New York, Jan. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flourish, a platform that provides innovative access to financial products that help registered investment advisors (RIAs) improve their clients’ financial outcomes, today announced that Flourish Cash, its cash management solution, and Flourish Crypto, its cryptocurrency investing offering, were recognized as “Software All Stars” in the 2024 T3 / Inside Information Software Survey.
Conducted by industry veterans Joel Bruckstein of Technology Tools for Today (T3) and Bob Veres of Inside Information, the survey combines insights from thousands of advisors and historical data to serve as a comprehensive guide for advisors seeking to optimize technology for client service and office efficiencies. Standout solutions, identified as Software All Stars, are highlighted if they achieve exceptional (at least 8.0) average user ratings and significant market penetration.
In the Automated Cash Management category, Flourish Cash secured a rare 9.02 rating, while Flourish Crypto earned 8.57 in the Cryptocurrency/Alts category. The survey also revealed that of the 130 surveyed advisory firms considering a cash management solution, Flourish Cash is their top choice.

“We are thrilled to have our products highlighted as Software All Stars and, following a momentous year for Flourish Cash, we are incredibly pleased to see this solution in particular receive the highest category rating, highest market share, and highest growth–all by a significant margin. Flourish’s products are built explicitly for RIAs and it is a high bar to earn praise from financial advisors,” said Max Lane, CEO of Flourish.

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 16 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 $4,000,000 of FDIC insurance and personal customers are eligible for (i) up to $4,000,000 of FDIC insurance for an individual account or revocable living trust account and (ii) up to $8,000,000 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/.
