NEW YORK, April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- STASH, one of the fastest growing financial platforms in the U.S., simplifying how millions of Americans save and invest, announced today it has fulfilled half a million Stock-Back™¹ rewards just one month post launch.

"Only a few weeks in and Stock-Back is proving to be a powerful rewards program. By simply using their STASH debit card² at their retailers—Chipotle, Walmart, Amazon, their local coffee shop—customers have already earned half a million Stock-Back rewards," said Brandon Krieg, Co-Founder and CEO of STASH. "Giving every American the chance to be an investor has always been at the core of STASH's mission. With Stock-Back, we're upping the ante by offering a direct connection between spending and investing, providing unmatched value for millions of customers—making them all investors. This is what banking should be."

STASH is the only financial platform with an investment account and a debit card that work together to turn every American into an investor. Customers earn fractional shares of stock every time³ they use their STASH debit card. Customers automatically and instantly build investment portfolios that can reflect their spending habits by earning stock rewards directly in the companies they shop, eat, watch, listen and live with.

For example, when customers buy a meal at a local restaurant, or pay their parking meter, they earn Stock-Back in a diversified ETF⁴. When customers buy a coffee at Dunkin, pay T-Mobile bills, or shop at Amazon or Walmart they earn a piece of each companies' publicly traded stock (i.e., DNKN, TMUS, AMZN, WMT). All Stock-Back rewards are invested in a customers' personal investment account with STASH.

The program offers a rotating selection of up to 5% bonus Stock-Back on popular and high volume retailers like Netflix and Spotify, and an unlimited base of 0.125% Stock-Back on all purchases everywhere. Upcoming Stock-Back bonus rewards include 3% for Walmart and Amazon.
