"Customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, should continue to use their current branch until they receive notice from First Citizens Bank & Trust Company that systems conversions have been completed to allow full service banking at all of its other branch locations," the statement continued.

Depositors of the Santa Clara, California-located bank will automatically become depositors of First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, according to the statement, and all deposits will be assumed and insured by First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, up to the insurance limit, Fox Business reported.
