Need a Reserve Fund for your Business or Organization?

A reserve fund is a savings account or similar highly liquid asset used to set aside funds by a business or organization to meet future costs or financial obligations. The funds set aside may be used to cover scheduled, routine, and unscheduled expenses that would otherwise be drawn from a general fund. 

Although the fund size may vary, the typical goal is to deposit funds regularly in an account that accrues interest, thereby increasing the fund’s value while not in use. Because expenses may arise unexpectedly, a reserve fund is typically kept in a highly liquid account, such as a savings account.

Benefits of setting up a reserve fund
  • Easy access to funds in an emergency
  • Separates operating funds from special purpose funds
  • Helps avoid using credit and incurring interest costs
  • Generates income on savings
  • Enhances financial security by providing a safety net against unexpected expenses, financial shocks or downturns
  • Safeguards against unforeseen events, such cash flow problems, emergencies, or significant repair costs
  • Provides flexibility in decision making
  • Enables long-term planning

KCCU has many options to keep your business or organization’s reserve funds separate, safe, and earning income.

A third party is an individual or entity, other than the account holder or those authorized to give instructions about the account, who directs what happens with the account.
