Why MGAs are Leaving 3% on the Table

The Math of Idle Capital
When you operate at scale, small percentages dictate the strength of your margins. If your MGA maintains an average daily balance of $10M in fiduciary funds, leaving that money in a traditional "commodity" bank means you are essentially handing that bank a gift of $300,000 every single year.
With Advance's insurance-native banking infrastructure, those same accounts earn 3% APY.
This isn't just "extra" money — this is revenue that covers your operational overhead, funds new hires, or offsets the cost of your entire technology stack. We call it "found money" because it requires zero change to your underlying insurance products or risk appetite.
Why Your Current Bank Won't Tell You This
Traditional banks aren't built to handle the complexities of insurance flow — the multi-party disbursements, carrier remittances, and strict fiduciary rules. Because they don't understand your workflow, they treat your deposits as static.
Advance is different. We provide a vertical bank-supported layer built specifically for the insurance movement of money. We don't ask you to rip and replace your existing workflows or navigate complex AMS integrations. We simply provide the financial rails that allow you to capture the yield you've already earned.
Stop Giving Away Your Float
Every week you wait to modernize your fiduciary infrastructure is a week of lost revenue. In an industry where margins are under constant pressure, ignoring a 3% yield opportunity isn't just a missed chance — it's an operational failure.
In the time you read this article, you could have earned money.
