Control agreements to support loan-level or financing arrangements

A control agreement typically includes three parties: a lender and/or secured party, a borrower (or otherwise specified), and Flagstar Bank. This establishes a security interest on behalf of the secured party and written guidelines to protect the party’s interest in perpetuity unless a termination notice is provided pursuant to the agreement.

SMBS offers a variety of deposit account control agreements and cash management agreements.

Deposit Account Control Agreements

  • Soft DACA—This account will collect deposits from the property and sweep the funds into a bank account determined by the borrower at a frequency indicated in the agreement.
  • Hard DACA—This account will collect deposits from the property and sweep the funds into a bank account determined by the secured party at a frequency indicated in the agreement.
  • Springing DACA—This agreement is executed by all parties. An account will be opened when notice is received from the lender/secured party. 
  • Access Restricted After Notice (ARAN) DACA—This account functions as the borrower’s operating account. Once a notice is received, access is restricted and funds will sweep to a designated account.
  • Deposit Account Instruction and Service Agreement (DAISA)—A special-purpose account funded by government receivables. Funds are transferred from this account to a destination account. Depending on the arrangement, the destination account may also be subject to a control agreement. 

Cash Management Agreements

  • Hard CMA—Deposits flow from the clearing bank into the cash management account, and funds are disbursed as indicated by the lender/secured party or assigned loan servicer.
  • Springing CMA—This agreement is executed by all parties. An account will be opened when notice is received from the lender/secured party or assigned loan servicer. 
  • Hard-Repurchase Agreement (REPO)—This agreement supports warehouse facilities with an assigned seller/buyer (or purchaser vs. buyer).
