First Republic secures new facility from JPMorgan

First Republic’s announcement came after its share price was hit last week in the aftermath of a run on SVB Financial Group.

Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse on Friday prompted U.S. Federal Reserve and other regulators to announce a series of emergency measures to shore up confidence in the banking system.

In a statement, First Republic said additional borrowing capacity from the U.S. Federal Reserve as well as that from JPMorgan had boosted the amount of liquidity it had available.
