Liquidity Solutions

FICA For Banks

The FICA For Banks program provides an outlet for excess liquidity. By moving excess deposits in the program, participating banks can serve and retain deposit customers that would otherwise burden the bank’s balance sheet and concentration limits. The customer relationship remains with the bank, while deposits placed into the program avoid capital charges. Banks in the program earn fee income on the balances, while the bank’s customers benefit from 100% FDIC insurance up to $25 million per tax ID.
