Request for Proposals

General Banking Services

Introduction

The City of Cayce invites qualified financial institutions to submit proposals to provide banking services to the City based upon the scope of work contained in the Request for Proposals.

The City seeks to obtain a financial institution to administer the City’s general banking, deposit and custody operations in order to further the following objectives: streamline cash handling, enhance funds availability, increase use of technology to reduce costs and become more efficient at treasury management.

The City’s intent is to select a financial institution to provide the requested services listed within the RFP’s scope of work. Our goal is to consolidate all services into one institution, except that of a lockbox service, which may be awarded to a secondary bank if it is in the best interest of the City. The scope of work may include, but is not limited to, general account services, information reporting, reconciliation, electronic fund transfers, positive pay, controlled disbursement, returned items processing, image capture, lockbox services, investment services, electronic receipt and payment platforms and credit cards for City purchases. The City expects the successful financial institution to review interest rates and Earnings Credit Rates available to the City at least once per quarter.
