What is Flourish?

Flourish is a solution designed to deliver value while bringing held-away cash into your orbit, allowing advisors to deliver more value, unearth new assets and drive prospecting.

Today they work with over 750 RIAs and have over $4.5B in assets under custody≈ on their platform. 

"Flourish Cash provides an easy way to provide your clients with a no minimum, no fee, FDIC insured (well above typical bank coverage), competitive yield cash account  that's currently (as of March 14, 2024) paying 5% APY in the top tier. Their online interface is well designed and intuitive and I've had several clients sign up on their own after I sent them an email invite. Flourish also integrates with my CRM, Wealthbox, so I can easily send a Flourish invite to a client without having to retype any information. It's a great, easy, client-friendly alternative that is much better than they'll get at most banks."

FOR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS ONLY

"Flourish Cash currently has a tiered interest rate structure, as set forth in the rate tier summary. We deposit your cash with one or more of the Program Banks, subject to any Program Bank(s) you have excluded. You will earn the highest rate offered by Flourish up to the maximum deposit amount for each tier. Each annual percentage yield (APY) displayed here is effective as of 12/07/2023 and may change at any time. Your advisor may charge fees which impact the effective rate you receive on your cash; you should speak with your advisor for more information. The Flourish Cash interest rate(s) could be lower than the rate that could be earned by opening a deposit account directly with a Program Bank."

† A Flourish Cash account is a brokerage account offered by Flourish Financial LLC, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. Flourish Financial LLC is not a bank. Check the background of Flourish Financial LLC and its personnel on FINRA's BrokerCheck. The cash balance in a Flourish Cash account will be swept from the brokerage account to deposit account(s) at one or more third-party Program Banks that have agreed to accept deposits from customers of Flourish Financial LLC. The accounts at Program Banks will pay a variable rate of interest.

∆ An advisor’s ability to view client account information is subject to applicable privacy laws and clients' consent to such sharing.

∫ Your advisor may charge fees that are collected from your Flourish account; speak with your advisor for more information. Wire fees may apply.

≈ Assets include Flourish Cash client cash balances held with the Flourish Cash Program Banks as of 2/27/24

Ω The cash balance in a Flourish Cash account that is swept to one or more Program Banks is eligible for FDIC insurance, subject to FDIC rules, including aggregate insurance coverage limits. FDIC insurance will not be provided until funds arrive at the Program Bank. There are currently at least 20 Program Banks available to accept deposits for business Flourish Cash accounts and personal Flourish Cash accounts, and we are not obligated to allocate customer funds across more than this number of Program Banks if there is a greater number of banks in the program. Customers are generally eligible for FDIC insurance coverage of $250,000 per customer, per Program Bank, for each account ownership category. Thus, business customers are eligible for up to $5,000,000 of FDIC insurance and personal customers are eligible for (i) up to $5,000,000 of FDIC insurance for an individual account or revocable living trust account and (ii) up to $10,000,000 of FDIC insurance for a joint account with two owners or joint revocable living trust(s). The total FDIC coverage for a two-person household is calculated assuming that each household member has an individual account and that both household members share a joint account. If the number of Program Banks decreases for a customer (for instance, because a customer chooses to exclude Program Banks from receiving their deposits), the amount of FDIC insurance through Flourish Cash could be lower. Typically, all of a customer’s deposits at a Program Bank in the same ownership category (including deposits held outside Flourish Cash or held through multiple Flourish Cash accounts with the same ownership category) count toward the FDIC insurance limit for deposits at that Program Bank. Customers are responsible for monitoring whether they maintain deposits at a Program Bank outside of Flourish Cash and should consider choosing to exclude that Program Bank from receiving their deposits to avoid exceeding FDIC insurance limits. Although Flourish Cash is offered through a brokerage account and cash held in brokerage accounts often has the benefit of SIPC protection, until such time as we offer securities products, customers likely will not have the benefit of SIPC protection. SIPC protection is not available for cash held at the Program Banks. Our current Program Banks can be found here. For additional information regarding FDIC coverage, visit https://fdic.gov/.
