Liquidity Management
Fifth Third offers multiple automated solutions to support your liquidity management needs.
Our solutions are designed to help your business maximize earnings potential, provide FDIC coverage for your deposits and protect you from overdrafts, while meeting your daily cash flow needs. Accounts and services include IntraFi Insured Cash Sweep (ICS), Zero Balance Accounts (ZBA) and other Sweep Account options.
Your liquidity management accounts and services will transition to Fifth Third on September 8, 2026. Note: If you have a Sweep to Investment (Money Market Mutual Fund) at Comerica, you should have been contacted about selecting an alternative solution prior to August 3, 2026, since this investment option will no longer be available.
