During the weekend of March 10, 2023, news spread of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Signature Bank, and potentially other financial institutions. This has likely affected some ticketing providers. However, it’s important to note that Patron Technology does not have any direct involvement with, or exposure to, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) or other affected banks and therefore is not impacted. Our clients’ funds remain safe and accessible.
With the FDIC intervention of SVB, there are a lot of questions and concerns amongst others in our industry. Know that we’re here to help any clients who bank with any of the impacted banks or anyone whose ticketing provider has direct exposure to them.
