Managing Deposit Security

The South Dakota State Treasurer acts as one of a two-member commission which supervises the insuring of all public funds. Depositories of public funds must pledge 100% of the funds to secure them. These pledged securities are secured by a custodian bank for the State Treasurer and assures the public that there will be no loss of funds in the event of failure of the institution.

Under the column of adequacy of collateral if that figure has parenthesis around it, it means that particular bank was under pledged for that quarter.
