Product updates

Enhanced FDIC Insurance

Treasury Prime, in collaboration with our bank partners, is pleased to announce the launch of our deposit sweeps product, Enhanced FDIC Deposit Insurance. Enhanced FDIC Insurance distributes funds across a deposit sweep network, thereby enabling you to offer FDIC insurance coverage up to tens of millions of dollars for all end-customer accounts.

Enhanced FDIC Insurance arrives at the heels of our recently announced multibank product, Treasury Prime OneKey Banking, which enables companies to partner with multiple banks and can help establish redundancies and distribute risk among bank partners. Combined, deposit sweeps and OneKey Banking provide organizations managing large deposits a full suite of FDIC insurance maximization, redundancy, and business continuity planning tools.

Enhanced FDIC Insurance is live and available at multiple bank partners. Contact us to learn more.

Enterprise Compliance Toolkit in Dashboard

We’re pleased to debut an enhanced Enterprise Compliance Toolkit, with a new repository of compliance-focused guides, best practices, and other resources available in the Treasury Prime Developer Dashboard. Understanding that regulatory compliance is a complex subject that touches many parts of an embedded banking business, we have created written reference guides to help contextualize how banking laws and regulations can impact the day to day operations of financial technology and embedded finance. The Enterprise Compliance Toolkit is designed to help you navigate the process of standing up a compliance program commensurate with your risk profile and to empower you to establish sound processes that correspond to the scope of your operations alongside your bank partners.

Within the Enterprise Compliance Toolkit you will find comprehensive guides and resources based on proven best practices including:

Partner Due Diligence Checklist*
Policies and Procedures Checklist*
Introduction to Regulation E and Cardholder Disputes
Cardholder Dispute Notification Templates
Cardholder Disputes FAQ
Consumer Disclosures and Marketing Best Practices
Treasury Prime’s Risk Assessment Approach
ACH Disputes

Rooted in Treasury Prime’s strong banking heritage, these resources are aimed to help both early stage and established organizations more seamlessly operationalize traditional regulatory requirements as it relates to products and services offered through BaaS channels while identifying a framework for bank partners as they look to grow and oversee its respective fintech portfolio. In an effort to smooth the onboarding process, we’ve made the Partner Due Diligence Checklist publicly available—you can access it through the Sandbox Developer Dashboard.

The complete Enterprise Compliance Toolkit is available to customers in the Developer Dashboard.

*While the actual diligence requirements vary bank to bank, the reference guides create an overarching framework that companies can leverage as they look to launch or transition business to a new partner bank.

Push-to-card

Push-to-card transactions enable funds to be sent, or "pushed" to eligible Treasury Prime card-based accounts. This unlocks popular P2P functionality such as receiving payments via platforms like Venmo and Cash App. Push-to-card can also be used for B2C transactions such as refunds in which businesses push payments to eligible Treasury Prime card holders.

With push-to-card, funds can arrive faster than with standard ACH transactions. This is because push-to-card transactions run on payment network rails and are processed like standard card purchases. Funds are received instantly upon authorization of the card transaction.

View account_id in the Transaction Object

We now surface the account_id field in the transaction object which enables you to view the ID of the account associated with any given transaction. To view the account ID associated with a transaction, make a GET call to /transaction/:id endpoint with a valid transaction ID.

This update is available to ledger customers.

On-Demand Webinars

Managing Risk with Enhanced FDIC Insurance

Recent bank failures have shined a light on the FDIC Deposit Insurance program, which was created in the aftermath of the Great Depression as a way to protect both consumers and restore credibility and legitimacy in the U.S. banking system. Almost a hundred years after its inception, FDIC insurance coverage is just as relevant now as it was in the 1930s. In our latest webinar, we discuss how Treasury Prime’s new product, Enhanced FDIC Insurance — which is offered in collaboration with partner banks — can extend FDIC Insurance from $250,000 to tens of millions, benefiting banks and fintechs alike.
