FAQS

1. What is the Cash Sweep Program?

Cash Sweep Program is a cash management program provided by Moomoo Financial Inc. This program is only open to US securities accounts under Moomoo Financial Inc. Uninvested cash is automatically swept to the bank(s) through this program and is eligible to earn interest.

When the cash purchasing power of the securities account is negative, the uninvested cash will be automatically redeemed from the bank(s) to the securities account before the transactions are settled to avoid the payment of financing interest. When the cash is positive, it will be automatically deposited in the bank(s) at 2pm EST of each trading day to earn interest.

More information can be found in the full MFI Cash Sweep Program Terms and Conditions.

The sweep program (1) allows an investor to earn a rate of interest on free cash that is higher than the rate offered for cash held in a brokerage account and (2) banks in the program offer insurance on such cash that is higher than that available for an SIPC-covered account.

The uninvested cash swept to program banks is eligible for FDIC insurance up to $1 million or $250,000 per program bank, inclusive of any other deposits you may already hold at the bank in the same ownership capacity, which may impact how much is covered. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you have with each Program Bank, in order to determine the extent of FDIC deposit insurance coverage available to you.

Please note that until funds are swept to a program bank, they are held in your brokerage account which is protected by SIPC. Once funds are swept, they are no longer held in your brokerage account and are not protected by SIPC. However, these funds are eligible for FDIC insurance through the Program Banks subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits.

2. How do I receive interest payments?

The interest in the Cash Sweep program is accrued daily and paid monthly, and will generally be paid to the swept account at the end of the month. You can use a filter to see all the records of the program in the securities account "fund details".

3. Will it affect my buying power?

When participating in the Cash Sweep program, the funds deposited in the bank will still be considered as your securities' account purchasing power.

4. Can I withdraw or invest my funds from the cash sweep program at any time?

Yes, you have the flexibility to withdraw or invest your funds at any time.

5. What is the duration of the 4.35% interest rate under the cash sweep program?

Interest rates change for a variety of reasons and MFI reserves the right to change the interest rate available to Cash Sweep Program participants at any time and without notice.
