Managing Deposit Security
The South Dakota State Treasurer acts as one of a two-member commission which supervises the insuring of all public funds. Depositories of public funds must pledge 100% of the funds to secure them. These pledged securities are secured by a custodian bank for the State Treasurer and assures the public that there will be no loss of funds in the event of failure of the institution.
