You can link your existing checking, savings, and brokerage accounts at thousands of financial institutions to a new Max Checking account which you can open in as little as 60 seconds, or you may link Max directly to your existing checking account at 18 of the largest banks and brokerage firms in the country. Max then helps you earn higher yield at leading FDIC-insured online banks including Ally Bank, BankProv, Barclays, BrioDirect powered by Webster Bank, Customers Bank, Fieldpoint Private, LendingClub Bank, Quontic Bank, UFB Direct, and Veritex Community Bank.

Max works quietly in the background, keeping an eye out for the best rates, and proposes to you how you can move your cash to your highest-yielding accounts each month so you can maximize your earnings, even as rates change. You can view your balances at any time and track the status of all your transfers on your Max Dashboard. If you need cash same day, you can always call your banks directly to request a wire transfer since all funds remain in your own bank accounts held directly in your own name.
