Experience The Advantages of CDARS®
It’s one-stop shopping. With help from CDARS®, you can access:
- Safety – Your money can access multi-million dollar FDIC insurance coverage.
- Convenience – You work directly with us. You earn one interest rate and receive one regular statement, and one year-end tax form.
- Community Investment – The full value of your money can support lending opportunities in your local community.
- CD-Level Rates – Your money earns CD-level returns which may compare favorably with other investment alternatives, including Treasuries, corporate sweep accounts, and money market funds.
CDARS® is one of the safest and smartest investment vehicles for investors looking to protect their large-dollar investments while earning CD-level returns.
CDs placed through CDARS® offer:
- Access to multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance.
- The ease of working through one trusted relationship, earning one rate per maturity, and receiving consolidated statements.
- Possible relief from ongoing collateralization – since CDARS® deposits are eligible for FDIC protection, you may not need to perform the time-consuming tasks of continually collateralizing your deposits and tracking changing collateral values on a recurring basis.
- The power of daily compounding.
- A finite maturity date (in contrast to auction-rate or some adjustable-rate securities).
- The ability to have your funds available to support lending initiatives, including special development projects that strengthen your local community.
How Can Deposits Greater than the Standard FDIC Insurance Maximum ($250,000) Be Insured by the FDIC?
The standard FDIC insurance maximum is $250,000 per insured capacity, per bank. So, you can run around to multiple institutions to deposit your funds to receive the same coverage you can access using CDARS®.
Or you can place your large-dollar deposit with CalPrivate Bank – a member of the CDARS® Network. Your deposit is divided into smaller amounts and placed with other CDARS® Network members – each an FDIC-insured institution.
Then, those member institutions issue CDs in amounts under $250,000, so that your deposit is eligible for FDIC insurance at each member bank. By working directly with one financial institution – CalPrivate Bank – you can receive insurance through many.
Who Has Custody of My Funds?
Funds placed through CDARS® are deposited only in FDIC-insured banks. We act as custodian for your CDARS® deposits, and the sub-custodian for CDARS® deposits is The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), the largest custodian in the world with total assets of more than $22 trillion.
Unique to CDARS®, a depositor can obtain a confirmation of records maintained by BNY Mellon as sub-custodian in order to reconcile those records with the statements received from us. At any time, as often as desired, a depositor can obtain a certified statement from BNY Mellon that confirms the exact amount of his or her CDs, including principal balance and accrued interest, for each FDIC-insured institution that issues a CD through CDARS®.
You can submit a request for the certified statement, along with BNY Mellon’s processing fee, through us. BNY Mellon will send the certified statement directly to you or to another party, such as an auditor, designated by you.
How Can My Funds Be Used Locally If My CDs Are Issued by Financial Institutions All over the Country?
The standard FDIC insurance maximum is $250,000 per insured capacity, per bank. So, you can run around to multiple institutions to deposit your funds to receive the same coverage you can access using CDARS®.
Or you can place your large-dollar deposit with CalPrivate Bank – a member of the CDARS® Network. Your deposit is divided into smaller amounts and placed with other CDARS® Network members – each an FDIC-insured institution.
Then, those member institutions issue CDs in amounts under $250,000, so that your deposit is eligible for FDIC insurance at each member bank. By working directly with one financial institution – CalPrivate Bank – you can receive insurance through many.
Is My Account Information Safe?
Your account information is protected; your relationship remains between you and CalPrivate Bank.
- Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into the CDARS® Deposit Placement Agreement with CalPrivate Bank. The agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds by us.
- This benefit applies to some, but not all types of CDARS® transactions. Let us know if this benefit is important to you, so that we can explain the relevant terms and conditions in more detail.
- Limits apply. Funds may be submitted for placement only after an investor enters into a CDARS® Deposit Placement Agreement with our bank. This agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds.
- If an investor is subject to restrictions with respect to the placement of funds in depository institutions, it is the responsibility of the investor to determine whether the placement of the investor’s funds through CDARS® or a particular CDARS® transaction satisfies those restrictions.
- Because deposited funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis with other banks in the CDARS® Network, our bank can use the full amount of a deposit placed through CDARS® for local lending, satisfying some investors’ local investment goals/mandates. Alternatively, with an investor’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.
