Prime Partners
The Texas Access to Justice Foundation works closely with Texas banks to ensure
their participation in the Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) Program.
Per Supreme Court of Texas rules, IOLTA accounts must be held at banks that pay
interest rates comparable to similarly situated accounts.
Prime Partner banks, listed
below, go above and beyond eligibility requirements by
paying,
net of allowable reasonable fees, the higher
of 1) 75.00%
or more of the Fed Funds Target Rate; or 2) a minimum of 1.00% on IOLTA
accounts. The additional interest ensures more funding for
legal aid. The State Bar of Texas passed a
resolution
to urge support of the Prime Partner program in January 2011.
