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.
