Bank stocks aren’t doing well on Wednesday as the continued fallout of the SVB Financial (NASDAQ:SIVB) collapse weighs on the sector.

The big news keeping bank stocks down comes from Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS). The Swiss bank is no longer able to receive financial support from the Saudi National Bank, which is one of its top investors.

According to Saudi National Bank, it can’t provide any additional funding to Credit Suisse due to regulatory issues. The bank notes that it already holds a 9.9% stake in CS stock. Anymore would take it above 10%, and that’s not allowed under current regulations.

That news sent shares of CS stock falling on Wednesday as fear spread across the banking sector. This resulted in in a few other bank stocks also dropping alongside CS shares today. Let’s get into that below!
