BluCurrent Credit Union Business Sweep Accounts FAQs

Does my business qualify for a business debit card with BluCurrent?

Any business that is an LLC, Sole Proprietor, Corporation (S-Corp or C-Corp), Non-Profit, Partnership, Club, or Public Funds, and is headquartered or has a service location in one of the following counties is eligible: Christian, Greene, Howell, Jasper, Lawrence, Newton, Polk, Stone, Taney, or Webster.

How does a Sweep Account work?

A Sweep Account helps your idle cash earn more interest without sacrificing accessibility. It automatically moves excess cash from your checking account into higher-yielding accounts when your balance gets low. Excess funds above a set threshold automatically transfer to money market or savings accounts, and money moves back to checking when needed for transactions.

What are the benefits of Business Sweep Account?

A Business Sweep Account maximizes the interest your business earns on idle capital while maintaining necessary liquidity for daily operations. It eliminates time-consuming manual transfers and simplifies cash management.

Is a Sweep Account better than a Certificate of Deposit(CD)?

A Sweep Account and a Certificate of Deposit (CD) serve different financial purposes, and the better option depends on a business's cash flow needs and financial goals. A Sweep Account is ideal for businesses that require liquidity and flexibility. In contrast, a CD offers higher interest rates but requires locking in funds for a fixed term, which can be a few months to several years.

When should a business consider using a Sweep Account instead of a traditional checking account?

A Sweep Account may be a good option when a business has excess cash that frequently sits idle. Unlike a Business Checking Account, which typically does not earn interest, a Sweep Account automatically transfers surplus funds into an interest-bearing account. This ensures every dollar works to generate returns.

Why is it called a "Sweep Account" ?

The term "Sweep Account" comes from the automated process of "sweeping" excess funds from a business checking account into an interest-bearing account at the end of each business day.

What types of business accounts does BluCurrent offer?

BluCurrent offers a variety of business accounts that are designed to help you minimize costs, save time, and simplify operations. We offer Business Checking, Savings, Money Market, and Certificates of Deposit (CDs).
