High-Balance Deposits

Protect your business or public funds while enjoying the personalized business banking support and service you always receive from Western State Bank. For balances higher than the $250,000 FDIC limit, we offer*:

Certificate of Deposit Account Registry (CDARS®)
Insured Cash Service (ICS®)

Using these programs lets you easily secure your funds in multiple FDIC-insured accounts with participating financial institutions, while still working directly with Western. That means you get the peace of mind you want with the excellent service you deserve.

Continue to work with Western as your primary bank
