longer-term investment tool for you or your business.1
Why CDARS?
It’s one-stop shopping. With help from CDARS, you can access:
Safety
Your money can receive $50 million or more in FDIC insurance coverage.
Convenience
You work directly with us. You earn one interest rate and receive one regular
statement. Individual investors receive 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.
How does CDARS work?
We are members of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we place your funds into
certificates of deposit issued by other banks in the network – in increments of less than $250,000 – so that
both your principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. With help from a sophisticated
matching system, we exchange deposits with other banks that are members of the network.
These exchanges, which occur on a dollar-for-dollar basis, can bring the full amount of your original deposit
back to our bank. As a result, we can make the full amount of your deposit available for community lending
purposes.
What else should I know?
Now, you no longer have to spend time managing multiple bank relationships, administering various interest
rates, organizing interest disbursements from various sources, or manually consolidating monthly
statements. This reduces your administrative burden, especially during tax and financial reporting seasons.
And with CDARS, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values – another time saving
convenience.
Of course, your confidential account information remains protected.
Ask us about how CDARS can work for you the next time you visit one of our branches, or email Mound
City Bank for more information.
Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into the CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement with Mound City Bank. The agreement
contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds by us. Please read the agreement carefully before signing it.
