§ 6528 Correspondent Services Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Banks can help other banks with special services, like holding money for them, as long as they follow other laws.
  • •A bank can keep a special account (no interest) at another bank if it helps with their banking relationship.
  • •Banks can take deposits (no interest) from other banks to cover costs, settle payments, or for other banking needs.
  • •These deposits don’t give the other bank any voting rights or membership in the first bank.

Example

Bank A helps Bank B by holding money for them so Bank B can easily pay its customers.

Bank A can keep a special account for Bank B without paying interest, and Bank B can’t vote or become a member just because they deposited money.

§ 6528 Correspondent Services Rules

An association may provide correspondent services primarily to other depository institutions to the extent that the activity does not violate other provisions of law. (a) An association may maintain a noninterest-bearing account at any institution at which accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, if the account is necessary or incidental to a correspondent relationship. (b) An association may receive non-interest-bearing deposits from correspondent institutions for use as compensating balances, for settlement purposes, or for other purposes incidental to a correspondent relationship. These deposits may be payable on demand and subject to withdrawal by negotiable or transferable instrument, order, or authorization. These deposits shall not give rise to voting rights of membership in a state mutual association. (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1118, Sec. 34.)
