The Supreme Court of Texas has amended the IOLTA rules to require Texas attorneys to place their IOLTA accounts at eligible institutions—those that pay interest rates on IOLTA comparable to rates paid on similarly situated, non-IOLTA accounts. See the current list of eligible banks in Texas. Prime PartnersThe following financial institutions are Prime Partners -- institutions that go above and beyond eligibility requirements to foster the IOLTA Program. These institutions pay the higher of 1) 75.00% or more of the Fed Funds Target Rate; or 2) a minimum of 1.00% on IOLTA accounts and they do not assess service fees on the IOLTA accounts. They are committed to ensuring the success of the IOLTA program and increased funding for legal aid.
