The term Sweep Accounts generally
refers to contractual, automated transfers of funds by insured
depository institutions from a deposit account to a non-deposit
account or investment vehicle. The FDIC is adopting new regulations
requiring institutions, with regard to sweep account contracts and
account statements reflecting sweep account balances, to
prominently disclose whether swept funds are deposits within the
meaning of 12 U.S.C. 1813(l). If the funds are not deposits, the
institution must further disclose the status such funds would have
if the institution failed--for example, general creditor status or
secured creditor status.
