With ICS® or CDARS®, you can access multi-million-dollar FDIC protection on deposits placed in demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, and CDs—all through our bank. To learn more, contact us.
Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and ICS are registered service marks, and the IntraFi hexagon and IntraFi logo are service marks, of IntraFi Network LLC.
Why ICS? (demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts)
Would you like to access multi-million-dollar FDIC protection on your deposits, earn interest, and enjoy flexibility at the same time? Now you can—through ICS®, the IntraFi® Cash Service.
With ICS, you can:
Rest assured. Make even large deposits eligible for protection that’s backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government.
Earn interest. Put excess cash balances to work by placing funds into demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, or both.
Save time. Work directly with just our bank—a bank you know and trust. Receive just one monthly statement from us summarizing your account activity and balances. And, if you are accustomed to collateralization, reduce the need to track collateral on an ongoing basis.
Access funds. Enjoy unlimited withdrawals of funds placed in demand deposit accounts, or make up to six program withdrawals per month of funds placed into money market deposit accounts. Your funds can be placed using either or both ICS options to best match your cash management and liquidity needs.
How can deposits greater than the standard FDIC insurance maximum be eligible for insurance by the FDIC?
The FDIC insures up to $250,000 in a customer’s deposit accounts in a given insurable capacity at an FDIC-insured depository institution. When your funds are placed through ICS, they are divided into amounts under the standard FDIC maximum and placed with other institutions participating in IntraFi's network—each an FDIC-insured institution. This makes your deposit eligible for FDIC insurance at each member bank. By working directly with our bank, you can access insurance through many. You do not pay a fee to use this service, and you receive just one consolidated, monthly account statement from us. (You can also see, online, where your funds are at all times.)
How often can I access my funds?
You can make unlimited program withdrawals of funds placed in demand deposit accounts and up to six program withdrawals per month of funds placed into money market deposit accounts.
Who has custody of my funds?
Funds placed through ICS are deposited only in FDIC-insured institutions. We act as custodian for your ICS deposits, and BNY Mellon acts as subcustodian for the deposits.
Who provides the additional FDIC insurance when my funds are placed using ICS?
Through ICS, funds are placed with other institutions participating in IntraFi's network, and those Network members provide you with access to FDIC insurance coverage on deposits at those banks. Working directly with just our bank, you can access coverage through many.
Is my account information safe?
You work directly with just us—the bank you know and trust. As always, your confidential information remains protected.

Why CDARS? (CD)
CDARS offers multiple benefits to investors who want to combine the security of access to FDIC insurance with the convenience of working directly with just one financial institution.
Peace of Mind. Using the CDARS service, you can access multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance on CD investments.
One Relationship. You work directly with our financial institution.
One Rate. You negotiate one interest rate per maturity on CD investments placed through CDARS. With CDARS, there is no need to negotiate multiple rates or tally disbursements for each CD.
One Statement. You receive one regular statement detailing your CD investments. You no longer need to manually consolidate statements at the end of each month, quarter, or year.
No Hidden Fees. You will not be charged annual fees, subscription fees, or transaction fees for using CDARS. The rate you see is the rate you get.
No Ongoing Collateralization. Because CDARS deposits are eligible for FDIC protection, you can eliminate ongoing collateral tracking.
A Wide Variety of Maturities. Select from various maturities—ranging from 4 weeks to 260 weeks (5 years)—and choose the terms that best suit your investment needs.
Community Investment. The full amount of your funds can support lending initiatives that strengthen your local community.1
[1] When deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other banks that use CDARS, our bank can use the full amount of a deposit placed through CDARS for local lending, satisfying some depositors’ local investment goals or mandates. Alternatively, with a depositor’s consent, our bank may choose to receive fee income instead of deposits from other banks. Under these circumstances, deposited funds would not be available for local lending.
