How does CDARS work?
We are members of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we place your
funds into certificates of deposit issued by other banks in the network – in increments
of less than $100,000 – so that both your principal and interest are eligible for
complete FDIC protection.
What else should I know?
Now, you no longer have to spend time managing multiple bank relationships, administering various
interest rates, organizing interest disbursements from various sources, or manually consolidating
monthly statements. This reduces your administrative burden, especially during tax and financial
reporting seasons.
And with CDARS, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values – another
time saving convenience.
Of course, your confidential account information remains protected.
