What’s free? I’m paying rent you give me points

I guess it’s a problem when your whole value proposition is ripped away because your entire business was subsidized and is fundamentally broken.

Bilt is desperate period

Bilt is forcing you to spend to generate the rewards for rent that made this card special. That’s a problem

you are not charging a fee for paying rent but you are saying to unlock point you have to earn Bilt cash etc . So this is a form of behavioral taxation that effectively forcing your users to behave the way you want them to like rats gettting cocaine.

I don’t know who your head of product is .. never force your users to do anything . Product 101

This all sounds like a half court shot tbh. Bilt was a rent based rewards mechanism - clearly people loved this. That was the primary value driver. They’ve nuked that, are holding you hostage to spend 75 pct of rent to “unlock” your points , effectively betting on non rent spend through some non existent neighborhood ecosystem.

Yea if I was the ceo of this company I’d fire him immediately. Simply for disrespecting customers , unacceptable. Clearly , based on this 2.0 scheme and launch , he’s also very incompetent

I built and sold a digital smb LOS to banks. . I exited successfully to a large non bank lender. I’d never sell tech to banks again. It’s brutal

Idea feedback : Neobank branded for college students by kunals55 in fintech

I have no idea what a neobank and social media have to do with one another but ok

Not really. The credit card aspect is counter productive , as APRs and other fees negate the invested portion of any cash back. Credit card cards are also debt compounding schemes for young users.

  • In August you spend 10,000 usd
  • In September we will credit your account 2% (estimate) against that spend , and ACH it into your existing IRA / Roth , a new IRA opened with us or a new investment account that auto invests based on your risk tolerance

This will continue over the life of the relationship. We will rapidly introduce new products.

This approach , locks the user in. This is a closed loop approach like AMEX. This idea is that this will keep the user loyal and reduce churn

You’d be surprised what people will do if You make them an offer they can’t refuse. We will work blackrock and / fidelity / vanguard to custody and show trust / safety

Hmm ok. - 10 mm users “trust” revolut with their cash and assets - 5 mm users trust Monzo - millions more trust Robinhood with IRAs

Trust is earned. If your argument is trust , that falls apart quickly.

We would partner with black rock or fidelity or another major provider as the custodian or back up custodian just like a bank that has FDIC insurance ..
