IOLTA & IBRETA Accounts
Learn more about our Interest on Lawyer Trust Account (IOLTA) & Interest-Bearing Real Estate Trust Account (IBRETA) Accounts



Lawyers, real estate brokers and other professionals can take advantage of Associated Bank’s competitive specialty business checking accounts, including the Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) and Interest Bearing Real Estate Trust Account (IBRETA).
An IOLTA moves potential interest income from an attorney’s trust account to the state, to help fund community-based programs.
Associated Bank also offers a similar service for real estate brokers—the Interest-Bearing Real Estate Trust Account. Associated Bank IOLTAs and IBRETAs offer competitive interest rates—thereby increasing funding for important community programs.
Simplify your firm’s banking by maintaining its operating account and IOLTA or IBRETA at Associated Bank—one bank, one relationship manager.

How an IOLTA or IBRETA works
Your account is assessed a monthly maintenance fee and transaction fees, as permitted by Wisconsin, Illinois or Minnesota. These fees are offset by interest earned, with the remaining interest paid to the state. If interest on your IOLTA or IBRETA is not sufficient to offset activity charges, we waive the remaining fee and do not charge the account.

No minimum account balance
Interest earned offsets fees, with excess interest paid to the state to support community service programs
