What is Cash Reserve?

Cash Reserve is one of our ways to help you save. As part of our cash management suite, Cash Reserve is a cash account that you can use alone or alongside other investment goals you already have with Betterment.

Benefits:

  • Earn a variable rate of 4.00% APY*
  • FDIC insurance covering up to $2 million at our program banks† subject to certain conditions. Betterment is not a bank.
  • Access your cash in 1-2 business days
  • No limits on withdrawals

Cash Reserve is only available to clients of Betterment LLC, which is not a bank, and cash transfers to program banks are conducted through the clients’ brokerage accounts at Betterment Securities. For Cash Reserve (“CR”), Betterment LLC only receives compensation from our program banks; Betterment LLC and Betterment Securities do not charge fees on your CR balance.
