Explanation:
Intraday liquidity is critical for a bank's operations. When a clearing bank cuts off a bank's ability to process daylight overdrafts, the bank immediately loses its ability to execute trades and send cash to meet its obligations. This represents a fatal and unrecoverable liquidity crisis (a halt in the payment and settlement systems), which typically forces the bank directly into bankruptcy.
