A bank deposit sweep product is a sweep feature that automatically transfers ("sweeps”) any free balances from your brokerage account into deposit accounts at one or more FDIC member banks as applicable, intended to provide daily interest on cash balances. The goal is to keep customers’ assets working intended to provide an investment return in a conservative and efficient manner.
