Become an Eligible Bank/Credit Union
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.
If your institution does not currently hold IOLTA accounts, please contact
Janice Cappiello at 512.320.0099, ext. 108, before opening IOLTA accounts.
You must acquire a bank code and a packet of instructions and forms from the Texas
Access to Justice Foundation before qualifying for the eligibility process.
If your institution would like to change its eligibility
status, please contact
Janice Cappiello at 512.320.0099, ext. 108.
Prime Partners
The 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. They are
committed to ensuring the success of the IOLTA program and increased funding for
legal aid.
