"The actions of America’s largest banks reflect their confidence in the country’s banking system. Together, we are deploying our financial strength and liquidity into the larger system, where it is needed the most. Smaller- and medium-sized banks support their local customers and businesses, create millions of jobs and help uplift communities. America’s larger banks stand united with all banks to support our economy and all of those around us," the joint statement continued.

The news follows concerns after Silicon Valley Bank collapsed last week in a move that sent panic to regional banks.

Swiss bank Credit Suisse also saw its shares collapse after concerns over its largest lender the Saudi National Bank saying it would not give the institution any more assistance.

The Swiss National Bank announced more than $50 million in financial assistance on Thursday to intervene in the concerning international banking issue.

The banking collapse concerns are among the worst since 2008 under the Obama administration when multiple bank failures led to new big government policies intended to stop future collapses.

The Biden administration has sought to assure Americans that its banks are safe but recent actions indicate the promises may not be as solid as suggested.
