The former chief executive of Silicon Valley Bank plans to tell lawmakers Tuesday he did the best he could under the circumstances, and will apologize for the bank’s collapse.

Becker is scheduled to testify before the committee Tuesday at 10 a.m. Eastern, along with two former executives from similarly failed Signature Bank.
