First Republic was one of the major casualties of the banking crisis triggered in March, when depositors fled en masse from some U.S. lenders to institutions such as JPMorgan that they thought were safer.

JPMorgan has assumed all of the bank's deposits, it said, and will repay $25 billion of the $30 billion big banks deposited with First Republic in March.
JPMorgan said it expected to achieve a one-time, post-tax gain of about $2.6 billion after the deal.
The failed bank's 84 offices in eight states will reopen as branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank from Monday, it added.
