\*Your funds do not go through Robora, nor are they held in Robora’s name. They connect directly between your Primary Account and your new bank account through our Partner Bank network in your name. Banking services are provided by OMB Bank, member FDIC, and OMB Bank will place deposits through IntraFi’s ICS service, which is the largest bank network of its kind, and subject to the ICS Deposit Placement Agreement. Certain conditions must be satisfied for “pass-through” FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply.

## The High Yielding Account

Earn higher yields on your cash with Robora’s simple, secure interface. Manage your money effortlessly and maximize your returns.

### Keep your checking account,  
multiply your earnings

Robora links your existing bank account to a system that allocates your deposits to high-yielding accounts at our partner bank and a network of banks, making it easy to earn more interest on your deposits. Funds are seamlessly transferred back to your primary account whenever needed. This system protects against fraud and makes managing your business or personal cash simple.

### Access your cash any time

You have complete access to your cash at any time, anywhere, with no transfer fees. The cash moves between accounts based on your pre-set rules or actions, and can be accessed on a same-day basis from your primary account.

## The Cash Analytics

Don't know how much cash is "excess" in your existing account? Robora’s cash roboadvisor makes it easy to predict cash needs, and set smart rules to help you plan and maximize your earnings.

### Using history to plan for the future

Robora uses your existing account's net cash payment history to estimate the cash needed (i.e. a minimum balance that should remain in your primary account). This amount is conservative by nature and it's called "Lower Threshold". As long as there are funds available in your high-yield account, money will be transferred to your primary account to maintain your Lower Threshold. You can change your Lower Threshold manually at any time.

### Defining "Excess Cash"

Now that the Lower Threshold is determined, we add a small volatility buffer to set an “Upper Threshold”. Any amount above the Upper Threshold is called Excess Cash - the amount that should be optimized. As with the Lower Threshold, you can change your Upper Threshold manually at any time.

## The Automation

Now that the thresholds are set, Robora automates the rest.

### Automate transfers to your  
primary account

If the balance in your existing account drops below the Lower Threshold, cash is automatically transferred into your existing account from the Robora Cash account - ensuring sufficient funds for your daily needs without manual intervention.

### Automate transfers to your  
high-yield account

If the balance in your existing account exceeds the Upper Threshold, the Excess Cash automatically moves to the Robora Cash account for higher returns.

### You control the automation

While Robora provides automation, you retain full control to transfer funds, pause, or even turn off the automation.

Robora Financial or Robora is a brand of FinOpti Treasury, LLC (“Robora”), a financial technology company, not a depository institution, bank, or credit union, and is not itself a FDIC insured company. FinOpti Treasury, LLC partners with OMB Bank, Member FDIC. By opening an OMB Bank account through Robora, your funds are held in a deposit account at OMB Bank.

1\. Annual percentage yield (APY) is 2.90% if the monthly average balance at the relationship level is less than $250,000, or 3.36% if the monthly average balance at the relationship level is greater than or equal to $250,000, effective as of September 17, 2026 and may change at any time, before or after the account is opened, without rate limitation. Rates are determined by varying prevailing economic and business conditions, including the U.S. Federal Reserve interest paid on reserves.

2\. Robora is not an FDIC-insured depository institution and FDIC insurance only applies to the failure of the bank where your account is maintained. By opening an account through Robora, Customers deposit their funds into either:

A deposit account at OMB Bank, Member FDIC, and held by OMB Bank, with such funds (combined with any other of such Customers funds at OMB) FDIC Insured up to the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 ("SMDIA"); or a deposit account at OMB Bank, which sweeps those funds into deposit accounts across a network of FDIC-insured banks for access to millions of FDIC-insurance in aggregate across the accounts. Under this program, the Customer’s funds are placed into deposit accounts across a network of FDIC-insured banks for up to the current SMDIA of $250,000 per eligible depositor, per receiving bank, for each ownership capacity or category, including any other balances they may hold at that receiving bank directly or indirectly through other intermediaries, including broker-dealers.
