Extended coverage
on your assets.
Get the safety of FDIC insurance coverage while your cash balance earns competitive interest. The Insured Deposit Program provides a safe vehicle for cash balances by offering organizations FDIC deposit insurance for up to $1.75 million.
The BB&T Insured Deposit Program offers the following features:
Through our daily sweep option, available cash balances are deposited into an interest-bearing, FDIC-insured deposit account at one or more financial institutions. Cash balances continue to earn interest while providing you with extended FDIC coverage.
Participating banks are selected for the program using key financial indicators for safety and soundness, which are reviewed not less than quarterly.
To offer our clients this insured, money market deposit program, BB&T has entered a strategic alliance with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG.
For a nonmanaged account, such as a custody account, you will need to give us positive consent in order to enter the program. If you give us consent, we will transfer your entire cash sweep investment balance into the program.
For a managed account, such as an investment management agency or trust account, you will not need to give us positive consent. We will transfer your entire cash sweep investment balance into the program 30 days after the date of the letter we sent announcing the program, unless you contact us and ask that we not place you in the program.
The program currently offers $250,000 of FDIC coverage per Program Bank in which we are able to deposit your funds, up to $1,750,000 in total coverage. FDIC covers both the principal and accrued interest in each account for any bank that fails.
The coverage outlined above is available per FDIC account type. Each account type is calculated separately (individual versus joint versus trust versus business) – so a joint account and an individual account can each have up to, for example, $1,750,000 (for a total of $3,500,000) and each would be fully covered by the applicable FDIC insurance under the IDP. For a more detailed explanation, please consult the FDIC website (www.fdic.gov) or contact the FDIC, Office of Consumer Affairs, by letter (550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20429),
by phone (877-275-3342 or 800-925-4618 (TDD), by email (dcainternet@fdic.gov).
If you have a cash balance greater than the amount for which we are able to obtain FDIC coverage by depositing in multiple program banks, then the excess amount will not be insured.
Any uninsured balances that you have in the program will placed with BB&T. You have the option to sweep deposits in excess of a stated amount to an alternative cash sweep investment. If you are interested in this option, please contact your BB&T Relationship Manager.
