Western Alliance Bancorp denied on Thursday reports claiming that it was looking for a potential buyer that pushed the bank's shares down by over 60 percent.

Trading in the Arizona bank's stock was halted several times on Thursday over intense volatility, only recovering to a 29 percent share-value loss after releasing a denial of the “categorically false in all respects” report.

"Western Alliance is not exploring a sale, nor has it hired an advisor to explore strategic options," the lender said.

Before the report, the bank which holds $65bn worth of assets was trading down 26 percent.

JPMorgan's takeover of failed First National Bank that was brokered by regulators has failed to restore client confidence.

Western Alliance was only the latest of a series of falling US banks.

Shares of PacWest Bancorp recorded an all-time low after a nearly 50 percent dive on Thursday after the bank announced a day earlier that it will be exploring strategic options. PacWest was attempting to avoid walking into the same fate as the other banks by preemptively looking for financial solutions, Reuters reported.
