The Bank Plan is sponsored by the State of Arizona and administered by the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education (ACPE). College Savings Bank, a Division of NexBank SSB (CSB) serves as Program Manager for the Bank Plan. CSB as a Program Manager, supports all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the Bank Plan, including marketing, recordkeeping and administrative support. The Bank Plan offers CDs and a Savings Account. CDs may be subject to early withdrawal penalties.
If you are not an Arizona taxpayer, consider before investing whether your or the beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in that state’s qualified tuition program. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision. In addition, you should periodically assess, and if appropriate, adjust your 529 plan investment choices with your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment objectives in mind.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) generally insures, with respect to each FDIC-insured institution, deposit accounts that are held in the same right and capacity up to the maximum amount set by federal law, currently $250,000. An account owner’s interest in the insurable balance of a Bank Plan account is insured by the FDIC on a pass-through basis to each account owner up to the maximum amount. Under applicable FDIC regulations, accounts that have the same owner will be deemed to be held in the same right and capacity and will be combined for purposes of the $250,000 limitation. Interest that accrues on a Fixed Rate CD or CollegeSure Honors Savings Account is also covered by FDIC deposit insurance, subject to these same limitations.
