For one, help from the FDIC, which will absorb up to 80% of the losses coming from First Republic's residential and commercial loans.
The FDIC seized control of First Republic Bank over the weekend and auctioned it off.  JPMorgan won that auction, and it’s paying a cool $10.6 billion for it.

Main Street banks, often more diversified and risk-averse than Wall Street banks, are largely shrugging off First Republic’s meltdown.
Although depositors pulled $100 billion out of smaller banks in the aftermath of Silicon Valley Bank's failure, the collapse of First Republic has so far been met with a more muted response.

by Justin Ho
Apr 21, 2023
The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank had a lot of depositors worried about their own banks. While many moved their depositors to bigger institutions, bank deposits have been trending downward overall.
Up until the SVB and Signature Bank failures last month, banks had been losing deposits for about a year. Itamar Dreschler of the Wharton School said as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, banks hadn’t really been doing the same for depositors.
