Zero Balance Accounts

Zero Balance Accounts (ZBAs) help eliminate manual transfers of funds between accounts, reduce idle cash and prevent overdrafts. Funds are automatically transferred from a business master account into its ZBA account(s) to cover disbursements at the end of each business day. ZBAs simplify funds transfer activity, help maintain account autonomy and are useful for funding multiple disbursement accounts on an "as needed" basis.

Additionally, ZBAs can be used to automatically move deposits from one or more depository accounts into a related master account. This allows consolidation of all your company’s bank balances and the creation of one pool of funds, enabling you to determine your daily cash position and optimize investments.

ZBAs help businesses:

  • Improve cash flow by eliminating idle balances
  • Maintain control of multiple accounts by funding them through a single, centralized account
  • Eliminate time spent on manually funding subsidiary accounts
  • Save clerical time and expenses
  • Maximize funds available for investment and minimize risk of overdraft fees
  • Invest excess funds in the central operating account to increase returns and maintain liquidity

 

Loan Sweep

A Loan Sweep account lets you automatically transfer predetermined funds between your deposit account and loan account, minimizing your interest expense by linking your deposit account and credit account/line of credit.
