The purpose was to save as many banks as possible and restore confidence in the banking system. Banks make money by lending out a part of the money that people deposit in them. If everybody with money in the bank tries to take their money out, the bank can not give it back at once and the bank fails. But, if people hear the bank is about to fail, they panic and try to get their money out, so the bank is sure to fail. This is what was happening and banks all over were failing.
Roosevelt closed all the banks for a short time to stop the panic. Those that were sound were re-opened and depositors had their deposits insured against loss by the government.
The Emergency Banking Relief Act, enacted in March 1933, temporarily closed all banks to stabilize the banking system and restore public confidence. Following this, the Banking Act of 1933 established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which provided insurance for bank deposits, protecting customers' savings and preventing bank runs. Together, these measures aimed to restore stability to the financial system during the Great Depression.

This aimed to restore public confidence in the banking system, reduce the risk of financial speculation, and protect depositors' funds. By prohibiting banks from engaging in both activities, the Act sought to prevent conflicts of interest and reduce the likelihood of future financial crises.
Banks reopened with government assurances that they were on sound financial footing.
