What would you do if you feared your bank was about to fail?

Answer:

If I feared my bank was about to fail, I would likely try to withdraw my funds as quickly as possible to protect my savings. This reaction is what typically causes a bank run. However, in modern times, I would also check if my deposits were protected by the FDIC, which insures deposits up to a certain amount, providing a safety net that prevents the need for a panic-driven withdrawal.
