Atomic Invest also shares a percentage of compensation received from margin interest and free cash interest earned by customers with Arc. Arc is not a client of Atomic Invest, but our engagement with Atomic Invest gives us an incentive to refer you to Atomic Invest instead of another investment adviser.

Cash Sweep Program
For Arc Treasury Accounts with Arc Advisory or Atomic Invest, Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) offers a cash sweep program. Funds in transit to or from Program Banks are generally not FDIC-insured. The Sweep Program is administered by Pershing LLC. Deposits at each Program Bank are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 for each insurable capacity. Based on eligibility criteria, the two FDIC-insured programs (“Bank Deposit Programs”) offered are 1) Dreyfus Insured Deposits (DIDI) and 2) Liquid Insured Deposits. Funds deposited into each sweep program, in aggregate, are eligible for up to $2,500,000 of FDIC insurance. The sweep programs can be configured so that once the funds reach one or more Program Banks (up to $250,000 for each insurable capacity at up to ten Program Banks), then the next Bank Deposit Program will be initiated. Although certain types of accounts, such as trust accounts may be eligible for additional FDIC insurance based on the number of beneficiaries, funds will be allocated to each Program Bank in such a way that provides up to $250,000 of FDIC insurance for individual accounts and $250,000 of FDIC insurance for trust and other corporate account types, in each case per Program Bank. If clients elect to exclude one or more Program Banks from receiving deposits, the amount of FDIC insurance available through the Arc Treasury account may be lower. Clients are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each Program Bank, including existing deposits held at Program Banks outside of the Arc Treasury account, to ensure FDIC insurance limits are not exceeded, which could result in some funds being uninsured. For more information on FDIC insurance please visit http://www.fdic.gov/. Deposits held in Program Banks are not protected by SIPC.
For financial accounts provided by Stripe (“Business,” “Wallet,” and “Reserve” accounts; collectively, “Stripe Treasury Accounts”):
Stripe Treasury Accounts are eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance if they meet certain requirements. The accounts are eligible only to the extent pass-through insurance is permitted by the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and if the requirements for pass-through insurance are satisfied. The FDIC insurance applies up to 250,000 USD per depositor, per financial institution, for deposits held in the same type of account. Neither Stripe nor Arc is an FDIC-insured institution. The FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of an FDIC-insured depository institution.
For “(Legacy) Business” accounts provided by Stripe with funds held at Goldman Sachs Bank USA:
(Legacy) Business accounts are eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance subject to conditions. The accounts are eligible to the extent pass-through insurance is permitted by the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and if the requirements for pass-through insurance are satisfied, including that the recordkeeping of identities and interest of the actual owners of the funds must be ascertainable. The FDIC insurance applies up to 250,000 USD per depositor, per financial institution, for deposits held in the same type of account. The FDIC’s deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of a FDIC-insured depository institution and neither Stripe nor Arc are depository institutions.
Yield paid by Arc related to cash balances held in Stripe accounts is subject to change over time without notice based on prevailing market conditions.
