Tiering offers customers the opportunity to earn a higher interest rate on a current balance using specified tier levels. As customers accrue dividends in their accounts and increase their position levels, a money market fund rate adjustment is applied to the daily rate. The rate adjustment is determined by the applicable tier level that corresponds with the customer's position.

"Our mission is to ensure that our clients have the most competitive tools and resources to run their businesses effectively," said Marianne Brown, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ADP Brokerage Processing Services. "This capability adds even more depth to our service offering and enables our clients to offer their customers the opportunity to grow their balances at optimum rates. Clients looking to incorporate tiering into their business plan will be equipped with a solution that delivers exceptional service to their customers."
