Advantage Sweep

Pacific West Bank has partnered with a network that provides additional FDIC insurance to our clients up to $30 million! Here is how it works:

  • Client determines a daily target balance for the account.
  • For deposits that exceed the target balance, FDIC insurance is borrowed from other well-capitalized banks that participate in the program.
  • The sweep of funds occurs overnight; funds are deposited back to the PWB account the following business day.
  • Funds are always protected by FDIC insurance and may earn a higher rate of interest than a standard account***.
  • Interest is variable, subject to change and is credited to the account monthly; separate statement will be generated and delivered to client.

***Rate determined based on each individual client relationship.

1. No service charge for first 50 checks and 20 deposits per month; $0.20 per check or deposit thereafter.
2. Non-MoneyPass® ATMs may impose an ATM surcharge.
3. Visa Debit Card: Transactional, inactivity, or lost/stolen card fees may apply.
4. Overdraft protection transfers in $100 increments; sufficient money market or savings balance must be maintained to cover checks or insufficient funds charges may apply.
