Prime Partner Program.
A financial institution's interest rate on IOLTA/IOTA accounts directly sets how much funding reaches civil legal aid. Prime Partners choose to pay premium rates — and Ohioans benefit.
Why rates matter
IOLTA and IOTA funding rises and falls with the interest rates institutions pay on pooled trust accounts. When a bank commits to premium, above-market rates, the same client balances generate substantially more revenue for civil legal aid — at no cost to lawyers, title agents, or their clients.
What Prime Partners commit to
- Paying premium interest rates on IOLTA/IOTA accounts.
- Timely, accurate electronic remittance to the Foundation.
- Being a visible partner in Ohio's access-to-justice mission.
