How CDARS works
Unity National Bank can offer CDARS because we are a member of a special network.
When you place a large deposit with our bank, we place your funds into certificates of deposit issued by other banks in the network in increments of less than $250,000 so that both your principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working with just one bank.
Other Items of Interest
Now, you no longer need 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.
And with CDARS you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values, another time savings convenience.
Of course your confidential account information remains protected.
[1] Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into a CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement with Unity National Bank. The agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds. Please read the agreement carefully before signing.
