1 Under the DDM program, funds are deposited into demand deposit accounts (DDAs) or money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) at receiving banks or share draft accounts or share accounts at receiving credit unions. While your customers’ funds are held in MMDAs or share accounts, the return of your customers’ funds from the DDM program may be delayed as, under federal regulations, the receiving institution is permitted to impose a delay of up to seven days on any withdrawal request from an MMDA or share account.
2 While interest rates obtained on funds placed at receiving institutions under the DDM program may, under certain circumstances, outperform cash alternatives, such as money market funds, the primary objective of the DDM program is to provide customers with convenient access to expanded deposit insurance coverage on their funds (and not for investment enhancements or higher rates of returns or profits).
3 Subject to applicable laws, regulation and rules relating to brokered deposits, including 12 CFR 337.6. R&T makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to an institution’s classification of deposits as brokered or not brokered. Such determination is entirely and solely the responsibility of that institution.
4 Under the DDM Program, your institution may be permitted to allocate your customers’ funds to participating receiving institutions in increments of up to $250K per customer identifier(e.g., TIN), per account ownership category, per receiving institution, subject to approval and relevant agreements with R&T.
5 Subject to the DDM Program Customer Terms & Conditions. Any funds placed into the DDM Program above the program limit (being excess funds) are placed into deposit accounts at excess receiving institutions and are not eligible for access to deposit insurance coverage (subject to FDIC/NCUA laws and regulations, which may permit access).
