dorsey, abc 7 news. karina: we are going to dive a little deeper into this issue. abc 7 news anchor liz kreutz learned all banks will have to pay for svb's failure. liz: president biden insisted today that taxpayers will not be the one bailing out these banks. he laid out his plan while also assuring americans that the financial system is stable and that people should not be worried about their own deposits. but of course, the sudden collapse of these banks has raised a lot of questions and concerns. pres. biden: americans can have confidence the banking system is safe. liz: it is an extraordinary step by the federal government, president biden announced his administration is stepping in. to save customers of silicon valley bank. pres. biden: this is important. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. liz: how exactly will that work? we asked san jose state finance professor matthew faulkner to break it down.

different in this program is this is not a bailout. liz: what the biden administration is doing instead is imposing an assessment fee that will require every bank to pay a fee. those fees will cover the losses. pres. biden: instead, the money will come from fees the banks pay into the deposit insurance fund. prof. faulkner: the u.s. banking system working together to cover some. liz: the money generated from the assessment fees will go toward paying back silicon valley bank customers who had more than $250,000 in their account. those with $250,000 or less are already insured by the federal deposit insurance corporation, or fdic. faulkner says while are some questions of silicon valley bank, he is hopeful it is an isolated incident. prof. faulkner: it looks like it is a combination of a starting economy within our general macroeconomic economy. money was not flowing the way it was 10 years ago. liz: after the bank asked the public for money last week,

customers got spooked and made a run to get their money back, causing the bank to shut down. prof. faulkner: if every annual pass holder at disneyland showed up to disneyland on the same day, disneyland would shut down. it would not be able to operate. liz: faulkner's question now is about what precedents the biden administration is setting for banks and future failures. prof. faulkner: if they know the government is going to come help out the depositors, do they take on riskier investments? you have these things to think about going forward. liz: another question i'm sure a lot of people have at home right now, is there anything i can do to protect my own deposits? faulkner says if you want to be the most careful, you can disperse your money into multiple accounts at different banks, and only keep $250,000 or in each of those account. that is the amount insured by the fdic. live in the newsroom, liz kreutz, abc 7 news. ama: good advice. thank you, liz. we are following

who? from survivors. dan: there's a real feeling that this is about protecting the church's assets and not doing the right thing. how do you respond to that? bishop vasa: that is the reason why the bankruptcy offers an objective look, because basically the diocese and any entity in bankruptcy turns over the books and says, here is everything that we have attachments to. >> i just think it is a tragedy. dan: this person from the survivors network of abuse -- >> if basis lead, they will -- if they succeed, they will limit what survivors can receive in opposition, and they will freeze the files that are so important to understand what went on and what still make be going on. dan: that is going to be a crucial part of the bankruptcy case, can the diocese shield the
