CDARS^®

CDARS^®***, the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service^®, is the convenient way to access FDIC insurance on all your CD deposits. Even with the increased FDIC coverage, you may need CDARS.

More CDARS insight from our team:

• One bank: Everything is handled through Newtown Savings Bank. Your deposits are broken into smaller amounts. FDIC-insured banks that are members of the CDARS Network issue CDs in amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum so that your entire investment is eligible for FDIC insurance.
• One rate: You earn one rate per maturity on each investment. Although you may be issued multiple CDs for a single maturity, they will all earn the same rate.
• One statement: You will receive one regular account statement listing all of your CDs – along with issuing banks, maturity dates, interest earned and other details.

*Sweep Investment Service accounts are not insured by the FDIC; are not deposits or other obligations of the institution and are not guaranteed by the institution; and, are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal invested.

**Placement of your funds through the ICS service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures set forth in the agreements you enter into with us, including the ICS Deposit Placement Agreement. Limits and customer eligibility criteria apply. Program withdrawals are limited to six per month.

***Limits apply. Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into a CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement with us. The agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds by us. CDARS and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service are registered service marks of Promontory International Network, LLC.
