CDARS

CDARS® deposit products are now called IntraFi® Network DepositsSM.

Through IntraFi, you can access FDIC protection on multi-million dollar CD investments through Bank First. IntraFi Network Deposits can be a valuable cash management or longer-term investment tool for you.*

IntraFi Network Deposits are a great solution for:

Why CDs?

  1. Safety: Your money can access multi-million dollar FDIC insurance coverage.
  2. Convenience: You work directly with us. You earn one interest rate, receive one regular statement, and receive one year-end tax form.
  3. Community Investment: The full value of your money can support lending opportunities in your local community.
  4. 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 do IntraFi Network Deposits work?

Bank First is a member of IntraFi Network Deposits. When you place a large amount with us, we place your funds into CDs issued by other banks in the same network – in increments of less than $100,000 – so that both principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working with just one.

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?

With IntraFi Network Deposits, 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. In addition, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values – another time saving convenience. Of course, your confidential account information remains protected.
