Fidelity Bloom®

Getting started

  • What is Fidelity Bloom®?

    Fidelity Bloom® is a free financial app that helps you save more, spend less, and feel better about your finances. We combine behavioral science with built-in features that help you grow your savings and change your money habits.

    You’ll open 2 Fidelity brokerage accounts, Fidelity Bloom Spend and Fidelity Bloom Save. You’ll also have the option to receive a debit card that automatically deposits your earnings and rewards into Fidelity Bloom Save.

    Orders for new debit cards are subject to a minimum balance of $250 available to withdraw. To view your balance, navigate to Fidelity.com and select the Balance tab within your account. For more information, contact Customer Service at 800-343-3548.

    Brokerage accounts are not bank accounts.

  • I’m a returning customer. How can I re-download Fidelity Bloom®?

    While enrollment has stopped, returning customers can still download the Fidelity Bloom® app using this link: https://fidelitybloom.app.link/BloomDownload. University customers can download the app through the QR code supplied by their institution. All Fidelity Bloom accounts are also available in the Fidelity® mobile app.

  • Why do I have 2 separate accounts in Fidelity Bloom®?

    Research shows that you’re more likely to have a greater awareness of your finances, and less likely to move money, when you have separate accounts for saving and spending. Fidelity Bloom® is designed with behavioral science principles to help you spend more mindfully and save more successfully.

  • How can Fidelity Bloom® help me change my spending habits?

    Fidelity Bloom® includes features like nudges and Challenges that can help you change your spending habits. We’ll share actions and insights to make you think differently about your spending and saving, and encourage you to take a more mindful approach to your finances.

  • How can Fidelity Bloom® help improve my financial well-being?

    Financial well-being has as much to do with your feelings as it does with the amount in your account. Fidelity Bloom® is built to help you feel in control of both.

  • What types of accounts are Fidelity Bloom® Save and Spend?

    Fidelity Bloom® Save and Fidelity Bloom Spend accounts are brokerage accounts with limited features available through the app so we can focus on helping you build positive saving habits.

    By using brokerage accounts, we’re able to place your cash in low-risk money market mutual funds which have historically outperformed traditional savings accounts.

    You may access a broader set of brokerage account features by logging in to your account on Fidelity.com or the Fidelity app.

    Fidelity Bloom accounts are brokerage accounts covered by SIPC. They are not bank accounts and therefore are not covered by FDIC insurance. Holdings in your Fidelity Bloom accounts are subject to market risk and risk of loss.

  • What account positions are in the app?

    Fidelity Bloom® uses the core position of your brokerage accounts—which defaults to a money market fund and holds your cash—to process your spending and saving transactions. You can select your core position when you open your account. Visit Fidelity.com to access trading and investing features of your account.

  • Do my Fidelity Bloom® Save and Spend accounts earn interest?

    The accounts in Fidelity Bloom® are brokerage accounts that default to a money market fund.
