Sweep Advantage

How it works

1. Your business checking account is linked to a Money Rate Savings account
2. Choose an investment option and set target balance for the checking account established
3. Funds in excess of that target amount are automatically transferred to the Money Rate Savings Account and into your chosen investment option
4. If the checking account balance falls below the target, funds from the Money Rate Savings Account are automatically transferred over to reestablish the balance
5. On the first business day of the month, any funds in an investment will move back to the operating account and then be moved to the Money Rate Savings Account
