Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m editor in chief, Zack Miller. Challenger bank Stash is rooted in helping most Americans invest and build wealth, $5 at a time. The company has grown a lot this year. Co-founder and CEO Brandon Krieg joins me on the podcast to update the firm’s growth metrics. Stash recently won Tearsheet’s Challenger Bank Award for Best Card Product for its Stock Back Card, which rewards cardholders with fractional shares of companies they shop at. We talk about the growth opportunities for the firm and its decision early on to monetize its accounts via a subscription fee. Lastly, we discuss Stash’s relationship with Green Dot, its banking as a service provider, and what’s important to get right in those types of partnerships. Brandon Krieg is our guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
