By working directly with just us—a bank you already know and trust—you can receive coverage through many.
Financial institutions that offer Insured Cash Sweep® and/or CDARS® are members
of the ICS® Network and/or the CDARS Network. When you place a large deposit with
us using the ICS or CDARS service, that deposit is divided into amounts under the
standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000 and is placed in deposit accounts at
other Network banks. Funds are placed into demand deposit accounts (using the ICS
demand option), money market deposit accounts (using the ICS savings option), or
into CDs using CDARS. By placing your funds in increments below the standard FDIC
insurance maximum of $250,000, both principal and interest are eligible for FDIC
insurance.
Although funds are placed with multiple banks, you work directly with just us
and receive just one regular statement per service utilized.
