Paid Non-Client Promotion for the Treasury Account and Automated Investing: NerdWallet has engaged Atomic Invest LLC (“Atomic”), an SEC-registered investment adviser, to bring you the opportunity to open an investment advisory account with Atomic. NerdWallet receives compensation of 0% to 0.85% of assets under management annualized, payable monthly, for each referred client who opens an Atomic account and a percentage of free cash interest earned by clients, which creates a conflict of interest.

Brokerage services for Atomic are provided by Atomic Brokerage LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC and an affiliate of Atomic, which creates a conflict of interest.

Paid Non-Client Promotion for the Cash Account: You can open a Cash Account offered by Atomic Brokerage LLC which allows you to earn interest on your cash through a cash sweep program. See important Cash Account disclosures at https://www.atomicvest.com/legal/disclosures/7d9c31dd-bf97-46ae-9803-1774b97187af. Atomic Brokerage shares fees from the cash sweep program banks with NerdWallet for each referred client who opens a Cash Account, which creates a conflict of interest.
