Banks push retail repurchase programs to rival money funds
AP notes banks and savings institutions are rolling out retail repurchase programs to lure savers amid high rates. These plans sell government-securities portfolios with a buyback, not deposits, lacking FDIC insurance, and carry 1 to 89 day terms with $1,000 to $3,000 minimums. Regulators urge clear disclosures to avoid investor misperceptions.
