Missouri Linked Deposit Program

Missouri Linked Deposit Program is a state administered program that invests in approved banks that ultimately result in reduced interest passed on to Missouri small businesses.

The Missouri Linked Deposit Program is administered by the State Treasurers Office and provides investment deposits to State approved banks that have made loans to businesses headquartered and operating in Missouri. The funds are invested by the state at a significantly reduced interest rate. That reduction in interest is passed on to the business to lower their loan interest rate by up to 2 to 3 percent.
