SWEEP ACCOUNT
Our Sweep account allows you to invest idle funds into overnight repurchase
agreements, maximizing the return on your funds. Investments are immediately
available to cover disbursements and daily reporting makes it easy to track
investment activity.
(* Investments are not FDIC insured, not bank guaranteed and may lose value.)
AUTOMATED FUNDING/BORROWING
Automated Funding/Borrowing provides you with three easy-to-use options for
minimizing borrowing costs, and maximizing investment returns.
Checking to Loan: Automatically transfers all collected funds in your
commercial checking account to pay down revolving debt.
Lockbox: Combines our Wholesale Lockbox with our Checking to Loan
option to accelerate cash collections, resulting in reduced borrowing expenses.
End-to-End: Combines the Checking to Loan and Wholesale Lockbox
options with our Sweep Account. This service works by transferring collected
funds to pay down revolving debt, and then invests the remaining balance in our
overnight Sweep Account. As funds are needed to cover disbursements, we
automatically transfer from the Sweep Account, with any remaining funds coming
from the loan.
