Flourish announced its planned acquisition of AI -powered liability-optimization fintech Sora Finance .

Sora will continue to operate as a standalone offering for roughly 12 months .

CEO Max Lane said he expects to introduce a fully integrated cash and lending solution in early 2026 .

Lane said the integrated solution will focus heavily on residential real estate financing.

Flourish offers FDIC insurance up to $6 million for an individual or $12 million for a joint account.

John Bell , owner and lead financial planner of Free State Financial Planning in Maryland , said he has used it for the past year .

Bell said he had explored using competitor MaxMyInterest but didn't like the associated client fee, which effectively reduces the overall yield.
