Wintrust’s liquidity services ensure that you are getting the most out of your cash flow. These automated accounts sweep excess funds from your checking towards investments or towards the principal interest payments on loans.
The Investment Sweep is an efficient, automated way for you to maintain liquidity while earning interest income on your daily operating cash. With a bank Investment Sweep, you continue to write checks against and make deposits to your commercial checking account just like you always have. The difference is that excess funds are automatically transferred, or ‘swept’, at the close of business each day into your Investment Sweep.
Features and Benefits
Interest rates on the Investment Sweep are determined by the bank and are subject to change on a daily basis. The Investment Sweep is a secured obligation of the bank. Funds deposited in an Investment Sweep may not be insured by the FDIC.
Our Loan Sweep service automatically uses the collected balances in your checking account to minimize the interest expense on your loan account.
The Loan Sweep service eliminates the manual process of calculating principal pay downs. Instead, our system will determine those payment amounts based on a pre-determined “target” balance for your business checking account. Any excess available funds will automatically “sweep” from your checking account and reduce your loan account principal balance, as needed. In addition, this product ensures that the transfers occur in a timely manner at the end of each business day’s processing.
Features and Benefits
Our dual sweep solution is also available. This service combines the investment and loan sweep to create a system that uses available funds to reduce the interest expense on loan accounts and applies excess funds to investments.
