While the last few days have seen turmoil for the tech and life sciences sectors as a result of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), customers can take some comfort from the measures put in place by the US authorities and the purchase of SVB in the UK by HSBC. The situation is fast moving and continuing to evolve, so for those seeking up to date information we advise them to visit both the UK government and US treasury pages here:
