Automated Sweep Services
These services allow you to use your cash effectively between accounts and lines of credit. Here is a list of sweep arrangements and how they work:
Overnight Investment Sweep
A primary business or municipal checking account is tied to an investment account. Funds are swept from the checking account overnight to the investment account to increase interest earnings. Funds are swept back into the checking account the following morning for operations.
Line of Credit Sweep
A primary business checking account is tied to a line of credit. Funds are swept from the checking account overnight to pay down the line of credit balance, reducing interest expense. Funds are swept back into the checking account the following morning for operations.

Zero Balance Accounts
Funds from sub‐accounts can be transferred to or from a primary deposit account. Zero balance accounts are funded with just enough to cover checks presented.
