*Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in applicable agreements. Live Oak requires a minimum balance of $350,000 to enroll in our Insured Cash Sweep program. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). Additionally, all deposits at a destination bank in the same ownership category will be aggregated for the SMDIA. The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. Certain conditions must be satisfied for “pass-through” FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply. IntraFi Cash Service and the IntraFi hexagon are service marks, and IntraFi, ICS, and CDARS are registered service marks of IntraFi Network LLC.
