How does CDARS work?
Tri Counties Bank is part of the CDARS Network. When you open a CDARS account with us, we place your funds into CDs issued by other banks in the Network—in increments of less than the standard FDIC insurance maximum—so that both principal and interest are eligible for FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working directly with Tri Counties Bank.
What else should you know?
With access to multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance, you can reduce collateralization requirements (if you are accustomed to collateralization) and avoid the hassle of opening accounts at different banks in different insurable capacities. You can also avoid manually consolidating account statements and interest disbursements. CDARS reduces administrative burdens, especially during tax and financial reporting seasons, and frees up your valuable time. You can skip extra paperwork while enjoying the piece of mind associated with multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance eligibility.
As always, your confidential information remains protected.

CDARS satisfies the FDIC's requirements for agency pass-through deposit insurance coverage.
