The struggling US bank stated that between January and March 2023, US consumers withdrew more than $100 billion from their accounts. The withdrawal of capital had occurred as worries about the stability of the international banking system had grown.
Neal Holland, the bank's chief financial officer, claimed that the liquidation of many banks in March resulted in "unprecedented deposit outflows" from the First Republic. The executive stated that the bank is "working to fix its financial picture and reduce our expenditures and short-term borrowings."

First Republic Bank FRC +10.3% has substantial problems with funding sources, asset quality, and significant loan growth. The bank's first-quarter financial results in 2023 will highlight any current issues. Since 8 March, the share price of First Republic Bank has decreased by 87%.
Are customers taking money out of First Republic?

Will there be layoffs?
The First Republic anticipates layoffs that will result in a 20–25% reduction in the workforce in the upcoming months as a cost-cutting measure. A group of influential US institutions recently invested $30 billion in the bank, which was considered as being on the point of failure.
