Deposit Sweep Program

How It Works

The Deposit Sweep Program provides clients with the ability to improve their cash liquidity management capabilities
and increase access to additional FDIC insurance coverage on deposits.

Set Target Balance¹

A target balance is set for your checking account. At the end of each business day, we automatically review your checking account balance. If the balance exceeds
the target balance, excess collected funds are
automatically deposited at Program Banks.

Maximize Deposit Insurance²

We maximize your eligibility for deposit insurance by systematically allocating cash across many Program Banks. If the aggregate balance available to be transferred to Program Banks exceeds the
Program Limit, excess funds are swept
to the CNB Deposit Account.
