PURPOSE: Banks have recently faced competitive pressures from money market funds offering services similar to banking services. In response, a new service has been designed by banks; the sweep account which sweeps or pours over into a money market fund. The new service is consistent with the purpose for which state banks are chartered, is offered by national banks and, in the interest of banking competition, should be made available to state banks. This rule provides guidelines for this financial service.
(1) In connection with any customer account, a bank may enter this contract by which the bank agrees that periodically it will review the account and transfer all money in excess of a set minimum balance to repurchase agreements or money market funds. Before entering into this contract with respect to any money market fund, the bank should determine that the fund is administered by a financially responsible concern and in a safe and sound manner.
(2) All transfers to and withdrawals from the money market fund shall be undertaken only upon instructions contained in a written and executed agreement entered into with the customer at the time the account is established or as subsequently amended.
