Those bank assets, known as “due from bank deposits” or “correspondent bank balances,” are a part of the primary, uninvested funds of every bank. A transfer of funds between banks may result from the collection of cash items and cash letters, the transfer and settlement of securities transactions, the transfer of participating loan funds, the purchase or sale of federal funds, and from many other causes. Banks also utilize other banks to provide certain services which can be performed more economically or efficiently by the other banks because of their size or geographic location. Such services include processing of cash letters, packaging loan agreements, funding overline loan requests of customers, performing EDP and payroll services, collecting out of area items, exchanging foreign currency, and providing financial advice in specialized loan areas. When the service is one-way, the bank receiving that service usually maintains a minimum balance that acts as a compensating balance in full or partial payment for the services received.
