SimpliCD
Overnight Account:
Tricorp’s Overnight Account offers a two-tiered rate
structure based upon balances of less than $5 million and $5
million or more. Both tiers pay very competitive rates and
require no management of funds. The system automatically
accrues the rate daily, based on the balance at the end of the
day after settlement is posted. Interest is paid monthly.
Funds are immediately available and can be used to settle any
payment activity.
Premium Overnight Investment Account:
Tricorp’s Premium Overnight Investment Account was designed to
offer immediate access to your funds while paying the highest
rates. Funds can be withdrawn or deposited as desired as long
as a 1 0 million balance is maintained. The rate offered
on the Premium Overnight Investment Account is closely
correlated to the Fed Funds rate.
Term Certificates:
Tricorp members are finding that it makes sense to ladder
their investments. With Tricorp’s term certificates, members
are able to invest in varying terms to get better yields and
still have sufficient access to their cash. Terms from 32 days
to 5 years are available at very competitive rates.
Structured Certificates:
Tricorp offers a full line of structured certificates
through periodic investment specials. Step-up Certificates,
Fixed Callable Certificates, Amortizing Certificates and
Floating Rate Asset Programs (FRAPs) offer features designed
to fit every credit union’s needs.
SimpliCD:
Tricorp is pleased to be able to offer its members another
investment alternative. SimpliCD is a certificate of deposit
program that enables you to easily invest substantial funds in
federally insured, brokered CDs.
Each day, SimpliCD searches its nationwide network of
issuers for the best rates on federally insured jumbo CDs. Our
SimpliCD rate sheet will show you daily rates for CDs in terms
ranging from 30 days to five years and in amounts from $99,000
to 1,000,000.
Placements are made by purchasing multiple CDs in $99,000
or 100,000 increments at separately insured issuers. A
detailed tracking system assures that we place no more than
100,000 of your principal in any single financial institution
within the SimpliCD program. SimpliCD purchases the CDs in a
custodial capacity on your behalf, passing all federal
insurance benefits through to you. You remain the legal owner
of the CDs.
SimpliCD tracks, monitors and collects all of your
earnings. Your single, consolidated monthly interest payment
will be directly deposited into your settlement account for
all of your SimpliCD investments. In addition to your daily
transaction statements, SimpliCD provides you with one monthly
statement that details your entire SimpliCD portfolio.
SimpliCD is a convenient way to maximize your return with
minimum effort. You’ll achieve higher yields than alternative
investments without the hassle, time and expense of
investigating potential issuers, purchasing the CDs, and
tracking the activity yourself. When you start investing
through SimpliCD, your life gets less complicated.
No more phone calls to multiple
issuers to find competitive rates
No more multiple wire transfers to
purchase multiple CDs
Flexible terms and amounts that fit
into your investment strategy
Free third-party performance reviews
on SimpliCD issuers that help you make more informed
investment decisions
Single transaction settlement with no
transaction fees
Consolidated monthly reports for
easier accounting and auditing
The security of investing with
federally insured institutions
Compare SimpliCD to other methods of purchasing jumbo CDs.
With SimpliCD there are no annual fees, wire fees or
transaction fees, the rates are very competitive, you need
only to complete one agreement and one corporate resolution at
the time you sign up ---- no matter how many different issuers
you purchase from, and your investments are conveniently
consolidated on one monthly statement.
SimpliCD also has an “issuing” side of the program, which
makes raising deposits for your credit union from a national
network of investors quick and efficient.
Securities Safekeeping:
Tricorp provides members with a full custodial service for
securities and certificates while adhering to safety
provisions outlined by the NCUA. Virtually any security is
eligible for the program – negotiable and non-negotiable. By
working with the vast corporate credit union network, credit
unions take advantage of the network’s ability to settle
securities efficiently.
Together with U.S. Central CU we provide complete support and
service for the program.
