Frequently asked questions

The Steward Program is a private institutional offering consisting of two complementary solutions: Global Institutional Banking and The Financial Health Standard. Both are implemented at zero cost to participating firms and their clients.

No. There are no participation costs, platform fees, integration costs, or minimum commitments. Bishop & Finch provides full white-glove onboarding support at no charge.

Participating firms receive ongoing advisory compensation for each client relationship introduced. For Institutional Banking, compensation is based on a percentage of net revenue from client processing volume. For the Health Standard, it's a recurring per-capita fee based on enrolled employee count. Compensation continues for the life of the relationship.

For Institutional Banking, clients need $1M+ in monthly revenue. For The Financial Health Standard, organizations need 50+ full-time W2 employees. Organizations meeting either criterion may qualify.

Bishop & Finch operates in the background. Your firm is positioned as the steward of your clients' financial architecture, not a referral source. The firm relationship remains primary at all times.
