Analysis Checking Options

Item Count Analysis
Item Count Analysis is a checking account option designed for businesses that routinely receive and write a large number of checks. This account is available to any business. Item Count Analysis provides complete details of all charges for business accounts and related services. Monthly statements illustrate how account activity and related service charges may be offset by an Earnings Credit Allowance* based on the average balance held in the account.

Corporate Sweep Analysis
The Corporate Sweep Analysis Account is designed for the larger corporate customer and provides automatic cash management of funds by utilizing retail repurchase agreements (or REPOs). REPOS are short-term debt obligations of the bank. REPOS are not FDIC-insured but are collateralized by U.S. securities, which are fully guaranteed by the United States or one of its agencies. With no FDIC maximum insurance guidelines, the corporate customer is able to maintain secured balances in excess of $100,000.

The Corporate Sweep Account is two accounts in one. It combines the features of a Business Checking Account with the investment features of a Commercial Investment Account. A "target" balance is established for the Business Checking Account. The "target" balance should be a reflection of the daily operating needs plus an amount necessary to offset fees associated with analysis. The "target" balance is used to trigger automated transfers ("sweeps") to and from the Corporate Sweep Investment Account.

This account is analyzed monthly and assessed fees as described in the fee schedule. The higher the balances, the fewer the fees. A Corporate Sweep Account agreement is required.

Pinnacle Analysis
Vantus has created a special account specifically for non-profit organizations. The Pinnacle Analysis account simplifies the bookkeeping process, saves money on fees, and pays an excellent rate of interest.

No longer will it be necessary to transfer funds between checking and savings accounts because Pinnacle Analysis combines the advantages of checking and savings into just one account! Pinnacle Analysis offers a terrific rate of interest so the funds are always earning a great return. This account is re-priced monthly at a rate equal to the 90-day rate on U.S. Treasury bills.

Pinnacle Analysis is analyzed monthly and assessed fees as described in the fee schedule. No earnings credit applies. Interest is earned on all balances.
