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.
