Zero Balance/Target Account
This account lets businesses concentrate all funds into a single account while benefiting from the flexibility of multiple disbursement accounts for accounting purposes and audit control. Eliminate forecasting and funding guesswork and improve 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 corporate checking accounts while earning interest on excess funds or minimizing use of a line of credit. Excess funds move into an interest bearing overnight repurchase agreement or used to pay down a line of credit. When needed, the funds move back to a checking account or a draw is made on a line of credit.

With a Commercial Investment Account, corporate checking accounts are linked to an overnight investment account. A target collected balance is established for a 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 corporate checking accounts. When additional money is needed, it automatically gets transferred to the account. Excess funds are used to pay down the line of credit.
