Altruist

Altruist is a modern, vertically integrated RIA custodian and technology platform for independent financial advisors. It combines self-clearing custody infrastructure with software for digital account opening, fractional model-based trading, rebalancing, tax management, fee billing, and performance reporting in a single workspace. Altruist runs a developer program with an OAuth 2.0 Open API (accounts, households, positions, transactions, cost basis), a Realtime API (account onboarding, funding, transfers, contacts, bank-link, time-weighted return), and custodial flat-file (SFTP) data feeds, so advisor tools and fintech partners such as Orion, Tamarac, Black Diamond, and Advyzon can integrate directly with the custodian. Backed by ICONIQ Capital and Insight Partners.

Altruist publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Custody, Wealth Management, and Financial Advisors.

Altruist’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, changelog, sandbox, support, and 21 more developer resources.
