Terms of Service

Our goal is to provide you with a personalized money management solution for a better financial life. Our services (“Services”) are comprised of the following features, delivered to you through our own advisors, marketing partners, and through communications with our professionals, as follows:

Financial account aggregation
We offer financial account aggregation, where SAM Technology, acting as your authorized agent, will retrieve your financial account information, such as your account balances, transactions and holdings, from financial institutions you designate. Financial account aggregation is an optional Service you may utilize by providing financial account credentials, allowing us to securely connect with third party financial institutions, to present your financial information. Our account aggregation Services are regularly refreshed, effortlessly providing you with up-to-date financial account information.

Financial visualizations
Your financial account information, collected through account aggregation or manual account information you provide, is used to display your consolidated financial picture. Financial visualizations include various charts, detailed transactional data and other financial account data that we present to you, summarizing your financial life at a glance.

Financial insights
Your financial account information, along with optional personal and financial information you may provide, are used to generate financial insights. We utilize your aggregated account data, along with stated assumptions or information you provide, to share important financial observations that can make you aware of your overall financial picture and opportunities to improve it.

Financial consultations
You may be eligible to receive a free financial consultation from a licensed financial advisor. The consultation is optional for eligible clients or through our marketing partners, offered via solicitation from one of our professionals. A financial consultation is a personalized analysis of your financial situation, based on information gathered from your use of our Dashboard or interactively with a licensed advisor, to make you aware of potential risks and opportunities within your current financial situation.
