 our corporate operating structure and intercompany arrangements; and

• political or social change or unrest or economic instability in a specific country or region in which we operate.

We have limited experience with international legal and regulatory environments and market practices, and we might not be able to penetrate or successfully operate in the markets we choose to enter. In addition, we might incur significant expenses as a result of our international expansion, and we might not be successful, which could lead to substantial losses.

Further, although we do not currently offer any products or services outside the United States, a small number of our employees currently reside in, and work remotely from, Canada. We recently formed a Canadian subsidiary so that we may employ these individuals through a Canadian entity, and a number of the risks and costs set out above may apply in connection with the management and operation of our Canadian subsidiary. For example, we may experience difficulties understanding and complying with applicable Canadian laws, regulations, and customs, including with respect to labor and employment laws, payroll and benefits requirements, and tax laws, we may be exposed to increased tax obligations in connection with our intercompany arrangements, and we may bear increased legal, compliance, facilities, infrastructure, and administrative costs in connection with the operation of our Canadian subsidiary and management of our Canadian employees. If our efforts to efficiently manage our Canadian subsidiary are unsuccessful, or if we experience legal, regulatory, or tax-related difficulties in connection with our Canadian subsidiary or employees, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

### Risks Related to Our Cash Management Products and Services
Our cash management products and services subject us to risks related to our bank partnerships.

We partner with Green Dot and UMB to provide cash management services to our clients in connection with our Cash Account. Green Dot establishes direct banking relationships with our clients and provides services that include a Wealthfront-branded debit card, ATM network access, and mobile check deposit. UMB provides limited ACH capabilities and does not have a direct banking relationship with our clients. We help with recordkeeping and reconciliation of balances between our clients’ brokerage accounts, our program banks, and our banking partners.

We are not a bank and do not provide banking products and services, and so we rely on our program banks to accept client assets and to provide certain banking products or services to them. Regulatory changes or changes in market conditions could affect the willingness of our program banks, or other banks we may choose to partner with in the future, to accept client assets. Program banks may refuse to accept our clients’ assets
