Zero Balance/Target Account
This account lets you concentrate all your funds into a single account while benefiting from the flexibility of multiple disbursement accounts for accounting purposes and audit control. You eliminate forecasting and funding guesswork and improve your funds control and productivity.

A Zero Balance Account concentrates funds into a Master Account which is used to fund disbursement accounts. One entry is made at the end of the day to fund disbursement accounts such as payroll, accounts payable, employee benefit payments, etc. Subsidiary accounts are maintained at zero (or target) balance to eliminate idle funds.

A Sweep Account is used to maintain a target balance in your corporate checking account while earning interest on excess funds or minimizing use of your line of credit. Excess funds move into an interest bearing overnight repurchase agreement or used to pay down your line of credit. When needed, the funds move back to your checking account or a draw is made on your line of credit.

With a Commercial Investment Account, your corporate checking account is linked to an overnight investment account. A target collected balance is established for your checking account and excess funds are automatically invested in an interest bearing account.

Another sweep account option is to link a Revolving Line of Credit to your corporate checking account. When you need additional money, it automatically gets transferred to your account. Excess funds are used to pay down the line of credit.

Positive Pay
This system allows you to identify and return fraudulent checks paid against your checking account on the same day they are received by WoodTrust Bank. This is accomplished by comparing the check serial number and the dollar amount of each check presented against a file of valid issue items you provide us.
