ICS & CDARS

Safe, Simple Cash Management

With ICS and CDARS, you can enjoy the safety and simplicity that comes with access to multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance through a single bank relationship. You choose the service or combination of services that offer the returns and access to funds you seek.

How do ICS and CDARS work?

American National is a member of the IntraFi network, allowing us to offer  ICS and CDARS. When we place your funds through the ICS or CDARS service, that deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000. The funds are then placed in demand deposit accounts or money market deposit accounts (using ICS), or in CDs (using CDARS), at multiple banks. As a result, you can access coverage from many institutions while working directly with American National.
You receive one monthly statement from us  and, as always, your confidential information is protected.

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.
