The term ÂSweep Accounts generally refers to contractual, automated transfers of funds by insured depository institutions from a deposit account to a non-deposit account or investment vehicle. The FDIC is adopting new regulations requiring institutions, with regard to sweep account contracts and account statements reflecting sweep account balances, to prominently disclose whether swept funds are deposits within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. 1813(l). If the funds are not deposits, the institution must further disclose the status such funds would have if the institution failed--for example, general creditor status or secured creditor status.
