Raymond James cash sweep programs
Raymond James Bank Deposit Program for affiliated bank clients
Raymond James offers a multibank sweep program that:
- Provides Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage
- Offers competitive interest rates.
With the program, available cash in your brokerage account is deposited into interest-bearing deposit accounts at one or more banks, as described in the “bank priority lists” section below.
You Should Know: Bank deposit program capacity limits
As a result of current market conditions, some banks participating in the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program are no longer accepting new cash deposits through the bank deposit program. Because of this, any new deposits into the program may only be eligible for FDIC insurance coverage up to $250,000, rather than the full program limit of $2.5 million per account.
For eligible accounts, we recommend you request excess cash balances be directed to our Client Interest Program so that you can take advantage of additional account protection offered through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and excess SIPC. For more information, or if you have questions related to your cash deposits, please contact your financial advisor.
Effective 3/21/2011
The Raymond James Bank Deposit Program has been enhanced to provide additional insurance coverage on cash balances that exceed available FDIC coverage and are eligible for the Client Interest Program.
- By default, for all accounts except Raymond James custodial retirement accounts, excess cash from the bank deposit program will be directed to the Raymond James Client Interest Program (CIP), providing not only FDIC insurance coverage, but also coverage provided by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and excess SIPC. Interest rates will remain the same between the bank deposit program and CIP, and as always, funds are immediately available for withdrawal or reinvestment.
- For Raymond James custodial retirement accounts, which are ineligible for the Client Interest Program, excess funds will be directed to a designated “excess bank” without limit and without regard to maximum-available FDIC coverage. This option is also available to non-retirement accounts upon request.

How the priority lists work
Raymond James establishes contracts with multiple banks, which are included in one or more bank priority lists. Your account’s legal address of record determines which list is used to determine the order in which your available cash in your brokerage account will be deposited into interest-bearing deposit accounts at one or more of the banks set forth on the predetermined list.
If your cash balance exceeds the FDIC insurance limit for all funds at the first bank on the list, the excess cash will be deposited in the next bank. If you still have excess cash, those funds will be deposited in the third bank Raymond James has designated. This process continues through all banks on the priority list, providing FDIC coverage up to $2.5 million, or $5 million for joint accounts. As always, you have immediate access to your funds should you wish to withdraw or reinvest them.
Your priority list may also include one or more excess banks that will accept funds from retirement accounts without limit and without regard to the maximum applicable deposit insurance amount if all banks on the priority list have received funds up to the applicable deposit limit. If all your funds are withdrawn from an excess bank, the next time your funds are available for deposit in an excess bank they may be deposited in a different excess bank. This may also apply to certain non-retirement accounts that do not elect to have excess funds swept to the Raymond James Client Interest Program, as described below.
For non-retirement accounts, if all banks on the priority list have received your funds up to the applicable deposit limit, your next available funds will be deposited in the Raymond James Client Interest Program (and covered by SIPC/Excess SIPC insurance), as long as you have not opted for an alternative.
The deposit insurance coverage limits refer to the total of all deposits that an account holder has in the same ownership categories at each FDIC-insured institution. Visit fdic.gov for more information.
