Repurchase Agreement Program
Silicon Valley Bank Repurchase Agreement Program (Repo) is designed for our Venture Capital and Private Equity clients.

The Repo program allows clients to enter into secure overnight investments. A repurchase agreement, commonly referred to as a Repo transaction, is a loan from the investor to the financial institution with the financial institution providing securities to collateralize the loan. At maturity, principal and interest are credited to the investor upon return of securities.

At Silicon Valley Bank, we offer our clients the option to choose from agency or treasury securities as collateral for their Repo transactions. Collateral values are systematically checked everyday to ensure that each and every Repo transaction is fully collateralized at 102% of the initial investment. Daily principal and interest are credited to client accounts for reinvestment or operating needs.

Repo transactions are suitable for investors seeking interest income versus dividend income with minimal tolerance for loss of principal. Generally operating cash, surplus funds, and targeted-purpose funds are appropriate source of funds for Repo transactions.

Repo statements and confirmations are available online and include detailed interest and collateral information.

Repurchase transactions are offered through Silicon Valley Bank and are not covered by SIPC or FDIC insured, are not bank guaranteed, and may lose value.
