Savings cash

Grow your savings cash for large near-term expenses, unexpected life events or as an emergency fund. With no market or liquidity risk, UBS Bank USA Core Savings (UBS Core Savings) can help you keep your long-term investment strategy on track with the safety of FDIC insurance up to applicable limits while earning competitive yields. (For more information on FDIC insurance see footnote 2.)  You’ll enjoy more flexibility than term deposits, with up to five withdrawals per month. Thereafter, a $25 fee per withdrawal applies, or liquidation of the entire UBS Core Savings balance will apply, depending on your account type (applicable fees may reduce earnings).  To withdraw funds, visit UBS Online Services or simply call your Financial Advisor.4 Review the UBS Core Savings Disclosure Statement for additional details.

Investment cash

Generally speaking, investment cash is left untouched for a specified term to enjoy higher rates, which may carry additional market/credit risks and fees. Investment cash is typically used as part of your asset allocation and can include cash and cash alternatives, such as Certificates of Deposit.
