By closing all the banks, FDR stopped the run on those financial institutions and also gave some comfort to the people who were worried about their bank accounts. After announcing he would close the banks, he told the public that federal examiners would check each and every bank closed. Those that were financially strong would be allowed to reopen. Those that were in bad shape would be closed, and those that needed help would be provided aid from the federal government. It boosted the confidence of the public that the government was doing something to protect their money.
