The FDIC Deposit Sweep Program systematically allocates your cash across multiple program banks to ensure your money is protected. For example, a deposit of $500,000 to an individually registered Fidelity Cash Management Account will be spread across three program banks: $245,000 will be swept to the first two program banks each, and $10,000 is swept into a third program bank. Sweeping only $245,000 rather than the respective FDIC coverage limit of $250,000 helps to ensure that any accrued (unpaid) interest is also protected by FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage. Under this example, a subsequent deposit of an additional $50,000 will be automatically swept into the third program bank.
