Deposit placement through CDARS® or ICS® is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS® or ICS® satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi® network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi® and ICS® are registered service marks, and the IntraFi® hexagon and IntraFi® logo are service marks, of IntraFi® Network LLC. (1470)
