prevention techniques apply across the whole economy, though they may still allow individual institutions to fail. The role of the lender of last resort, and the existence of deposit insurance, both create moral hazard , since they reduce banks' incentive to avoid making risky loans.

Since borrowers need money and depositors fear to make these loans individually, banks provide

6278-408: The limit for deposit insurance. The cost of cleaning up after a crisis can be huge. In systemically important banking crises in the world from 1970 to 2007, the average net recapitalization cost to the government was 6% of GDP , fiscal costs associated with crisis management averaged 13% of GDP (16% of GDP if expense recoveries are ignored), and economic output losses averaged about 20% of GDP during

6364-427: The model, business investment requires expenditures in the present to obtain returns that take time in coming, for example, spending on machines and buildings now for production in future years. A business or entrepreneur that needs to borrow to finance investment will want to give their investments a long time to generate returns before full repayment, and will prefer long maturity loans, which offer little liquidity to

6450-408: The model, the bank acts as an intermediary between borrowers who prefer long-maturity loans and depositors who prefer liquid accounts. The Diamond–Dybvig model provides an example of an economic game with more than one Nash equilibrium , where it is logical for individual depositors to engage in a bank run once they suspect one might start, even though that run will cause the bank to collapse. In

6536-426: The money deposited with them instead of safe-keeping the full amounts (see fractional-reserve banking ). If many of a bank's borrowers fail to repay their loans when due, the bank's creditors, including its depositors, risk loss. Because they rely on customer deposits that can be withdrawn on little or no notice, banks in financial trouble are prone to bank runs , where depositors seek to withdraw funds quickly ahead of

Between 2001 and 2006 the scheme paid out close to 1 billion pounds in compensation. In the period from 2006 to 2011 the financial crisis resulted in compensation of over 26 billion pounds being paid out by the FSCS. In 2008 the FSCS was given a loan by the Bank of England in order to be able to guarantee

6794-467: The retail category. All schemes are do not apply for big wholesale customers under the argument the latter are often in a better position than retail customers to assess the financial risks of particular firms with whom they engage or are able themselves to reduce their risk by using several financial banks/institutes. The report recommends this practice to continue, as limiting of the scheme's to "retail customers (excl./incl. SME businesses)" helps to reduce
