Business Transaction + Sweep
Don’t let your cash sit idle. Our sweeps service takes everyday balance management to the next level by automatically sweeping (moving) excess balances daily from your Northwest Bank & Trust Company transaction account to a securitized interest-bearing account.
*No charge if earnings credit on investable balance exceeds charge. The bank will compute an average investable balance by the deduction of a reserve requirement and the daily average uncollected funds for the statement period from the ledger balance. The result is the investable balance on which an earnings credit is computed. The net service charge appears on the bank statement.
