Silicon Valley Bank's Chinese joint venture will become a wholly owned unit of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, following approval to change its name to Shanghai Innovation Bank, a Chinese financial regulator said, Joe Cash reported for Reuters.

Silicon Valley Bank's (SVB) collapse last year was one of the largest in U.S. banking history and left its joint venture with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPD)—SPD Silicon Valley—in the lurch after no buyers emerged to acquire SVB's stake.


In a statement on Friday, the National Financial Regulatory Administration's Shanghai branch said it had agreed the bank could adjust its shareholder ratios so that SPD holds 100% of the shares and adjust down the bank's registered capital to the equivalent of 1 billion yuan ($141 million) from 2 billion.
