The Direct Deposit Plus Investing Program (“DDI Program”) from Wealthfront Advisers LLC and Wealthfront Brokerage LLC, (collectively “Wealthfront”) provides eligible clients a 0.25% APY increase above the current base APY (paid by Program Banks) on total eligible Cash Account balances. Wealthfront may change or end the program at any time and determines eligibility at its discretion. See wealthfront.com/promo-terms for full details.

To qualify, eligible clients must: (i) maintain a personal individual or joint Cash Account in good standing with at least $1,000 in settled and cleared recurring monthly ACH direct deposits of income, and (ii) maintain a funded personal, joint, or trust investing account in good standing with Wealthfront Advisers. The 0.25% APY increase applies only while these requirements continue to be met.

“The Wealthfront Cash Account is my main source of money coming in and going out. I just like the convenience of having everything in one place versus a whole bunch of services that I need to manage.”
