Jumbo Money Market FAQs
How is the Jumbo Money Market different than Desert Financial’s tiered money market account?
The Jumbo Money Market is designed for balances of at least $100,000 and offers a higher rate than our tiered money market product. Balances deposited into this account participate in a Demand Deposit Marketplace (“DDM”)3 product, in which funds may be swept to other insured financial institutions. You remain in control of your money at Desert Financial while enjoying a great rate!
Are my deposits in a Jumbo Money Market federally insured?
Yes! While your funds are on deposit at Desert Financial, you’ll benefit from share insurance through the NCUA. Once funds are swept to another insured institution, your deposits will be insured by the FDIC (for banks) or NCUA (for credit unions). You are insured up to $250,000 for an individual account.
You may be eligible for additional share insurance depending on your account ownership type. If you’d like more information about share or deposit insurance, please review the resources below or ask a representative.
FDIC provides “EDIE The Estimator,” an electronic insurance calculation program, which is found at https://www.fdic.gov/edie/index.html. Other information regarding FDIC insurance coverage may be found at the FDIC’s Consumer Resource Center section of their website at https://www.fdic.gov/resources/consumers/index.html.
NCUA also provides the “NCUA Share Insurance Estimator,” an electronic insurance calculation program, which is found at https://mycreditunion.gov/share-insurance-estimator-home. Other information regarding NCUA insurance coverage may be found at the “Share Insurance Coverage” section of the “Consumers” menu option on the NCUA’s website at https://mycreditunion.gov/share-insurance .
How does the sweep work?
We may sweep all or a portion of your deposits to a participating insured financial institution as part of the program. You’ll continue to see your balances at Desert Financial within Online Banking and on your statements. You’ll continue to receive your tax forms from Desert Financial and you can contact us with any questions about your account.
Where are the funds being swept to?
Your funds may be swept to participating financial institutions selected by Desert Financial. A current list of financial institutions that we may sweep to is available above.
What if I already have funds at a financial institution on the list of participating institutions?
For purposes of share or deposit insurance only, program deposits will be combined with any non-program deposits you may have at participating institutions. If you’re concerned about share or deposit insurance, please speak with a representative who can help make sure you are covered.
What if my total balance falls below $100,000?
If the total balance in your Jumbo Money Market is less than $100,000, you won’t be charged a low-balance fee. However, you won’t earn any dividends until your balance is back to at least $100,000.
How does this affect my everyday experience as a member?
It doesn’t! You’ll still be able to see your full balance in Online Banking, on the mobile app and on your statements. You’ll continue to have full access to your funds.
