ICS, the IntraFi Cash Service

ICS is offered through IntraFi®, allowing clients to access millions of dollars in aggregate FDIC insurance coverage across network banks, for funds placed into demand deposit accounts at Destination Institutions that participate in the IntraFi network. Upon enrolling into ICS, business clients continue to retain their Bank relationship with their Private Client Group (“PCG”) as a single point of contact to meet their financial needs.1

Transparency

Check your ICS account balances, upcoming allocations and track other important information through a specifically designed Depositor Control Panel.

How it works

We, like other institutions that offer ICS, are members of the IntraFi network. When we place your deposit through ICS, that deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000. The amounts are then placed into deposit accounts at multiple FDIC-insured banks. As a result, you can access FDIC coverage from many institutions while working directly just with us.

  • ICS offers access to FDIC insurance coverage by automatically breaking up balances into insurable amounts and allocating each increment across participating IntraFi member banks.
  • Your funds may be swept each business day based on an established target balance amount in your linked account.

CDARS, the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service

CDARS is brought to you by IntraFi, the largest provider of deposit placement serves providing access to FDIC insurance, combining the institutional strength of Wall Street with the community presence of Main Street. With IntraFi's services, you can access millions of dollars in aggregate FDIC insurance coverage across network banks.1

1A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. Certain conditions must be satisfied for “pass-through” FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply.

Deposit placement through an IntraFi service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Deposits that are placed through an IntraFi service at FDIC-insured banks in IntraFi’s network are eligible for FDIC deposit insurance coverage at the network banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. To meet conditions for pass-through FDIC deposit insurance, deposit accounts at FDIC-insured banks in IntraFi’s network that hold deposits placed using an IntraFi service are titled, and deposit account records are maintained, in accordance with FDIC regulations for pass-through coverage. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals. The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through an IntraFi service satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. IntraFi, ICS, IntraFi Cash Service, CDARS, and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service are registered trademarks of IntraFi LLC.
