Demand Deposit Marketplace® (DDM®) Program
Access to Expanded Deposit Insurance Coverage with our Flexible Cash Management Program
Strategically manage your deposit funding needs and precisely manage your balance sheet liquidity levels with the Demand Deposit Marketplace (DDM) program.
The DDM program enables banks, trust departments, credit unions, and other financial institutions to offer its customers access to millions of dollars in expanded deposit insurance coverage, while also enabling those institutions to strategically manage daily liquidity and offer its customers’ rates that are competitive with other sweep options.* The DDM program serves as a flexible balance sheet management tool for participating banks and credit unions — providing access to wholesale funding and a ‘reciprocal deposits’ feature with the ability to increase or decrease the deposit amounts on the institution’s balance sheet at any time.
Whether your bank has excess liquidity, requires more deposits, or seeks to maintain deposit levels while offering its customers access to expanded insurance coverage on their deposits, the DDM program has a deposit solution that is right for you.

*We provide recordkeeping and/or administrative services with respect to cash sweep and placement programs that we administer (e.g., the DDM and RTID programs). While customer rates obtained on funds placed into those programs may, under certain circumstances, outperform cash alternatives, such as money market funds, the primary objective of our services 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).

How it Works
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 insured institutions in increments below $250K per eligible depositor (e.g., based on TIN) so that your customers’ balances can receive access to FDIC or NCUA insurance coverage up to the relevant program limit.
Participating banks with affiliated trust departments can benefit by adding another source of stable funding.
