Escrow Account

An escrow account will be established in the organizing name upon execution of the FNBB Escrow agreement. FNBB will accept subscription agreements and escrow funds from the subscriber and will hold all subscription funds until disbursement as directed by the organization in fulfillment of the terms of the agreement. We will maintain a Subscriber Report that contains a list with each subscriber and the amount of funds and date of deposit in the escrow account.

Processing

Checks received by 2:00 pm local time are credited the same day with next day availability. When checks are returned for any reason to FNBB from the drawer’s financial institution, the amount is debited from the escrow account and returned.

Escrow Reporting

FNBB will provide you access to NetLink, our secure internet-banking platform, to allow you to review account balances and activity on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Account deposits, withdrawals, interest and loan information will be provided.

Insurance Services

Every “In Organization” group should prepare with a simple Director & Officers Liability policy while you move through regulatory approval, escrow funding and bank development processes. Many exposures exist for individuals putting a bank together. FNBB Insurance Agency, LLC specializes in bank insurance policies to fit all stages of the De Novo process and beyond.

Lending Services
