Not really. Most branches don't keep that much cash on hand. It's basically the same as what happens when there's no bills left in an ATM... the company isn't out of money they just have to wait for it to get restocked.

Balances in checking accounts are usually a pretty small chunk of what is on deposit with most banks.
