Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Q
    What funds are eligible for the Preferred Savings Program?

    The Preferred Savings Program is available for ‘qualifying cash’ – that is, cash from other financial institutions⁴ and/or proceeds from the sale, income or distribution from securities in your eligible Morgan Stanley brokerage accounts.⁴ Cash currently held in existing Morgan Stanley accounts is not considered qualifying cash.

     

    You can get started with as little as $1,000, with the ability to deposit a maximum of $20,000,000. 

  2. Q
    How do I deposit and withdraw funds?

    Your Morgan Stanley team will work with you to deposit or withdraw funds at your request. Withdrawal requests given to a Morgan Stanley team by 4:00pm ET on a business day will typically be processed the same day.³

  3. Q
    Why should I choose to hold my savings at Morgan Stanley?

    As Morgan Stanley offers clients access to our two banks, you may be eligible for FDIC coverage above and beyond the $250,000 maximum available from a single bank.

     

    How it works:

    • FDIC insurance provides coverage of up to $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category5. Certain conditions must be satisfied.
    • Within the Preferred Savings Program, Morgan Stanley clients can partner with their Morgan Stanley team to allocate deposits across our two FDIC-insured banks - Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (MSPBNA) and/or Morgan Stanley Bank, National Association (MSBNA)
    • For example, a client participating in the Preferred Savings Program individually may hold assets at both banks for a total coverage amount of up to $500,000.
