A major bank collapse isn't just a story about one bank — it tests how interconnected the entire financial system really is.
Banks are interconnected through the interbank market, derivatives, and mutual deposits — the failure of one bank can create a 'domino effect' that calls into question the stability of other banks, even ones not directly tied to the original problem.
Other banks with direct exposure to the failed bank (interbank loans, shared derivatives), and business customers whose deposits exceed government insurance limits, are exposed directly and immediately.
Regulators usually intervene quickly to prevent broad 'contagion' — emergency liquidity injections, deposit guarantees beyond the usual limit, or an orderly sale of the failed bank to a stable institution. That speed of response significantly shapes the actual scale of damage.
