How it Works
With both CDARS and ICS, we divide your money throughout different financial institutions also participating in the Network. Certificate of Deposit accounts are used for CDARS, while Money Market accounts are used for ICS. Dividing the total amount ensures the principle and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance, but you don't have to worry about dealing with multiple banks - we take care of that for you.
CDARS (Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®)
The CDARS service offers short and extended maturity terms, and allows you access to FDIC insurance for large deposits. We offer rates higher than industry standard and terms starting at 13 weeks up to 5 years, you'll find the perfect fit.
ICS (Insured Cash Sweep®)
The ICS service rewards high-balance Money Market Accounts with multi-million dollar FDIC insurance eligibility. Plus, you will have access to funds with 6 allowed withdrawals per month.

If a depositor is subject to restrictions with respect to the placement of funds in depository institutions, it is the responsibility of the depositor to determine whether the
placement of the depositor's funds through ICS or CDARS, or a particular ICS or CDARS transaction, satisfies those restrictions.
Placement of funds through the ICS or CDARS service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in the service agreements, including the Deposit Placement
Agreement ("DPA"). Limits apply and customer eligibility criteria may apply. In the ICS savings option, program withdrawals are limited to six per month. Although funds are
placed at destination banks in amounts that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount ("SMDIA"), a depositor's balances at the relationship
institution that places the funds may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before ICS or CDARS settlement for a deposit or after ICS or CDARS settlement for a withdrawal) or be
ineligible for FDIC insurance (if the relationship institution is not a bank). As stated in the DPA, the depositor is responsible for making any necessary arrangements to protect
such balances consistent with applicable law. If the depositor is subject to restrictions on placement of its funds, the depositor is responsible for determining whether its use
of ICS or CDARS satisfies those restrictions. ICS, CDARS, Insured Cash Sweep, and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service are registered service marks of
