Program Advantages

Cash balances in your customers’ accounts are sent daily into the DDM program. The DDM program then allocates those balances to deposit accounts at FDIC or NCUA member institutions in increments below $250K per customer identifier (e.g., based on TIN) so that your customers’ balances can receive access to deposit insurance coverage up to the relevant program limit.

Participating banks with affiliated trust departments can benefit by adding another source of stable funding.

The sweep deposit program provides a stable source of funding with flexibility around target balances to address our evolving funding needs over the years.
