CEO Corner

By Jon Evans

On October 3, 2018, FRB Board Governor Lael Brainard provided remarks on the faster payments initiative which is being undertaken by the Federal Reserve System and the private sector.  Her remarks were supportive of a faster payments environment in which payments are executed in real time on a 24 x 7 x 365 basis.  While her remarks were positive, there was little in the way of updates on a framework solution or the role the Federal Reserve System would play.
 
The Federal Reserve has requested comments relative to the faster payments initiative – Potential Federal Reserve Actions to Support Interbank Settlement of Faster Payments (12CFR Chapter 11, Docket No. OP-1625).  The request basically covers two areas.  First, should the Fed develop a service for real time gross settlement of faster payments on a 24 x 7 x 365 basis and / or  what potential actions should the Fed take to support the initiative?  Second, should the Fed provide a liquidity management tool that meets the industry’s needs?

Earnings Credit Rate


During 2018 ACBB adopted a new pricing philosophy for its Earnings Credit Rate for shareholders. In previous years, ACBB, like most correspondent banks, paid an Earnings Credit Rate lower than the Federal Reserve’s Fed Funds Target Rate, keeping a small pricing differential between its DDA, Fed Funds and EBA offerings. Around June of this year with the Fed poised for additional rate hikes, ACBB changed that approach to price its Earning Credit Rate at the Fed Funds Target Rate making it our highest yielding investment option. We intend to maintain this pricing approach for the foreseeable future providing a current Earnings Credit Rate of 2.25% for shareholders and 2.00% for non-shareholders.

On a daily basis, your available DDA balance accrues earnings credits used to offset your monthly service charges, lowering your operating expenses. Earnings credits in excess of your monthly service charges roll over to the following month reducing the risk of losing accrued credits.
Your ACBB DDA remains a safe place to invest your additional liquidity at great rate! Plus, it gives you the liquidity flexibility you need while helping you reduce your operating expenses.

If you have any questions regarding the Earnings Credit Rate or any of ACBB’s overnight investment products, please contact your Relationship Manager or our Client Care group.
