Earn 8x more than your average bank

Empower Personal Cash™ Program is offered through Empower Personal Wealth, LLC (“Empower”). Empower is not an FDIC-insured bank and deposit insurance covers the failure of an insured bank. Bank deposit products provided by UMB Bank n.a., Member FDIC (“UMB”). Certain conditions must be satisfied for pass-through deposit insurance coverage to apply. To participate in the program, you must open an account at UMB, through which your funds will be placed in accounts at participating program banks (which may include UMB). The advertised interest rates are paid by participating program banks, including by UMB in its capacity as a participating program bank. Your funds will be FDIC insured up to applicable limits while in transit through UMB. UMB receives a fee from each program bank (except UMB) in connection with the program that is based on the aggregate daily closing balance of deposits held in program accounts by such program bank. The fee may vary from program bank to program bank and will generally increase as the aggregate amount of funds held in program accounts with the program bank increases.

The Empower Personal Cash™ standard Annual Percentage Yield (APY) as of 12/19/24 is 3.75% APY (3.687% interest rate).

The premium APY is only available to certain Personal Cash customers and subject to the terms and conditions communicated to the customer.  For questions related to the premium APY, please reach out to our support team at [email protected].

2 FDIC insurance up to $250,000 (including principal and interest) per depositor per program bank. The cash balance you place through the program is swept to one or more program banks, where it earns a variable rate of interest and is eligible for FDIC insurance. If the number of program banks changes, the aggregate amount of available FDIC insurance could be higher or lower. If you have deposits at a program bank, you should consider electing not to use that bank by following the opt-out instructions we provide. If you do so, the aggregate amount of FDIC insurance available to you will be lower. If you do not do so, your existing deposits and deposits through Empower Personal Cash™ at that program bank will be combined for the purposes of FDIC coverage, which could result in some of your funds at that program bank being uninsured. You can find a list of the program banks here: docs.empower.com/PDF/p/cash/program-banks.pdf

For more information on FDIC insurance coverage, please visit FDIC.gov. Customers are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each of the program banks to determine the extent of available FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with FDIC rules. Funds you place in the Empower Personal Cash™ Program are not covered by SIPC insurance.
