ICS/Intrafi

Maximize Your FDIC Protection with ICS Accounts

A seamless solution to ensure your funds remain secure, accessible, and fully insured across multiple institutions.

How do ICS/Sweep accounts work and why would I need one?

Institutions, like ours, that offer ICS/Sweep solutions are members of the IntraFi network. When we place your funds through the ICS, that deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000. The funds are then placed in demand deposit accounts or money market deposit accounts (using ICS), at multiple banks. As a result, you enjoy coverage from many institutions while working directly with just one. You receive one regular statement from our bank for each service in which you participate, and, as always, your confidential information is protected.

Yes, you do. Your funds are still there for you when you need them.

To fully FDIC secure your funds, we ask you to list any financial institutions when you start the ICS account. Then IntraFi will not place your funds in those institutions.

Yes. We disclose the rate as of today when you open the account. That can change as the market in general changes. You receive your interest monthly on those funds.

Yes. Both consumer accounts and business accounts can benefit from an ICS/Sweep account. This is for anyone that wants to ensure that their funds are fully FDIC insured.

Very easy! First, we need to know if the account will be for business or for you personally. Different documentation will be needed depending on how your business is set up (LLC, Corporation, Sole Prop etc.) For personal accounts, all Banks are required to confirm your identity. We will work with you to obtain two valid forms of ID that are acceptable to the Bank.
