The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may occur when, in a fractional-reserve banking system, a large volume of customers seek to withdraw a greater amount of cash from deposit accounts with a financial institution in a short space of time than the institution has cash on-hand, because the customers believe that the institution is, or might become, insolvent.
- When they transfer funds to another institution, it may be characterized as a capital flight.
- As a bank run progresses, it may become a self-fulfilling prophecy: as more people withdraw cash, the likelihood of default increases, triggering further withdrawals.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bank run article was read about 97,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
