“Can a patented cash-allocation engine evolve into the private banking and lending OS for the RIA channel?”
Max launched in 2013 as a patented cash maximization service that helps individuals and advisors spread funds across FDIC-insured online savings accounts held in the client's own name, rather than co-mingled cash sweep products. Over time it built out an advisor channel (Max For Advisors) with deep integrations into RightCapital, eMoney, and Morningstar ByAllAccounts. In Feb 2026 it extended into Max Private — a private-banking and lending suite aimed at large RIAs — signaling a strategic move from pure deposit optimization to a broader white-glove banking-as-a-service layer for wealth managers.
