The Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) for the High-Yield Cash accounts (“High-Yield Cash”), formerly Altruist Cash, is variable and may change at any time. The amount of interest you will receive on your deposits will vary based on a number of factors. Accrued interest is paid on the last business day of the month directly into the High-Yield Cash account. View our disclosures to learn more.
High-Yield Cash is offered through a separate account at Altruist Financial LLC (“Altruist Financial”) that is opened solely for participation in High-Yield Cash. Neither Altruist Financial nor any of its affiliates are banks. Altruist Financial deposits cash in the High-Yield Cash account with one or more banks (“Program Banks” see the Altruist Financial LLC Participating Bank List) that accept and maintain such deposits. Through High-Yield Cash, clients’ cash is deposited into Program Banks where the cash earns a variable interest rate and is eligible for FDIC insurance. Cash is not eligible for FDIC insurance until the cash is deposited at the Program Banks. Cash in the High-Yield Cash account that is awaiting to be deposited in, and cash in transit to or from, Program Banks, may not be eligible for coverage under SIPC. SIPC coverage does not apply to cash deposited with Program Banks. FDIC insurance is limited to $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category and is subject to conditions. More information can be found in the High-Yield Cash Disclosure Statement and the Altruist Financial LLC Participating Bank List. FDIC insurance only covers the failure of the FDIC-insured depository institution. FDIC coverage can be impacted by several things, including but not limited to deposit capacity at a Program Bank and/or if a client holds cash at a Program Bank, including through this or additional sweep programs. Clients are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each of the Program Banks, whether through Altruist Financial accounts or accounts with other financial intermediaries, to determine the extent of available FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with FDIC rules. For more information on FDIC insurance coverage, please visit FDIC.gov.

Cash deposited via ACH or Check may take three (3) or more business days for the funds to become available for deposit.
