All Sides with Ann Fisher - 5-9-2023 A - The history of small banks and their role in contemporary banking
 
Play
 
A third regional bank, First Republic Bank, collapsed last week, setting off renewed worries about the U.S. financial systems. The failure also shined a light on the health of small and specialty banks that many communities depend on for geographical and sometimes boutique-style convenience.

We look at the history of small banks and the role they play in contemporary banking.

Guests:

Greg Ip, chief economics commentator at The Wall Street Journal
Rob Gray, vice president and commercial relationship officer at Union Bank Co.
Rebeca Romero Rainey, president and CEO of Independent Community Bankers of America
