Abstract

Given the importance of banks in countries’ economy, some countries have separated insolvency of banks from bankruptcy of companies. The United States is one of the countries that has completely separated the banks insolvency from companies’ bankruptcy and while the court plays the key role in the bankruptcy of companies, bank regulators decide on insolvency of banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company manage the insolvency bank according to the resolution regime that govern on the insolvency of banks. In contrast, in some countries, including Iran, when a bank goes insolvent, it basically applies the general rules of bankruptcy of companies. One of the important differences between these two methods is when they begin the process of resolution and bankruptcy and who beginning these processes. To begin the resolution process, there is no need to issue a court order and the start of this process is only carried out by the views of the bank regulators or the other authorities established by the law, while in the ordinarily bankruptcy regime, the bankruptcy process begins by the bank itself, the bank's creditors, or the judicial authority and the court decides on bankruptcy.
