History

The company was founded by a number of former federal banking regulators, and BNY Mellon provides issuance, custody, settlement, and recordkeeping services for IntraFi.[3][4] IntraFi was included in the Washington Post's list of Top Workplaces 2018.[5][6] The company was also ranked first as the best place to work for in fintech by American Banker, in 2018 and 2021.[7]

The Cofounder and CEO of the company is Mark Jacobsen, a former chief of staff of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and inventor of 13 patents related to IntraFi's FDIC-insured deposit placement services.[8][9] The company changed its name to IntraFi Network in 2020.[10]

Products

IntraFi offers FDIC-insured deposit placement services, including IntraFi Network Deposits and IntraFi Funding. These services combined the company's former offerings: Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS; Insured Cash Sweep service, or ICS; and the Insured Network Deposits service, or IND.[11] IntraFi also publishes a quarterly business outlook survey of banks.[12] IntraFi's services help bank depositors to access FDIC insurance above the $250,000 limit through a single bank relationship. As Reuters has noted, IntraFi's services "rose in popularity during the 2008 financial crisis. Money is spread around in chunks across a network of 'well-capitalized' banks, with maturities of four weeks to five years." In some cases, however, the yields are lower than those on CDs and money market accounts.[13]
