The United States Senate Banking Committee on Thursday invited former chief executive officers of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank to testify at the banks' collapse hearing scheduled for March 28.

The senator told Becker and the former CEO of the New York-based bank, Joseph DePaolo, that as former leaders of the banks, they must "answer for the banks' downfall."
