ATLANTA, Jan. 6, 2015 – CetoLogic, a leading provider of software and analytics for financial institutions and retailers, continues to see strong market adoption of its Deposit Reclassification retail sweep solution moving into 2015, signing four new financial institution clients including Biddeford, Maine-based Biddeford Savings Bank; Carlinville, Ill.-based CNB Bank & Trust, N.A.; Baytown, Texas-based Community Resource Credit Union; and Edina, Minn.-based Tradition Capital Bank.
CetoLogic’s Deposit Reclassification reduces reserve balance requirements by reclassifying checking accounts into savings deposits, enabling low-earning and non-liquid funds previously held at the Federal Reserve to become available for loans and other higher yield investments opportunities – creating an additional and permanent revenue stream for financial institutions.
“CetoLogic’s Deposit Reclassification solution will enable us to reclaim our $6 million reserve balance from the Fed, converting these idle funds into liquid assets that we can leverage for more meaningful investment opportunities,” said Maureen Oswald, senior vice president of Operations and Cashier for CNB Bank & Trust, N.A. “Additionally, leveraging CetoLogic’s Deposit Reclassification to reduce our reserve balance better positions our institution to meet our growing loan demand while preparing for a potential increase in borrowing costs.”
Compliant with Regulation D and Federal Reserve Bank requirements, financial institutions such as Community Resource Credit Union can also leverage CetoLogic’s Deposit Reclassification to maintain Regulation D compliance while providing members greater account flexibility, without fearing penalties for exceeding monthly money transfer limits.
“As interest rates rise in the coming months, so will borrowing costs. It is prudent to access all funding sources today in preparation of change for tomorrow,” said David Austin, vice president of CetoLogic. “Deposit Reclassification is a cost beneficial way to access an additional source of liquidity on a permanent and recurring basis to maximize the margin realized on loans or other investments.”
