Questions we hear a lot

Straight answers about Holdings for nonprofits

Is Holdings designed specifically for nonprofits?

Holdings serves all types of organizations, but our fund accounting, unlimited sub-accounts, and zero-fee structure make it especially well-suited for nonprofits that need to track restricted and unrestricted funds separately.

Can I track restricted and unrestricted funds separately?

Yes. You can create unlimited sub-accounts to separate funds by restriction, program, or grant—and our accounting tools let you tag every transaction so your reporting stays clean and audit-ready.

Does Holdings help with Form 990 preparation?

Holdings generates the financial reports your CPA or tax preparer needs to complete your Form 990, including categorized income and expenses, fund balances, and program-level reporting.

Are there really no fees?

There are no monthly account fees, no minimum balance requirements, and no fees for domestic ACH or wire transfers. Certain foreign or special-case fees may still apply.

How is my organization's money protected?

Deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance up to $3,000,000 through our program bank network. Holdings also maintains SOC 1 Type II certification and uses AES-256 encryption for all data.

Can multiple team members access the accounts?

Yes. You can invite board members, executive directors, and finance staff with role-based permissions so everyone sees exactly what they need—nothing more.

How do I switch from our current bank?

You can open your Holdings accounts in minutes with your EIN and basic organizational documents. There is no need to close your existing accounts right away—you can transition at your own pace.
