How can deposits greater than the standard FDIC insurance maximum be eligible for insurance by the FDIC?
The FDIC insures up to $250,000 of a customer’s deposit accounts in a given insurable capacity at an FDIC-insured depository institution. Institutions, like ours, that offer IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ are members of a special Network. When we place your deposit through the IntraFi® Network℠ service, that deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000 and is placed in demand deposit accounts (using the IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ demand option), money market deposit accounts (using the IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ savings option), at multiple banks. As a result, you can access coverage from many institutions while working directly with just one.
How often can I access my funds?
You can make unlimited program withdrawals using the IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ demand option and up to six program withdrawals per month using the IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ savings option. With IntraFi® Network Deposits℠, select from a range of maturities (4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years).
Who has custody of my funds?
Funds placed through IntraFi® Network℠ are deposited only in FDIC-insured banks. We act as custodian for your IntraFi® Network Deposits℠, and the sub-custodian for IntraFi® Network Deposits℠ is the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the largest custodian in the world.
Who provides the additional FDIC insurance when my funds are placed using IntraFi® Network℠?
Through IntraFi® Network℠, funds are placed with other Network members, and those Network members provide you with access to the additional FDIC insurance coverage. Working directly with just our bank, you can access coverage through many.
Is my account information safe?
