Returns on Large Investments (CDARS)

CDARS® is a safe and smart investment vehicle if you’re looking to protect large-dollar investments. You earn CD-level returns that may compare favorably to Treasury and money-market-fund yields.

CDARS provides access to multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance. That’s why thousands of safety-conscious institutional investors, businesses, non-profits and public funds/governments choose CDARS. It’s the easiest way to access multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance through our bank.  (Limits apply.)

With CDARS you have:

  • The ease of working through one trusted relationship, earning one rate per maturity, and receiving consolidated statements.
  • The ability to forego ongoing collateral tracking if you are accustomed to doing so.
  • The power of daily compounding.
  • A finite maturity date (in contrast to auction-rate or some adjustable-rate securities).

More About CDARS

CDARS CDs are considered bank deposits. They are not Depository Trust Company (DTC) eligible and, currently, no secondary market exists. Early withdrawals are available, but require the payment of a substantial penalty.

You should compare the current rates and features of CDs (including CDs placed through the CDARS service) to other investment alternatives. Past performance may not be representative of future performance or success.

Weekly and overall limits apply. If 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 CDARS or a particular CDARS transaction satisfies those restrictions. Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into a CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement with our bank. The agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds by our bank through CDARS.
