Repurchase Agreement

Under a Repurchase Agreement, demand account balances above a predetermined “peg” are automatically swept into a Repurchase (REPO) account and invested excess bank funds in the Overnight Fed Funds market. Customer investments are collateralized by US government/agency securities. Funds are transferred back to demand account to maintain the peg balance.

How it Works

• A minimum required balance is established for the demand account to offset all or part of the cost of services.
• Excess funds above this amount is automatically swept to a REPO investment account.
• Interest is earned based on the targeted Fed Funds rate
• REPO interest is credited to the checking account monthly.
• Funds are automatically transferred back to the checking account to maintain the minimum balance
