How It Works
Easier access to your cash for today. Higher growth on your savings for tomorrow.
All your financial needs in one place.
CASH MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT
Banking, saving, and investing
in a single account
ICM’s proprietary, API-driven technology links the CMA directly to specified investments, creating the only product in the world that essentially transforms securities into digital transaction currencies.

Our modern approach to CMAs also empowers you to choose the currency in which you want to save and transact, which can be different across investments.

By combining the liquidity of banking, the convenience of payments, and the high return of investing, we’re delivering more value for clients, advisors, and asset managers.
A fully integrated banking and brokerage product
The CMA is funded just like any other bank account – via direct deposit, wire, or ACH transfer (Plaid) from another account. You can then allocate funds to the mobile banking account and varied brokerage subaccounts with no fees for transfers or investments.
You can then move funds seamlessly between banking and brokerage accounts at no charge, so it’s immediately available when it’s needed and earning more when it’s not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Investing in your future is easy

Why use a Cash Management Account (CMA)?

ICM’s CMA empowers you to enhance the way you manage your cash. Rather than leaving your money in no/low interest bank checking and savings accounts, the CMA enables you to optimize your returns on your cash. Multiple subaccounts provide flexibility to move money between investments.
Yes, but only in the investment accounts; all securities have a risk of loss. Funds held in your FDIC-insured bank account are guaranteed against lost.
Once enrolled, you can manage your money through a mobile app or desktop website. You can continue to add funds through direct deposit or bank transfers. You can make payments through bill pay or the investment debit card.
There is no limit. You can access your funds instantly and as many times as you like using the investment debit card.
You can’t enroll through ICM directly. Instead, you can connect with one of our wealth management, asset management, or community organization partners.
