Save Advisers Teams Up with Radius Bank for $3 Billion in Portfolio Transactions for its New SaveTech Platform

Fintech startup Save announced that they have signed a preliminary agreement with Radius Bank to power an FDIC-insured consumer checking account and the Save Debit Invest debit card for customers of Save’s Savetech platform. The Save Debit Invest account will be managed as part of Save’s first-of-its-kind savings platform, where Save provides customers with market investments that match their card signature spending on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Under the terms of the partnership, over $3 billion is expected in customer transactions and matching investments within the first 3 years.

As an example, if a customer were to spend $100,000 in a year on their card, Save expects to allocate $100,000 of equivalent portfolio investments in a portfolio matching their investment profile. Save customers get to keep the yield on the matching investments with the goal of earning average returns that are significantly higher than other card products, bank accounts, or other savings vehicles. The investments are professionally managed with Save’s algorithmic portfolio technology using a diverse portfolio of ETFs.
