Betterment Securities will receive fees in connection with deposit balances earning the non-promotional APY. See Current APY.

†Betterment Everyday Savings ("Savings") is offered by Betterment LLC. Clients of Betterment LLC may participate in Savings through their brokerage account held at Betterment Securities. Neither Betterment LLC nor any of its affiliates is a bank. Through Savings, clients' funds are deposited into one or more banks ("Program Banks ") where the funds earn a variable interest rate and are eligible for FDIC insurance. Savings provides Betterment clients with the opportunity to earn interest on cash intended to purchase securities with through Betterment LLC and Betterment Securities. Savings should not be viewed as a long-term investment option.

Funds held in brokerage accounts while in transit to Program Banks are not eligible for FDIC insurance. Funds deposited into Savings are eligible for up to $1,000,000.00 of FDIC insurance once the funds reach one or more Program Banks (up to $250,000 each at up to four Program Banks). Even if there are more than four Program Banks, Clients will not necessarily have deposits allocated in a manner that will provide FDIC insurance above $1,000,000.00. The FDIC calculates the insurance limits based on all accounts held in the same insurable capacity at a bank, not just cash in Savings. If clients elect to exclude one or more Program Banks from receiving deposits the amount of FDIC insurance available through Savings may be lower. Clients are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each Program Bank, including existing deposits held at Program Banks outside of Savings, to ensure FDIC insurance limits are not exceeded, which could result in some funds being uninsured. For more information on FDIC insurance please visit www.FDIC.gov. Deposits held in Program Banks are not protected by SIPC. For more information see the full terms and conditions and Betterment LLC’s Form ADV Part II.
