48 Hours of Confidence: Anatomy of a Deposit Run
Bank runs used to take weeks. Now a single thread posted before your markets open can move billions by lunchtime. In the modern deposit run, your balance sheet matters less than whether depositors believe in it for the next 48 hours — and every public statement either rebuilds that belief or burns it.
Drawn from the defining banking failure of the social-media era, this advanced scenario runs your executives, treasury, communications, and board through the full arc: outflow telemetry turning ugly, a regulator asking pointed questions, an anchor client demanding a reason to stay, and a morning-two wire queue that tells you whether yesterday's decisions worked.
It's a stress test of the one thing your contingency funding plan can't model: confidence.

What this scenario tests
- Whether your liquidity playbook holds up when outflows run at social-media speed
- How your leaders decide what to say publicly when any statement could accelerate the run
- Whether your board can engage fast enough to matter in a 48-hour crisis
- How treasury, communications, and the CEO stay on one message under fire
- What you offer your largest depositor — knowing everyone else will ask for it too
