CDARS^®

CDARS^® is the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service^®. It is the easiest and most convenient way to enjoy full FDIC unsurance on deposit amounts larger than $100,000. There are few guarantees in life – FDIC insurance is one of them. CDARS can be a valuable cash management or longer-term investment tool for you or your business.

Why CDARS?
It's one-stop shopping. With CDARS we can offer you significant benefits like:

Safety - Your money can receive up to $15 million in FDIC Insurance coverage.

CD-Level Rates - Your money earns CD-level returns, which may compare favorably with other investment alternatives, including Treasuries, corporate sweep accounts, and money market mutual funds.

Convenience - You work directly with Champlain National Bank. You earn one interest rate and receive one regular statement from us, so you can forget about multiple rate negotiations and the need to consolodate multiple disbursement checks. Private investors receive one year-end tax form.

Community investment - The full value of your money can support local lending opportunities. The money you deposit is invested back into the North Country to support your community.

How does CDARS work?
We are members of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we place your funds into certificates of deposit issued by other banks in the network – in increments of less than $100,000 – so that both your principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. With help from a sophisticated matching system, we exchange deposits with other banks that are members of the network.

These exchanges, which occur on a dollar-for-dollar basis, can bring the full amount of your original deposit back to our bank. As a result, we can make the full amount of your deposit available for community lending purposes.

What else should you know?

Now, you no longer need to run around opening multiple accounts at multiple banks, managing various interest rates, organizing interest disbursements from various sources, or manually consolidating monthly statements. This reduces your administrative burden, especially during tax and financial reporting seasons.

And with CDARS, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values – another time saving convenience.

Of course, your confidential account information remains protected.
