Part B - Capital Treasury Account (CTA) and Excess Fiduciary Account (EFA)

These terms are in addition to “Part A - the General Terms of Business in respect of our banking services”.    In the event of any conflict between this Part B, and Part A, the terms of this Part B shall prevail.

  • Clause 3.10 e) shall be read as if the fourth sentence ends “… (including from CCA, CTA, Notice Accounts, Fixed Term and Fiduciary Deposit Accounts). “

2.    Capital Treasury Account (CTA)

a)    The CTA is designed for clients who anticipate a need to make or receive payments the value of which would exceed the Deposit Limit (as referred to in 2.1 e) in Part A).   It is a pre-condition of opening a CTA that you also open an EFA – see section 3 below.

b)    Whilst there is no intraday limit to the amount of funds you may hold in your CTAs, in order to manage our liquidity in accordance with our regulatory requirements you understand and agree:  

  • that there is a cut off time for inward and outward payments as detailed in the Product Schedules from time to time.  Please note that these cut off times are earlier in the day than standard cut off times for CCAs. 
  • that at the cut off time your account balances will stand at zero.

c)    It is your responsibility to monitor your account balances and it is your responsibility to transfer out such amount as is required to ensure the balances stand at zero at the cut off time. Such transfer as may be required can be made either: -  

  • to another bank of your choice or
  • to your CCA (within the Deposit Limit), EFA, CFA or BFA; the terms and conditions relating to the CFA and BFA are to be found in Parts C and D of these terms and conditions. 

d)      If you do not reduce your CTA to zero by the cut off time, in accordance with the CTA Mandate which you have granted to us, we will transfer such amount as is necessary to your EFA maintained with a Recipient Bank or Banks in order to bring your CTA balances to zero. 

e)    It is your responsibility to transfer funds from your EFA to the CTA for the purposes of outward payments or foreign currency transactions. In the event that outward payments have not been processed immediately prior to the cut-off, 2 c) and d) of this Part B will apply to the CTA balance. 

f)     Prior to the cut-off each day you will also be able to transfer funds 

  • between your CFA or BFA and your CTA 
  • between your CTA and your CCA 

provided that 2 c) and d) of this Part B will apply.

In the event of inward payments received after the cut-off time, we reserve the right to revalue such payments to the next available value date.

g)    Any transaction costs or charges incurred in connection with transactional activity will be levied in the transaction currency and applied to the currency account from which the transaction was initiated on the day that they are incurred.

h)    Interest, where applicable, will be calculated daily at our prevailing published rates and will be applied on the last Business Day of each month.

‍

3.    Excess Fiduciary Accounts (EFA)

a)    It is a precondition of these EFAs that you have first opened a CTA.

b)    EFAs are fiduciary deposit accounts designed to permit us to place your funds at our discretion with one or more Recipient Banks.  The aim is to reduce your exposure to us and your risk in each EFA will be to the Recipient Bank(s) only.  The EFA provides daily access to funds without the need to give advance notice for any transfers to CTA accounts (in line with published cut off times which please note are earlier in the day than standard cut off times for CCAs).  No near cash instruments will be used in the exercise of this discretion.

c)     Whilst there is no limit to the amount of funds you may hold we reserve the right to pass any charges raised by Recipient Banks should the balances held at the year-end exceed the average balance maintained.

d)    Further details of the accounts and specific terms which apply to them from time to time including any fees to be charged together with a list of Recipient Banks are to be found in our Product Schedules which are available on the Website and may be amended by us from time to time.

e)    The Recipient Banks are not entitled to combine a fiduciary deposit account with any other account of ours or to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim against funds in that account in respect of any debt owed by us to the Recipient Bank.

f)     The fiduciary deposits are placed with the Recipient Banks in our name (as agent). Fiduciary deposits are not held on our balance sheet; they are held as a deposit through us and are placed at your sole risk with the Recipient Bank(s).  

g)    In particular: - 

  • These accounts cannot be used as Transactional Accounts – that is you cannot use these accounts to facilitate direct day to day inward or outgoing payments to or from your EFA – this can only be done via your CTAs (in line with cut off times).   
  • To place funds in these accounts you must do so via Velta and have the necessary funds in your CTA.
  • To make a withdrawal from these accounts you must complete a withdrawal instruction via Velta.
  • Subject to deadline cut-off times of both ourselves and our Recipient Banks, funds will be returned to your CTA on the same day as the withdrawal instruction.
  • Interest, where applicable, will be calculated daily at our prevailing published rates and will be applied in line with interest application dates operated by the Recipient Banks.
  • In the event that negative interest rates are applicable to an EFA, a minimum balance may be required to be held in order for negative interest to be applied.  In addition, if insufficient funds are held to cover any negative interest applied, we reserve the right to fund this by creation of an overdrawn position in a CCA of yours.

h)    By opening an EFA and agreeing to these Terms of Business full authority to place your funds at our absolute discretion with the Recipient Banks. 

i)      Your funds may be pooled with funds of other EFA clients in the same deposit held with the Recipient Banks.

j)      In the event of default by a Recipient Bank all EFA clients assume their pro rata portion of credit risk and liquidity risk to the Recipient Bank.            

k)     Under the terms of the fiduciary deposit account products, we will not reimburse you for any losses due to a credit default of Recipient Banks or provide liquidity in the event a Recipient Bank defaults on liquidity.     

l)      The fiduciary deposits are segregated from all the other funds that we hold.  In the event that we are unable to repay our clients that hold deposits directly with us, and providing there is no credit or liquidity default by the Correspondent Banks, the Excess Fiduciary Deposits will be returned to the EFA clients pro rata their portion of the total account.

 

Part C - Capital Fiduciary Accounts (CFAs)

 These terms are in addition to “Part A - the General Terms of Business in respect of our banking services” and “Part B – Capital Treasury Account (CTA) and Excess Fiduciary Account (EFA)”.  In the event of any conflict between this Part C, and Parts A and B, the terms of this Part C shall prevail.

It is a precondition of these CFA accounts that you have first opened a CTA and an EFA.

a)    The CFAs are fiduciary deposit accounts and are designed to permit us to place your funds with a number of recipient banks in a pool of banks or financial institutions with whom we generally do business and which may or may not be located in the Isle of Man (“Recipient Banks”). The aim is to reduce your exposure to us and may (but is not guaranteed to) achieve diversification of risk for you.  No near cash instruments will be used in the exercise of this discretion. 

b)    The term ‘Fiduciary Deposit’ covers all variants of the CFA; full details of the accounts and specific terms which apply to them from time to time including any fees to be charged together with a list of Recipient Banks are to be found in our Product Schedules which are available on the Website and may be amended by us from time to time.

c)     The Recipient Bank is not entitled to combine a fiduciary deposit account with any other account of ours or to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim against funds in that account in respect of any debt owed by us to the Recipient Bank.

d)    The Fiduciary Deposits are placed with Recipient Banks in our name (as agent).  Fiduciary Deposits are not on held our balance sheet; they are held as a deposit through us and are placed at your sole risk with the Recipient Bank(s).   

e)    The following terms apply to all CFAs: - 

  • These accounts cannot be used as Transactional Accounts – that is you cannot use these accounts to facilitate direct day to day payments to or receipts from third parties – this can only be done via your CTAs.   
  • To place funds in your CFAs you must do so via Velta Secure Messages and have the necessary funds in your CTA.
  • To make a withdrawal from any of these accounts you must:
  • complete a withdrawal instruction via Velta Secure Messages; and
  • give us the relevant number of days’ notice of the withdrawal (pertinent to the account type) starting on the date we receive the withdrawal request.
  • Any instructions received via Velta are treated as being placed by individuals authorised to act in this capacity. 
  • Subject to notice periods and deadline cut-off times per our Product Schedules, funds will be returned to your CTA upon the completion of the notice period.  Please note that these cut off times are earlier in the day that standard cut off times for CCAs.
  • Interest, where applicable, will be calculated daily at our prevailing published rates and will be applied on the last Business Day of each month.
  • In the event that negative interest rates are applicable to a CFA, a minimum balance may be required to be held in order for negative interest to be applied at the end of the month.  In addition, if insufficient funds are held to cover any negative interest applied, we reserve the right to funds this by creation of an overdrawn position in any CCA or CTA of yours and you hereby agree to the same.
  • We will debit commissions relating to the CFA (as detailed in the Product Schedules) when charged from an associated CCA.  Commissions will be calculated on a daily basis and debited monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month.   We will charge you VAT or comparable sales taxes where law or regulations require us to do so.
  • Funds kept in a CFA may not be accessible, in full or in part, until expiry of the notice period. This may not be suitable for you if you need to access any of your funds during the term.  Details can be found in the Product Schedule.  

f)     By opening a CFA and in agreeing to these Terms of Business you give us full authority on a discretionary basis to utilise any of the Recipient Banks for this purpose. 

g)    Your funds may be pooled with funds of other CFA clients in the same deposit held with the Recipient Bank.  All clients for each CFA Deposit Type are allocated the same pro rata exposure to each counterparty being used to manage client funds of that deposit type, as their pro rata holding of funds in that deposit type. This results in all clients, for each CFA deposit type, having the same level of counterparty diversification at any point in time.

h)    In the event of a Recipient Bank default, that portion of the CFA pool of funds will be segregated from the remaining CFA Recipient Bank funds, with all CFA depositors of the relevant CFA deposit types affected retaining the same proportion of these funds as they did just before the event of default. This is to ensure all CFA clients (by CFA deposit type) assume their pro rata portion of credit risk and liquidity risk to each Recipient Bank. 

i)      Under the terms of the fiduciary deposit account products, we will not reimburse you for any losses due to a credit default of Recipient Banks or provide liquidity in the event a Recipient Bank defaults on liquidity.

j)      The Fiduciary Deposits are segregated from all the other funds that we hold.  In the event that we are unable to repay our clients that hold deposits directly with us, and providing there is no credit or liquidity default by the Recipient Banks, the Fiduciary Deposits will be returned to the CFA clients pro rata in accordance with the respective terms of each Fiduciary Deposit account.
