Cash that fits your plan
When account opening is available, open an Altruist cash account through Finance.vet — for reserves, near-term goals, and stability between military pay, retirement streams, and optional investing. No subscription. Advocates help you decide how much cash belongs in your plan; they do not custody funds.
Cash account
Saving through Altruist
Cash accounts are opened and held at Altruist, a FINRA/SIPC member broker-dealer — connected to Finance.vet so your plan reflects what you hold. Finance.vet LLC provides investment advisory services separately when you choose managed investing; cash accounts do not require advisory enrollment.
- Hold emergency reserves and short-term goals outside your TSP
- Connect to your planning picture when balances sync
- Open alongside brokerage or Roth IRA — or on its own
- Terms, yields, and insurance coverage per Altruist disclosures
