At STAR, we work to make banking easier for you, so, what if all of your accounts automatically deposited into one account...without having to keep an eye on them? We offer a variety of sweep options that will help you manage your assets.


Sweep to Line of Credit

Our Sweep to Line service helps optimize your day-to-day cash management by establishing an automated link between your business checking account and your line of credit. The Sweep to Line service automatically keeps your commercial checking account at the target balance you select and pays down or advances funds from your line of credit to meet daily cash needs. Benefits include:

  • Maximum cost savings and convenience
  • Complete automation
  • Superior account reporting 

Zero Balance Account (ZBA)

After deposits and checks are presented for the day, an automatic transfer initiates, sweeping excess funds to or pulling funds from a master account to restore all sub-accounts to a zero balance. It is a cost-effective way to concentrate deposits and fund disbursements by establishing sub-accounts and target balances for each account.

Full and Partial Account Reconciliation services save you time and money by automating many of your reconciliation activities and providing flexible reporting options to best suit your needs. 

  • Enjoy customized service. With optional reports, flexible sorting and subtotalling, and a variety of input and output media, you can easily adapt the Account Reconciliation Plan (ARP) service to meet your company's operational needs.
