CDARS® & ICS®, the IntraFi Cash ServiceSM

With ICS and CDARS, you can access multi-million-dollar FDIC protection at participating network banks by working directly with just our bank.

  • Rest assured. Know that deposits well into the millions are eligible for FDIC insurance protection. Because deposit accounts are not subject to floating net asset values, market volatility will not negatively impact principal.
  • Earn interest. Put cash balances to work in demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, or CDs.
  • Keep it simple. Avoid opening multiple accounts with multiple institutions to protect your funds. Forego the need to use repo sweeps, track collateral on an ongoing basis, and manually consolidate statements and disbursements from multiple banks.1
  • Manage liquidity. Enjoy access to funds placed into demand deposit accounts and money market deposit accounts. With CD placements, select from multiple terms to meet your liquidity needs.
  • Support your community. Feel good knowing that the full amount of funds placed through ICS and CDARS can stay local to support lending opportunities that build a stronger community.2

How do ICS and CDARS work?


FAQ

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. Your ICS and CDARS funds are divided into amounts under the standard FDIC maximum and placed with other IntraFi network banks—each an FDIC-insured institution.  By working directly with our bank, you can access insurance through many.

How often can I access my funds?

When placing funds through ICS into demand deposit accounts, you can make unlimited program withdrawals.

When placing funds through ICS into money market deposit accounts, you can make up to six program withdrawals per month.

Funds placed using CDARS may be accessed upon the maturity of the CDs. Early withdrawals may be subject to significant withdrawal penalties.

 

Who has custody of my funds?

Funds placed through CDARS and ICS are deposited only in FDIC-insured institutions. We act as custodian for your CDARS and ICS deposits, and BNY Mellon acts as subcustodian for the deposits.

Can I view my account information online?

Yes.  You can manage your ICS accounts online. Through the Depositor Control Panel (DCP), you can check your balances, view where your funds could be placed, review and manage daily processed fund placements, and track monthly program withdrawals, and view your transaction history. Once you have opened your ICS account(s), the DCP is available at www.depositorcontrol.com.

Information about funds placed through CDARS is not available in the Deposit Control Panel, but you will receive monthly statements and other documents relating to your CDARS placements.

Is my account information safe?

You work directly with just us—the bank you know and trust. As always, your confidential information remains protected.

Important Disclaimer Information:

1If a depositor is subject to restrictions with respect to the placement of funds in depository institutions, it is the responsibility of the depositor to determine whether the placement of the depositor’s funds through ICS or CDARS, or a particular ICS or CDARS transaction, satisfies those restrictions.

2When deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other institutions that use ICS or CDARS, our bank can use the full amount of a deposit placed through ICS or 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 participating institutions. Under these circumstances, deposited funds would not be available for local lending.

3Limits apply. Funds may be submitted for placement only after client enters into the applicable Deposit Placement Agreement with Providence Bank & Trust. This agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds.

4Deposit 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, ICS, and CDARS are registered service marks, and IntraFi Cash Service is a service mark, of IntraFi Network LLC.
