How ICS® and CDARS® Works If You Have More Than $250,000

ICS® & CDARS® is a secure and convenient way to insure high balance deposit of $250,000 or more, with full FDIC protection.  With our Extended FDIC Insurance Programs, you can:

Rest assured. Make even large deposits eligible for protection that’s backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government.

• Earn interest. Put excess cash balances to work by placing funds into demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, or both.

• Save time. Work directly with just our bank—a bank you know and trust. Forego opening accounts under different insurable capacities or managing multiple bank relationships. Receive just one monthly statement from us summarizing your account activity and balances. And, if you are accustomed to collateralization, reduce the need to track collateral on an ongoing basis.

• Access funds. Make unlimited withdrawals of funds placed into money market deposit accounts or up to six program withdrawals per month of funds placed into demand deposit accounts. Funds can be placed in one or both types of deposit accounts to best match your cash management and liquidity needs.

• One Relationship. Work directly with our dedicated team at Empire State Bank Business and Personal Accounts protected - Extended FDIC insurance covers all types of deposits, both for Business and Personal, including:

  • Checking accounts
  • Savings accounts
  • Money Market deposit accounts
  • Time deposits such as certificates of deposit (CDs)

** Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and ICS are registered service marks, and the IntraFi hexagon and IntraFi logo are service marks, of IntraFi Network LLC.
