Saving Money Securely with IntraFi Network Deposits

At First Bank, we offer IntraFi Network Deposits as a solution for securing larger deposits.  When you place a large deposit with us, we place your funds into certificates of deposit issued by other financial institutions in the IntraFi’s network of banks, effectively allowing you access to multi-million-dollar FDIC protection on CD investments.  If you have over $250,000 in savings and would like to learn more about how to combine the convenience of working directly with just one financial institution with the security of access to FDIC insurance, keep reading this blog to learn about IntraFi Network Deposits with First Bank of the Lake.

FDIC Insurance

The FDIC insures up to $250,000 in deposits per account holder per institution to ensure depositors that the funds will be there when they need them.  Banks don’t just keep deposited funds in a vault, they will use those funds to invest and earn revenue to pay for things like interest on savings accounts, CDs, etc.  Investments may include loans to other customers, stocks, and more. FDIC insurance was created to protect consumers in the event that such investments cause a bank to fail thereby adding stability to our economic system by preventing such a failure from wiping out account holders’ savings.

But what if you have larger deposits to make and want to be ensured that the money you are saving is protected? Many people will separate their money into different accounts in different banks to make sure none of their savings is at risk.  But it can be complicated to keep track of and manage so many different accounts, each with their own balance and different disbursements. 

IntraFi Network Deposits

With IntraFi Network Deposits, everything is handled through our bank in Osage Beach, Missouri.  You work directly with us to secure large deposits. Your large deposit is broken into smaller amounts and placed with other banks that are members of IntraF's network of banks. Then those banks issue CDs in amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum, so that your investment is eligible for FDIC protection. By working directly with just one bank – our bank – you can receive insurance through many. It is that simple.


Benefits

With IntraFi Network Deposits, you do not have to negotiate multiple rates or manually tally disbursements for each CD.  You earn one interest rate per maturity on your entire CD investment without the need for consolidating multiple disbursement checks. You receive one monthly statement with the details of all your CDs including issuing banks, maturity dates, interest earned, etc.  You will no longer have to consolidate statements on your own or track changing collateral values.  You will be able to get a full understanding where your CD investments stand at a glance.  

There are no hidden fees of any kind – no annual fees, no subscription fees, no transaction fees.  The rate you see is the rate you get. You can select from various maturities from 4 weeks to 3 years and choose the best terms for your needs. Most importantly, you will have the peace of mind knowing your savings is securely deposited and not subject to floating net asset values that can lead to a loss of principal and erase returns during a down market or period of high market volatility.
