Stash, the investing and banking app with more than 2 million customers and nearly $3 billion in assets under management, announced today that it successfully built and launched Stash Core, its new, proprietary infrastructure platform that underpins the service for Americans who bank like investors. Stash Core is a world-class system that unlocks innovations in banking and, in the future, new capabilities in credit, savings, lending, and more. It will also allow the company to welcome new subscribers and meet demand more easily.

Built on Stash Core, the updated Stock-Back® Debit Mastercard®, improved customer assistance, and updated benefits, such as higher rewards, are all part of Stash’s new banking account experience. Customers may earn stock and invest it when they shop thanks to the first and only Stock-Back® Debit Mastercard® (their patent was just approved). Stash users will be able to earn up to 4 times more in the future with the relaunched card. To date, Stash has awarded more than 59 million stock rewards.

“Stash Core gives us flexibility and ownership of every customer touchpoint. It’s the future of inclusive finance and transformative to our business,”

“The entire Stash platform is for everyday Americans who want to build long-term wealth with a trusted partner. With Stash Core and the Stock-Back^® Debit Mastercard^®, we are able to deliver the very best in financial tooling, customer service, and AI-powered, personalized wealth-building for those who want to earn stock and invest as they spend.”

The leading FinTech company, which has over $125 million in annualized sales and is still adding customers, just released Stash Core.
