Why We Built Stock-Back®
A letter from the CEO on Stash’s newest product!
Greetings Stashers:
I have some really big news: You can now earn stock every time1 you spend with your Stash debit card!
You may have heard the buzz, because people are just so excited about Stock-Back. It’s the world’s first rewards program that gives you stock every time2 you use your Stash debit card, and it’s paid for by us3.
Our goal at Stash has always been to build world-class tools to help you manage your financial life better, and Stock-Back makes you an investor whenever4 you swipe your card. Just think—as you live your life, we’ll build your portfolio with you.
So far, your response has been overwhelming! In the first couple of weeks since we launched Stock-Back, Stashers have gotten more than 500,000 Stock-Back rewards. Users who have signed up are investing automatically where they spend day today. We think that’s just so cool, and we’re only gaining speed.
Here are just a few of the millions of ways you can earn Stock-Back:
- Go to McDonalds, and boom—you get stock in MCD.
- Go to your local car wash—you get stock in a diversified ETF.
- Pay your T-Mobile bill, and guess what—you get stock in TMUS.
- Pay your Con Edison power bill—you get stock in ED.5
You already know that Stash banking has customer-first features such as no minimum account balances, zero overdraft fees6, and the ability to receive your paycheck two days early7. But we wanted to do more—way more.
With the addition of Stock-Back, your debit card and your investment account can work together seamlessly to maximize your financial power—making the most of your spending and creating a portfolio that is a reflection of how you live your life.
Stashers want more from their financial institutions than unnecessary fees and charges for using their own money. We think Stock-Back is another building block to enable you to do more with your money.
The Stash community is over 3 million strong now. We’re so proud to be on this journey with you as you take control of building a brighter financial future for yourself.
Stash on!
The whole Stash team wakes up every morning laser-focused on our mission to provide you with the tools, guidance, and education you need to grow wealth and live your best life. We have so many more exciting new things planned for 2019, including some pretty amazing enhancements to the Stash App.
In the meantime, enjoy the nice weather and keep on Stashing!

Founder and CEO
