Protect your hard-earned money while enjoying the personalized service and support 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.

How it works

Western State Bank is part of the IntraFi® network of banks, which is why we're able to offer these programs.

If you have an account with a balance over $250,000, these programs allow you to:

  • Divide your funds into amounts that meet or are lower than the $250,000 FDIC limit
  • Take full advantage of FDIC insurance across all of your funds
  • Receive only one statement
  • Continue to work with Western as your primary bank

  • Information privacy: Both of these programs comply with all FDIC requirements. Your confidential information is not shared with the ICS® and CDARS® bank network.
