Choose a Prime Partner Bank

The following financial institutions are Prime Partners -- institutions that go above and beyond eligibility requirements to foster the IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts) 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. 

The State Bar of Texas passed a resolution urging support of the Prime Partner program in January 2011.

You can help by doing one the following:
  1. Bank at a Prime Partner bank.
  2. If you do business with a non-Prime Partner bank, persuade the bank to become a Prime Partner.
  3. If you are employed by a non-Prime Partner bank, persuade the bank to become a Prime Partner.

Eligible Financial Institutions

Eligible Institutions are financial institutions that meet the standards of the eligibility requirement as defined by IOLTA Rule 7 (Complete IOLTA Rules). These banks strengthen the IOLTA Program, thereby generating more funds for legal aid.

See the complete list of Eligible Financial institutions.

The Texas Access to Justice Foundation will contact attorneys who will be required to move their IOLTA accounts (if their financial institutions choose not to pursue eligibility).
