New Fintech App Combines all Financial Tasks into One Place: Interview with Jena Gruenebaum, Director of Client Advocacy at Marygold & Co

Posted on June 27, 2023

How many different apps do you use to manage your finances? The odds are you have an entire folder on your smartphone dedicated to banking, saving and investing, but what if you could do all that on one app? Find out more in this TechBullion interview with Jena Gruenebaum from Marygold & Co; a financial technology company which recently announced the launch of its banking and financial services app, offering streamlined and tailored solutions for money management.

Please introduce yourself to us, tell us more about your journey so far in the fintech industry and your mission at Marygold & Co?

My name is Jena Gruenebaum, and I am the director of client advocacy at Marygold & Co. I joined the company about nine months ago after spending a decade at prominent investment firms. While I am forever grateful for what each stop of my career offered in terms of learning and development, I was ready to put my efforts behind a company that was nimble and forward-thinking, with the goal of delivering the best client experience from day one — and that’s what I found in Marygold & Co.

Could you tell us about your new fintech solution, banking and financial services app plus debit card, what problems is solving, who is it for and how does it work?

The Marygold & Co. app empowers clients to bring all of their financial transactions together into one place — organizing what could otherwise be an entire folder of apps and spreadsheets into one simple and easy-to-use platform. Our unique solution addresses a myriad of common problems, from lacking convenience and accessibility to time-consuming transactions, poor financial literacy and generic, cookie-cutter services not personalized to help individual users.

To sign up, simply download the app and provide some identifying information — it’s as easy as that! While awaiting the arrival of our debit card in the mail, clients can explore the app, including an ever-growing library of content aimed at boosting financial literacy. We have something to offer clients at every stage in life, but hope to resonate with younger savers who have the opportunity to set themselves up for long-term success. We have found that these savers often lack the proper tools and resources to achieve their goals. Marygold & Co. exists to address that gap.

What trends inspired the development of this new fintech app, could you give us a market overview of the banking and financial services sector and why your new solution is a must have at this point?

We want to bring clients an experience that redefines how they think about banking. Right now, there is an entire marketplace of apps that are great for certain aspects of a person’s financial life — payments between friends, staying on top of bills, investing, saving, etc., but we want Marygold & Co. to be the platform that conveniently brings everything together in one location. With the increased demand for convenience, artificial intelligence and other digital banking trends driving innovation and change, our unique banking and financial services app truly simplifies and organizes every aspect of how clients interact with their money.

Taking a closer look at the Unlimited Money Pool investing features, how does this work and could you elaborate on the need for diversified portfolios on the app?

Money Pools are individual investment accounts designed to help clients meet short- and long-term savings goals. For example, if a client wants to purchase a home in five years, they can open an account and start contributing today. Upon opening, they will receive a recommended investment portfolio — one with risk aligned with their stated time horizon.

As the client continues to save and contribute, they have the opportunity for their money to grow in the market. The portfolio risk automatically reduces so their savings are better protected as the date for their home purchase approaches. At Marygold and Co., we offer clients the opportunity to open unlimited individual Money Pools without additional fees — so they can start saving for all their dreams.

What inspired the convenient “PayAnyone™“ capability on your app, how does it work and what makes this special?

As the name suggests, we want our clients to be able to pay anyone with a U.S. bank account, whether they are a Marygold & Co. client or not. When sending money to another Marygold app user, the app sends a push notification, and the funds are dispersed. Others without the Marygold app, will receive a text or email with instructions to accept the funds. After entering their bank account information, the app facilitates the execution of the transaction. PayAnyone™ is our unique approach to giving our clients the simplicity and ease of keeping all their transactions within one app, regardless of where their friends and family choose to bank.

The entire thrust behind Marygold & Co. is to simplify financial lives — and while other apps provide similar services, they require that the other person also have the same app. Our team knows PayAnyone™ is a better way forward.

How safe is your app, tell us more about your advanced security features, and how they empower clients to take control of their account security?

The Marygold & Co. app has a built-in mobile application protection suite (MAPS) to identify suspicious behavior and protect confidential client data and payment controls within the app. Clients experience a safe and secure app session using this new MAPS layer, which doesn’t impact any app performance issues. The app also provides security controls to handle different types of transactions (e.g., contactless, e-commerce, point-of-sale and international.) For lost or stolen cards, clients can freeze their debit cards with a simple toggle within the app.

With digital transformation, came the innovation in contactless payment, could you give us more insights into the contactless technology and how it works with the Marygold & Co. debit card?

Contactless “tap-and-pay” payments have exploded from one in every three to every other transaction in the last few years (thanks to COVID-19!). Secure, encrypted tap-to-pay technology facilitates a smoother and faster checkout experience at retail stores. Our Marygold & Co. debit card is contactless-enabled by default and globally accepted at all point-of-sale storefronts, which means all transactions support card-present (face-to-face) payments. With contactless payment technology embedded in our debit cards, key fobs and wearables, Marygold & Co. ensures a fast and convenient way for daily purchases.

What customizable savings and funding accounts are available on the Marygold & Co. debit card, how do they work and what are the benefits?

In addition to investment Money Pools, we offer two additional cash options. First are cash Money Pools, which act like a traditional savings account but are still unlimited in nature, allowing clients to bucket their emergency reserves and short-term savings in a way that makes sense for them. Second are Spend Now accounts, which act as traditional checking accounts. Debit card transactions, PayAnyone™, bill pay and other transactions are executed within Spend Now. By offering three fee-free options, clients can bucket their money in a way that makes sense for their financial goals.

What is the user response for the new debit card so far, and use cases or success stories you would like to share with us?

While our product and engineering teams were hard at work developing the app, our operations team amassed over 10,000 people for our waitlist. Having just debuted, many of those folks are now active users. Thus far, the response to the card design, delivery experience and functionality has been very positive. We look forward to continuously improving by analyzing data and feedback over the coming months.

What are you currently working on and what are your future plans for this fintech app, any available opportunities for investors and partnerships at Marygold & Co.?

As a full-service financial company, we will never stop adding to the tools and services that help our clients simplify their financial lives! We are very proud of our current product but are excited to offer retirement vehicles, budgeting tools and other in-demand features soon. Our goal is to never stop evolving on our path to make managing money the easiest part of our lives.

How to Avoid Identity Theft

You’ve worked hard for the things you have under your name – it’s more than a sinking feeling to find out that someone has stolen your belongings, finances, and identity. It can be a real pain to try and sort it all out once it happens. It’s best to try and take preventative measures so that you’re not a victim of identity theft. Here are some tips on how to avoid identity theft.

What is Identity Theft?

When someone deliberately uses another’s identification, that person is committing identity theft. This information might be a name, a driver’s license number, social security number, a fingerprint, a PIN, a passport, a health card identification, a bank account, an electronic signature, a credit card, or debit card number.

The High Cost of Identity Theft

If you fell victim to identity theft, you’re not alone. Last year, forty-nine million Americans experienced identity theft according to the 2021 Identity Fraud Study by Javelin Strategy & Research. The cost to consumers was $56 billion—for one year!

It’s not just about cleaning out your bank account. With your identity, the thief can make regular bank withdrawals, apply for credit cards, get a loan, buy a car, a house, or a plane ticket.

Writer Asaf Griener paints a frightening scenario. We won’t go into detail here but it is worth taking a look at.

How Technology Helps the Thief

In a NewScientist article “Cyber Crime Made Easy”, the author explains the level to which hackers are making adept use of malicious software. You can purchase an app for credit card theft.

Just as high-tech makes it easy to steal a car, points out CBC’s Sarah Bridge, so too, there is an alarming array of gadgets for identity theft. Ed Oswald describes some of these.

Skimmers

Identity thieves capture data on your debit cards by skimming. A data storage device could be attached to an ATM. They could also be attached to credit card readers. While the transaction is going through a digital copy of your credit card information is being made.

How Can You Combat Skimming?

Never let your credit or debit card out of your sight. Be cautious if a machine looks unusual. Use cards with an EMV chip if possible. Cover the pad when you enter your PIN and always monitor your transactions on your app or statements.

Laptops

Some identity thieves simply drive around looking for unsecured hotspots with their laptop. Then they log into your wireless network looking for vulnerabilities.

How Can You Combat the Laptop Thief?

Make sure your computer’s firewall is up and running. Never leave your home wireless network unsecured. Choose a Wi-Fi password that is hard to crack. Enable all security features on the router.

Your Old Gadgets

How we treat old, broken gadgets is important. Those old gadgets may not work but they contain data. Often before they are discarded, data is not wiped, identity thieves can gather personal information.

How to Combat Identity Theft from Old Gadgets

Be careful what you store there—like passwords and PINs. Keep sensitive information off these devices. Before you discard them, wipe clean every device before you trade it in or sell it. The New York Times offers this easy way to clean data from your device.

Internet Connection

If thieves have one of your credit card numbers, it is easy for them to conceal their actions. All it requires to change a system is a name, address, and a credit card. Once an address is changed, they can open credit cards and other fraudulent accounts in your name. And you probably won’t even realize it until months later!

How Can You Stop Internet Theft?

Use your credit cards wisely. If you lose one, shut it off immediately. Restart it when you know it is safe. Some banks offer a freeze/unfreeze option for your card. If you aren’t sure if you’ve lost it but want to keep your funds protected, this is a great option! Then you don’t have to worry about cancelling your card and waiting for the bank to reissue your new one.

Lost, Stolen, and Compromised Cards

Identity theft is far from rare. Fraud is a global problem that continues to grow. The Insurance Information Institute claims that in 2020, losses from identity theft cases topped $712.4 billion dollars. Which is a 42 percent increase from 2019. In 2020, the second highest reported identity fraud came from credit cards and opening new accounts. By 2021, losses are forecasted to increase to $721.3 billion dollars. It continues to climb annually.

Common Mistakes of Online Banking

We’re lulled into a sense of security because online banking seems so private and safe. Our naiveté blunders can make us easy victims of fraud and identity theft.

Never assume everything is okay.

Check credit card activity and your bank accounts often. Monitor the activity on your accounts. Inform your financial institution if there are any suspicious transactions immediately.

Don’t use predictable and/or unchanging passwords.

I know. It’s easier to keep a password forever. It’s tempting to choose one that makes sense and is easy to recall. Don’t be one of those people who use the same password for several cards!

Make it hard for thieves. Change your passwords often. One banking institution recommends changing your password after every transaction!

Write down new passwords and store them in a safe place—not your smartphone or your computer.

Guard your smartphone at all times.

Sadly, our lives are stored in our smartphones. Over fifty percent are used for online banking. How can you cut the odds of theft? Use only official banking apps.

Don’t decline security features.

Without security alerts to your phone or email, identity thieves can use your information undetected 75% longer. Look for free apps. Some banks even provide information when the account falls below a specific limit.

Don’t avoid online banking.

Your financial institution spends millions bolstering online security and keeping firewalls strong. It would be a shame if you avoided the convenience of online banking simply because it might be risky.

Customized security is tailored to your needs and desires. New features are coming out as technology improves them.

Why Choose Marygold & Co.?

Marygold & Company has over two decades of experience in financial services. Recently launched, the Marygold & Co. Mastercard Debit Card and mobile app gives customers safe FDIC-insured accounts with a custom security dashboard that allows users to take more control of their finances.

Marygold & Co. has created a new card and app where you can control the use of your card with just a toggle. With the Marygold & Co. app, you can even control where your card is used.

With Marygold & Co’s user-friendly, customized security, you can freeze and unfreeze your account or type of transaction like international with the touch of your mobile phone..

We all have those heart-stopping moments when our card goes missing. Whether it was lost, stolen, or misplaced, canceling is time-consuming and inconvenient. You have to contact businesses to stop recurring payments tied to that card. You have to wait to receive a new one.

With Marygold & Co.’s customized security, you need only use your secure app to freeze your card. If it turns up, you merely unfreeze it!

Early Direct Deposit

Direct deposit has gone from being a cutting-edge feature to the default for most workers and employers, and it’s no surprise why. It eliminates the hassle of cashing your check at the bank. Instead, your employer pays you electronically and the money is deposited directly into your bank account. With Marygold & Co.’s early direct deposit, you can get your money up to two days earlier than traditional banks. We make sure to process your deposits as soon as they arrive, which means you’ll most likely have access to your hard-earned money earlier than the scheduled payday.

Benefits of Direct Deposit

When you set up early direct deposit, there are a few advantages that put you ahead of everyone else (other than just getting paid two days earlier):

Early Access and Increased Accessibility

Setting up this feature not only saves time, it is so much more accessible. Since funds are electronically transferred, they are automatically credited.

Gone are the days of waiting for a check to clear.

Direct deposit, along with the rise of banking technology allows you to get your money deposited without having to physically run to the bank.

Some fintech apps, like the Marygold & Co. app, provide you with direct deposit up to two days earlier*, as well as access to all banking features through your phone.

This means your money is always with you wherever you are!

Pay your Bills on Time and Save More

Another bonus is that it takes away the stress of making sure you deposit your check in time to ensure your bills will be paid on time.

Using an account with early direct deposit can give you extra time to pay monthly bills such as rent and utilities.

Not only can you access your paycheck earlier but you can also receive your tax money up to two days early*, before it’s available at traditional banks.

Yes, we’ve concluded that it is an easy way to avoid missing out on payments, but it can also help you save more efficiently.

The Marygold & Co. interest-earning feature called ‘Money Pools‘ can be set up simultaneously with this feature to ensure that you get closer to your savings goals with each payment. You can customize this feature to have a percentage or specific amount of your paycheck deposited directly into your “Money Pool” savings account and start earning interest on your money while building your savings.

Safer Than Paper Checks!

Using online banking and perks such as this one can trigger concerns about safety.

However, direct deposit is considered much safer than being paid through check. Paper checks can easily be lost, stolen, or fraudulently cashed.

With this feature, your money is automatically transferred from your employer’s account into the bank account you choose.

The biggest hazard is ensuring your account information goes to someone you trust.

How Does Direct Deposit Work?

To start the process, your employer’s HR department or the payroll company your employer utilizes submits payroll files – which contain account information, to their bank, which then sends the data to an Automated Clearing House (ACH). A bank-to-bank electronic transfer takes place once the HR department receives account information, and the money is then deposited into your account.

Direct Deposit with Marygold & Co.

More than 93 percent of U.S. workers receive their pay by direct deposit, according to the 2019 survey “Getting Paid In America”. Direct deposit has become the standard for most workers and employers and with Marygold & Co., you can receive your money up to two days early! Marygold & Co. is a free and FDIC-insured banking and financial services app that allows customers to send, receive, spend and save money safely through their mobile devices. Using early direct deposit, along with other Marygold & Co. features will make your finances easier and more convenient to manage.

Redefine the way you bank and join our waitlist.

*Early access to direct deposit funds depends on timing of payer’s submission of deposits. We generally post such deposits on the day they are received which may be up to 2 days earlier than the payer’s scheduled payment date.

Is Contactless Payment Safe?

Thanks to COVID-19, most of us really don’t want to hand our card to someone or touch a potentially contaminated PIN pad on a POS device. Questions about passing germs and touching common surfaces have boiled to the top of our everyday thoughts.

What if there was a way to pay without worrying about the cashier handling your card or whether the payment processor has been sanitized?

Let me introduce you to the world’s newest buzzwords: contactless payments.

What Are Contactless Payments?

Investopedia defines contactless payment as a “secure method for consumers to purchase products or services by using a debit, credit, smartcard or another payment device by using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and near-field communication (NFC).”

Now that may sound confusing. Essentially a contactless payment is exactly what the title states – a way for you to make a transaction without handing the card to the cashier, swiping your card, or even touching a point-of-sale terminal. This process allows customers to tap-to-pay rather than inserting your card into a machine. Contactless transactions are made through your phone, card, watch, key fob, bracelet, or other enabled items.

However, only NFC-enabled cards allow for no-touch transactions. Your smartphone is already equipped with this chip for services like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Most banking cards are being issued with the NFC chip as the U.S. begins to migrate towards this new tap-to-pay technology. If you have noticed the sideways wifi symbol on your card, this is an indication that your card has the tap-to-pay functionality.

Technology Behind Contactless Payment

Contactless payments are possible through near-field communication (NFC). Both the card and card reader must be equipped with this in order for the transaction to work.

This technology allows the chip in your card – or phone or smart-watch – to emit secure, short-range radio waves that communicate with the point-of-sale (POS) terminal. Purchases made using this method are as simple as holding your payment method near the POS terminal.

The History of Contactless Payment

Surprisingly enough, contactless payment has been around for decades. The first example was in Seoul, South Korea in 1995 when the transit system began to use contactless bus passes.

Since then, and especially more recently, the method has exponentially grown.

The United States is slightly slower than other countries in adopting new transaction methods. However, most retailers have moved over to NFC-capable terminals and almost all major banks in America offer ways to make contactless payments.

As the world is trying to socially distance and stay healthy, contactless payment is gaining more popularity. Mastercard reported that there was an uptick of over forty percent in contactless payments in 2020.

However, being creatures of habit, many people still have trouble trusting this new method of payment versus the traditional way of paying.

This brings us to the question – is contactless payment safe?

In short, yes.

How Safe is Contactless Payment?

Many people fear that sending data wirelessly is easily intercepted. This is certainly not the case with contactless payment. For all intents and purposes, it’s just as safe as using the chip reader.

Any time information is shared between a payment method and POS terminal, the data is encrypted. Furthermore, to ensure the process is even safer, the transaction uses a one-time code that has no value outside of that transaction.

Meaning even if someone was able to get the information from the two inches between your payment and the card reader, the information would be essentially useless.

Compared to the old magnetic strip technology, contactless payment is exponentially safer. With magnetic strips, people could steal and clone the data on your card and make a completely new one, leading to fraud. This process is not possible with NFC/EMV chips.

Why Should I Use Contactless Payment?

Many people are coming around to contactless. In fact, one in three card payments is now contactless. But if you’re still not convinced, consider these advantages for contactless payments.

It’s Secure

Security is (and should be) a top priority for most businesses, especially in the fintech industry. NFC technology certainly helps make transactions as secure as possible. As the transaction goes through, all data is encrypted and uses a unique, one-time code, making it nearly impossible to clone the data. Secondly, the card or mobile device must be within centimeters of the POS terminal for tap-to-pay to work. Thirdly, the transaction is verified by using two-factor authentication or fingerprint when using your mobile device.

It’s Fast

Contactless payments don’t require a Personal Identification Number (PIN). It’s as simple as holding your card or phone up to the reader – and you’re done. Much faster compared to inserting a card in the chip reader, declining cash back, then entering your PIN – all to wait fifteen seconds for the payment to go through.

It’s Contact-Free

This is a given – but it can be understated. We’re all trying to stay safe and healthy. The pandemic has made many realize how dirty public surfaces can be. Yes, companies are taking extra measures to ensure everything is cleaned and sanitized – but this doesn’t eliminate the risk. With contactless payments, you don’t need to touch the reader that potentially hundreds of others already have.

It’s Convenient

Contactless doesn’t have to be done with a debit or credit card. Think about Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay – these are virtual wallets that eliminate the need to carry around a physical wallet. Say you’re going to the beach or on a hike – you don’t want to lose your wallet, but may want to buy something on your outing. Using a contactless payment method makes it possible to pay without physically carrying your card as long as you have your mobile phone or NFC-enabled bracelet or key fob like those offered at Marygold & Co.

Risks Of Contactless Payments

Like anything, contactless payments have risks, but NFC technology is so advanced it is less susceptible to hackers than traditional card technology and improvements are adding layers of security to protect user data. However, the impossibility of interception can’t be completely guaranteed:

Because there is no PIN entered when using contactless, whoever is physically holding the card is able to make transactions. However, there are normally lower limits set on the card for extra protection. Enhanced security controls, like Marygold & Co. offers, will enable you to manage your own limits and turn on/off contactless payment capabilities. Keep track of your card and freeze it anytime one goes missing.

How to Get Started

Most banks will offer forms of contactless payment, be it on your smartphone or your credit card.

Start by using Marygold & Co. for all your financial needs and transactions.

How to Keep More of Your Paycheck

Budgeting your paycheck is something everyone should do, but it doesn’t mean everybody does. Sometimes, the hardest thing about saving is starting. If you find yourself spending beyond your paycheck, stretching it way too thin, or not contributing to your savings account – it might be time to create a plan to begin saving.

30% of Americans have a financial plan that includes savings.
69% of Americans have less than $1,000 in a savings account.
$3,500 is the median amount of savings for American households.

There are several things you can do to save more money from your paycheck each month. By developing a simple and realistic strategy that works for you, you’ll be closer to reaching your financial goals.

Here are some tips on how to keep more of your paycheck:

Budget Your Money

Start combing through your monthly spending so you can see where you can cut frivolous spending habits. Some helpful tools would be to use spreadsheets or track multiple savings goals on the Marygold & Co. mobile app. First, prioritize true essentials like rent, transportation, bills, food, and debt. Once you figure out how much you need for bills and other essential expenses, you will need to create a savings goal. Your second priority should be saving or investing in contribution accounts. Then if your budget allows for it, you can use the rest of the money on ‘emotional’ spending.

Budgeting will help you spend recreational money better since you’re more likely to be mindful about what you choose to spend it on. Placing this limit on yourself is a form of financial discipline and will help get you the most out of your paycheck.

50/30/20 Rule

According to the 50/30/20 rule, experts recommend reserving 50% of your budget for essentials such as rent and groceries, 30% for discretionary spending, and a minimum of 20% to be put into your savings. However, this system simply does not work for everyone. Your finances are personal, so you need to create a budget that works best for you.

If you have a high income, it’d be wise to spend less on discretionary items and save a larger percentage of your income. If you find yourself in the opposite situation, saving 20% of your paycheck might be stretching it too thin or currently impossible. However, don’t beat yourself up if you can’t put away 20% each month. Just remember, saving something is always better than saving nothing.

The most important question to ask yourself is, what are you saving for? Do you want to buy a house? Do you want to build an emergency fund? Are you trying to pay off debt? If you have an endpoint to look forward to, you will be encouraged and motivated to accomplish your savings goal.

Pay Yourself First Method

Pay yourself first is a budgeting technique that is as simple as the title states. Take your net monthly income total, subtract your true essentials and your savings goals and the remainder of the paycheck is what you have left for discretionary spending.

For example, say your net monthly income is $4,000. Your bills like rent, utilities, food, phone bill, medical, car insurance, car payment, student loans, and credit card bill equate to $1,800. You want to save an average of $900 a month for your vacation fund, emergency fund, debt, and a new TV. Subtract the $1,800 + $900 from your $4,000 net income. You have $1,300 left for morning coffee, happy hour, and other frivolous expenses. You can set up a direct deposit with your employer so that your wages go directly into a savings account. This ensures that money is put away every payday, first.

Start a Money Pool and Automated Savings

To ensure you are on track with your financial goals, you can set up a Money Pool, like the one we offer at Marygold & Co for each of your goals. These automated and FDIC-insured savings accounts allow you to set a specific goal amount and the frequency you want the money transferred into your savings. Customers are also able to instantly track their savings progress anytime, anywhere from their smartphones and prioritize their goals.

This saving option can be a great way to build an emergency savings fund or track progress towards a specific goal, like a new mountain bike. Separating each of your savings goals from your spending money will give you the financial discipline needed to help you save more.

Save More, Spend Less

This one is obvious. However, habits do get expensive. The daily coffee runs, $15 lunches, and after-work drinks can add up very fast. If you want to keep more of your paycheck, it’s best to find areas in your life where you can be more frugal. Here are some examples:

Try preparing food ahead of time, reducing the amount you spend on takeout.
Grocery shop with a list, and don’t stray from it. With a list, it’s easy to know exactly what you need instead of aimlessly wandering around the grocery store and picking up unnecessary purchases. Shopping with a list can also help you save money by helping you waste less food.
Stop emotional and impulsive shopping, especially online. If you have your credit card data saved online, you will be more tempted to overspend. Removing this shortcut can lessen the temptation to make an impulse purchase.
Cancel unnecessary subscriptions or services. Go through your monthly statement and see if there is anything you can remove from your monthly bill. If there is a streaming service you don’t use or an insurance service you don’t need, consider canceling it.
Financial experts suggest using your debit card more often than a credit card. It’s wiser to spend the money you actually have if it’s really necessary. Spending with a debit card will keep you accountable for your purchases. It will also prevent you from getting a credit card bill at the end of the month that you can’t pay off – leaving you penalties and debt.

Turn Up Your Contribution Rate

An important step to reducing taxes and building your retirement fund is to contribute to a tax-advantaged retirement plan. Find out if your employer offers a 401(k) plan that you can contribute to.

First things first, you must find out what your annual limits on contributions are. If you’re not already contributing the maximum allowed, consider increasing your contribution rate. You can contribute to your 401(k) tax-deferred, which means you pay no income tax until you withdraw distributions.

Don’t wait for your next paycheck to start saving. You can’t get ahead if you don’t start now.

Simplifying your saving techniques by starting an automated Money Pool with Marygold & Co. will help you organize and create consistency with your spending and savings – while allowing you to keep track of your financial goals.

Don’t let impulsive spending and a lack of savings push your paycheck to its brink. With a proper plan and good discipline, you’ll be saving successfully in no time.

NFC Payment

Have you ever seen that icon on your credit card with frequency wave-like lines, similar to the WiFi icon, but sideways? That means your card is enabled for NFC payment. But what exactly does that mean?

What is NFC?

Near Field Communication is a feature available on most modern phones. As the name suggests, NFC is a method of wireless data transfer. It detects and allows technology in the vicinity to share data without an internet connection.

How Does NFC Work?

NFC may power key cards or fobs, pet microchips, and even public transit cards.

NFC is more simple to use. It is a successor to radio frequency identification. The NFC chip in your card is part of a wireless link. It is activated by another chip. Once that happens, small bits of data flow between the two devices. The transfer occurs when your card is held an inch or less from the other chip.

Advantages of NFC

There’s a reason we’re seeing this technology more and more in our everyday lives.

As FIS.com notes, there are four main advantages of NFC payment.

NFC is easy

Using NFC is simple.

You don’t have to recall a passcode since it doesn’t require a pin. With near field communications, all you need to make a payment is to hold up your phone, your NFC-equipped card, key fob, or bracelet near the POS terminal and you’re done.

When compared to EMV cards that require entering the card, waiting, and typing in your pin code, NFC cards are a one-step, quick process.

NFC is fast

As consumers, we are attracted to businesses where we don’t have to wait.

Using NFC, your transaction takes a fraction of the time it would take to pay cash or with a traditional credit card. This is good news for both customers and businesses.

Transactions are faster with near-field communication. Checkout lines are shorter, fewer staff members are required and customers move through purchase and payment rapidly.

There’s nothing to remember

NFC works automatically. No pairing code is needed.

With NFC, the only thing you need to carry is your smartphone, card, or NFC-enabled item.

NFC is energy efficient

The chips in NFC require only minimal amounts of energy to link up.

These low or passive energy chips are much more power-efficient than other wireless communication.

NFC is physically safer

As we deal with COVID-19 and the spread of other viruses, people are more sensitive than ever when it comes to touching things.

Near-field communication is a safe, contactless payment option.

You simply hold the NFC chip near the terminal and the transaction is complete. Having a means of payment that does not involve human touch has been reassuring during these difficult times.

NFC is more secure

Many people fear that something as fast and easy as NFC isn’t as secure as requiring a PIN or a signature at payment. If customers don’t trust the payment option, they won’t use it.

NFC signals are encrypted and transmitted only in close proximity. Meaning, the signal can’t be hacked by someone who is even a few feet away.

Security protection built into smartphones makes NFC payments even more secure if the transaction is made not with a card but with your phone. Thus, using your phone as your NFC chip, there is an additional layer of security.

Issuers also place lower limits on NFC transactions (example $100 max) to protect against lost or stolen cards and fraudulent transaction attempts. Some even allow you to freeze and unfreeze the NFC contactless payment option for additional security.

NFC increases customer satisfaction

Because transactions are faster, checkout lines are shorter. The result is increased customer satisfaction with the business. Ease of transaction makes customers happy. They will return to buy at this business. When they are assured NFC is a very secure way to pay it adds to customer satisfaction.

NFC encourages consumer spending

Since customers can check out faster because of tap and pay, those who might make a purchase are encouraged to do so. If there are long lineups at the movies, the grocery store, a restaurant, a gas station, or the bookstore, potential buyers will abandon their goods and leave.

NFC payment translates to a pleasant business experience. Happier customers and more efficient operations are what make buyers purchase and return to buy again. Be careful not to let your spending get out of control, though!

NFC is easy to implement

More businesses are starting to implement near-field communication as well as NFC-enabled payment terminals. Most new payment equipment now contains near-field communication technology. Setup is instantaneous.

Disadvantages of NFC

Livewire writer Priya Viswanathan points out that although there are many advantages to NFC, there is a downside.

For some businesses, implementing NFC technology may be just too expensive. Large retailers can afford the hardware and software upgrades. Some stores and shops may take a longer time to acquire new devices.

As with any change, there is a level of mistrust until consumers are assured NFC is safe and easy.

How do NFC and EMV Differ?

EMV means Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (the 1994 founders) and commonly refers to the smart chip in debit and credit cards. EMV uses a chip embedded in a card instead of a magnetic strip. Chances are you’ve probably seen it being implemented on newer cards. The EMV chip is much more secure than the magnetic strip.

NFC chip stands for near field communication technology and is typically embedded inside debit and credit cards, smartphones, or smartwatches. This chip allows data to be read by a POS terminal without inserting your card creating a contactless payment. You simply hold the NFC enabled item near the terminal and boom, payment accepted. No pin, no swipe.

The NFC “card” might not be a card at all. It could also be a key fob, a bracelet, a phone, a watch, or any other object a chip can be inserted in.

Many businesses have machines that can accept both EMV or NFC. However, some transaction terminals may take only one payment option.

Examples of NFC Payments

Welcome to the world of touchless technology. Wherever there is a POS terminal that accepts NFC transactions, you can tap and pay.

This might include a restaurant, a coffee shop, a taxi or subway ride, buying a concert ticket, or getting refreshments for that concert.

You can pay a toll, purchase a subway ticket, pay for coffee, or get snacks from a vending machine all with a contactless tap.

Why Choose Marygold & Co.?

Marygold & Co. provides you with NFC Mastercard* debit cards to enable contactless payment. Additionally, our app enables contactless payments from your Android phone, and clients have access to NFC-enabled key fobs and silicone bracelets. Support for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay wallets are also coming in late Spring of 2021.

We have gone to great lengths to ensure customer security is the priority for contactless payment cards.

Lower limits are set on purchases and
New technology also allows you to freeze your NFC chip. You can unfreeze it at any time.
You can also lower or raise the purchase maximums whenever you wish for the NFC-equipped card, bracelet, key fob, watch, or smartphone.

As part of our customer service plan, Marygold & Co. cards have both NFC and EMV capabilities.

What Does it Mean to be FDIC Insured?

If you’ve ever opened a savings or checking account at a banking institution, you’ve likely stumbled across the phrase “FDIC insured”, but what does that mean for you and your assets?

What Does it Mean to be FDIC Insured?

The term FDIC-insured means that your banking institution, whether brick-and-mortar or online, is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

If your bank is federally insured, more specifically, backed by the FDIC, your money remains protected in the event your banking institution goes under. Accounts covered by FDIC insurance are covered for up to $250,000, which means the FDIC pays customers of failed bank associations up to this insured limit.

Although bank failure in the U.S. has been particularly rare in recent years, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Choosing a financial institution with FDIC insurance, such as Marygold & Co. is one of the best ways to ensure protection for your money.

The History of the FDIC

The FDIC is an independent federal agency established in 1933 by the U.S government in response to the bank failures that occurred during the Great Depression. Triggered by the stock market crash of 1929, people quickly rushed to banks to withdraw their assets, which further plummeted the already broken financial sector. When banks couldn’t pay customers back their deposits, Americans were quick to lose confidence in the banking system.

The main purpose of the FDIC was to promote public confidence in the banking system and to minimize the economic impact of a possible bank failure. To this day, the independent agency provides federal protections for the money customers deposit in banks. Since its founding in 1933, the FDIC claims that not one penny of insured deposits has been lost.

How Does the FDIC Work?

When you deposit your money at the bank, they then invest that money to earn revenue. These investments include loans to other clients, stocks, and other types of investment. Banks tend to play it on the safer side when investing. However, each bank is different, and with any investment comes the chance of losing money.

If a financial institution’s investment results in a big enough loss, they might be unable to meet the demands of customers who want to withdraw their money. When this bank failure occurs, the FDIC steps in.

What Does FDIC Insurance Cover?

If your bank goes under and is unable to return your cash deposits, the FDIC will reimburse you the amount of your held assets, even if the bank completely becomes, oddly enough, bankrupt.

The FDIC covers your common depositor’s accounts, but it’s important to note that not all financial products are covered. Here is what’s covered and what’s not:

Covered accounts:

Checking Accounts
Savings Accounts
Money Market Accounts
Certificates of Deposit
Retirement Accounts
Trust Accounts

Ineligible for insurance:

Mutual Funds
Annuities
Life Insurance Policies
Stock & Bond Investments
Municipal Securities
Safety deposit boxes and their content

FDIC Limits

The standard coverage limit is $250,000 per account holder in each ownership category included in the list of covered accounts above.

If you hold accounts in more than one ownership category, you may be qualified for a coverage larger than $250,000. For example, a couple with a joint FDIC-insured savings account are eligible for insurance up to $250,000 each. Additionally, if one of those individuals is the holder of a separate FDIC-insured depository account, that individual is also entitled up to the insured federal limit for that account.

Where Does the Money Come From?

The FDIC is funded by premiums paid for by financial institutions in return for deposit insurance coverage. Virtually every bank and savings institution in the country is insured by the FDIC, totaling trillions of dollars in deposits within the U.S financial system.

What Else Does the FDIC Do?

In addition to protecting cash deposits, the FDIC also provides oversight for banks and thrift institutions to ensure activities promote safe banking environments. They are also responsible for sourcing other banks to take over the accounts of failed institutions.

Does the FDIC Protect You From Identity Theft?

Although customers are insured up to $250,000 on eligible depositor’s accounts, the FDIC does not protect against identity theft or the losses that accompany it. To protect yourself against identity theft and fraud, it’s best to practice safe online banking methods such as using a secure network and having a strong password.

Safe and Covered

Marygold & Co. delivers a digital alternative to physical branch banking that allows clients to control their finances and earn interest anytime, anyplace, and with no minimums or credit checks.

Additionally, FDIC-insured debit and savings accounts through Marygold & Co. are available to anyone in the United States, helping clients all over the country send, receive, spend and save money securely and safely through their mobile devices.

Customized Security

The Appeal of Online Finance

Simplifying your financial life on an app offers unique opportunities that a physical branch can not match.

At any time, any day, any device, and anywhere in the world, you can access your account balances, transaction history, transfer funds, pay bills, receive customized notifications and set up automatic savings and security tools.

As technology advances, the convenience of online banking helps clients save both time and money.

In fact, many of us celebrate not having to drive to a physical location to retrieve money or deal with transactions. According to a 2019 American Bankers Association survey, 73% of Americans access their bank accounts online or through a mobile app. The future of online banking will continue to evolve and it’s important to know what that means for security and usability for banking customers, including features like turning your debit card on and off.

Why Security is Critical to Online Banking

The future of online banking relies tremendously on the security measures implemented. First and most importantly, financial institutions must manifest and maintain trust for their clients to ensure their finances and assets are secure. Secondly, online banking must be a user-friendly experience with everyday accessibility from anywhere.

As technology grows, fraud and data breaches are becoming more commonplace, and thus advanced security for online banking is imperative. The number of new malware variants posed for mobile increased 54 percent in 2017, according to Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report 2018. In order to protect our most valuable assets, reliable security is of vital importance.

Lost, Stolen, and Compromised Cards

It is easy to believe you’ll never be a casualty of identity theft or credit card fraud as the prevalence of this type of crime seems to be a rare occurrence. In actuality, fraud is a growing worldwide problem, especially within the United States. With losses to credit card fraud topping $24 billion dollars in 2018 alone. Almost 40% of that reported card fraud occurred in America. And between 2017 and 2018, card fraud increased by nearly 20%.

According to credit reporting firm Experian, between 2017-2018, identity theft made up 15% of card fraud, new account fraud increased by 35%, and takeover of existing account fraud increased nearly 25%.

Because of the open nature of the Internet, online banking is inherently subject to virus attacks, unauthorized access, identity theft, and fraudulent transactions.

Cardholders need security measures that will thwart fraudulent actions.

Locking Debit Cards with On and Off Switch

Not long ago, cardholders whose card was either lost, stolen, or compromised, had to spend a great deal of time contacting the bank in order to have their card frozen for future transactions. Now having the ability to lock and unlock your card immediately on your mobile phone provides peace of mind and convenient security when you want it.

Instead of dealing with the hassle of going into the bank to cancel a card, order a new one, and then wait for the teller to issue you a temporary card or make a cash withdrawal, Marygold & Co. introduces the convenient option to simply control transactions from your debit card with a lock/unlock switch. Essentially, this feature grants you the ability to “freeze” your card until you’re able to straighten your debit card mishap or when you don’t plan to use it. Nothing is worse than canceling your card and then finding it on the car floor.

Know Your Customer

Traditional brick-and-mortar banks require you to apply for an account in person, checking your identification and confirming you are you when opening an account.

Online banking solutions typically leverage basic Know Your Customer (KYC) required information including name, address, social security number, date of birth, email, phone, and other specific data to confirm a new customer’s identity when opening an account. Unfortunately, more and more of that information has become compromised and for sale on the Dark Web.

To protect potential victims from having an account fraudulently opened in their name, additional authentication methods are highly recommended for opening online banking accounts.

Marygold & Co. introduces advanced technology that verifies your government-issued identification and the picture matches your selfie taken in the onboarding process. This technology uses liveness checks and a biometric comparison to make sure you are you before opening an account.

Assuming All Is Well and Not Setting Up Security Measures

You’d be surprised how many people let days, weeks, even months pass by without seeing the activity on their traditional savings and/or checking accounts. App-led financial accounts can keep nefarious activity at bay by sending you a text about all activity instantaneously. When your finances are top of mind without thinking twice, you are able to monitor your accounts more closely, be aware of suspect transactions occurring and immediately inform your financial institution of suspect transactions. If you don’t have security alerts set up on your phone or email, identity thieves are able to use your information 75% longer.

Having Predictable and/or Unchanging Passwords

It’s easy to use the same password forever and for everything. It’s comfortable to use that password for several cards or services. But, it won’t seem like such a good idea when identity thieves can easily access all your cards and accounts after discovering the password used unlocks access to all of the accounts. Don’t use the same password. Change your passwords often. Write down the new ones and store them in a safe place.

Marygold & Co.’s Customized Security

Marygold & Co. is offering an innovative online banking experience with customized security at the forefront of their services – the future of online banking.

How Does Early Direct Deposit Work?

Life and surprise expenses don’t always align with payday. It is important to be proactive in order to protect yourself (and your bank account) from unforeseen circumstances. Marygold & Co. banking services enable you to get your direct deposit paid up to two days earlier, certainly helping with those unexpected bills and expenses. But how does early direct deposit work?

What is Early Direct Deposit?

Early direct deposit allows you to access your paycheck funds faster than most traditional banks.

The overwhelming majority of Americans receive a direct deposit of their paycheck. Depending on your payroll company, direct deposits are sent via ACH to your bank account up to two days early along with a designated posting date. Most institutions hold these funds until the paycheck posting date while actually earning interest on those funds.

Marygold & Co. will credit customer direct deposits on the date funds are received providing access to pay up to two days early.

Advantages of Early Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is already fast, convenient and the safest way to get paid. Getting paid early makes it that much better!

With early direct deposit, if your Marygold & Co. account receives your paycheck early, so do you.

Setting up direct deposit is easy and receiving your paycheck early with Marygold & Co. is automatic. With direct deposit, you can truly “set it and forget it.” Once you set it up, you’ll never again worry about accessing your paycheck funds.

With early direct deposit, your money can be earning interest up to two days earlier. This interest affords you more spending power for free.

How Do You Get Started?

Fill out your employer’s Direct Deposit Forms.

Marygold & Co. customers can automatically access these forms for over 80,000 employers right from their app.

Send Payment Instructions

Ask your employer to send payroll instructions to their bank.

Pass Payment Information

Once your employer’s bank receives payment instructions it sends these data files to an Automated Clearing House. This starts a bank-to-bank electronic transfer from the employer’s bank to yours.

Organize Payment Information

The Automated Clearing House will organize all of your payments so that each payment is correct and sent to your bank.

Process the Payment

Once your bank receives its payment instructions, it starts the payment process.

Is Direct Deposit Safe?

Yes! Direct deposit is an electronic payment.

It actually passes through fewer hands than other deposit methods.

CreditRepair.com notes that direct deposit is the safest way to receive funds.

The United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank dispel myths that point to a lack of safety of direct deposits.

Does Direct Deposit Work for Weekend Payments?

Direct deposit processes on business days. This excludes weekends and bank holidays.

What Happens if my Payday is a Holiday?

Direct deposits are usually paid on the banking day before the holiday. So, if Christmas fell on a Friday, your direct deposit would most likely occur on the Thursday before.

Can My Direct Deposit Go Into My Savings Account?

Your direct deposit can typically be directed into the account of your choice and/or be split between accounts, like Marygold & Co. Money Pools.

How does Early Direct Deposit Differ from a Wire Transfer?

Wire transfers cost $35 nationally and $45 internationally. Direct deposits are free and are processed via Automated Clearing House (ACH).

Fastspring.com explains the difference between the two. Direct deposits are processed overnight. Wire transfers are processed and deposited instantly, however international wire transfers do take a little longer. So, early direct deposit is much faster than direct deposit but not as fast as a wire transfer.

Marygold & Co. Early Direct Deposit

Banking with Marygold & Co. gives you the most for your hard-earned dollars. Marygold & Co. offers fast, convenient mobile banking that includes early direct deposit and interest-earning APY.

The Future of Mobile Banking

Gone are the days of having to rush to the bank after work to deposit your check or get cash.

Cell phones do it all nowadays, including saving you time from having to go to the bank! The future of mobile banking is here, but even that technology continues to evolve and improve.

We have seen how mobile banking has shaped the way people around the world manage their money. Nowadays, it’s safe to say that the majority of Americans use some form of mobile or online banking as a way to access their accounts. Like online banking, it allows you to safely transfer funds, pay the bills, find ATMs, and find branch locations – all from the convenience of your mobile device.

The last decade has shown us that while mobile banking is relatively new, the trend is moving away from physical locations. Banks are changing and, as a result, the way we manage our finances is evolving. Companies like Marygold & Co. are looking for ways to adapt so that customers who want new features and services can stay “on the go.”

How Mobile Banking is Evolving

Considering how far mobile banking has come, what does the future of the fintech industry look like? Let’s take a look at the evolution of banking in the past to better understand where mobile banking and the industry are heading.

Drive-Thru Teller Service

The first real breakthrough was the “drive-thru.” People no longer had to park and walk in to possibly wait in line. They could accomplish everything they needed to do from the comfort of their car.

ATMs

Next was the Automated Teller Machine, aka the ATM. This saved both the customer and the banks a lot of time. Customers can arrive and deposit/withdraw whenever they need to. In turn, fewer tellers/bankers are standing around waiting for the customer.

The Internet

The biggest game-changer was the Internet. Being able to view your account remotely opened up the door for mobile banking to come in and introduce a plethora of new features. Customers have come to expect highly-personalized and engaging experiences.

Customer Expectations

There are plenty of emerging technologies mobile banking has introduced. Marygold & Co. will not only meet customer expectations but create a better customer experience. More convenience, more support, and more features. Some of the following are examples of how mobile banking has evolved and what to expect from future mobile banking:

More Security Features

With the emergence of new technologies comes the possibilities of new risks. Companies like Marygold & Co. have found a way to ensure your money is both safe and accessible. Having the ability to not only view what purchases you’ve made but also allow certain transactions depending on location help keep customers mind at ease. With that comes the ability to restrict it from being used internationally.

Security features like these allow for customers to feel safe and in control. Another helpful feature is the ability to toggle misplaced cards on/off. With a simple swipe, you have the ability to either find your card or avoid a phone call to automated machines. Having control like this can mitigate the risk of fraudulent charges.

Money (Saving) Pools

Marygold & Co. have improved on the idea of Money Pools and combined them with saving accounts. This can allow for both, short/long term financial goals to be met with reduced risk.

They allow for a more sophisticated investment structure – meaning you can earn more than a basic savings account while being FDIC insured. This is critical for anyone with long-term and short-term financial goals.

Payment Devices

Banking had become truly mobile and moving towards a more efficient future. Not having to carry cash or even a wallet is now an option.

We are now at the point where the clothes and accessories you wear include payment options. It’s as simple as waving or tapping any wearable to make a transaction.

Reaching for a card or phone is an extra step that technology has the ability to eliminate. NFC technology (Near-Field Communication) is a step towards the future. The way it works is deceptively simple, using short-range radio waves to communicate compatible devices. This technology has been used for a while in a variety of different industries. Now it’s pushing the needle forward on how banking handles payments.

Payroll is Easy to Receive

If you think debit and credit cards are a thing of the past, wait till you hear about Marygold & Co.’s direct deposit features. Having the ability to get paid as soon as the date hits without needing to go to the bank is one of the most innovative features. For decades, people have had to deal with having to wait to cash in on their hard-earned money. Your employer having the ability to pay instantly comes with all the advantages and no downside. It’s extremely simple to set up, which also makes it fast. On top of that, you eliminate the risk of stolen or lost checks. What really sets this apart is that it offers incentives like waiving monthly fees, meaning it’s free. Marigold & Co. does not charge you to sign up for direct deposit.

Send and Receive Money Seamlessly

Employers sending you money directly isn’t the only innovation. Receiving and sending payments from anyone with a smartphone is now available from the palm of your hands. Anyone with a cell phone or email has the ability to make mobile payments in an instant. It is safe and has added layers of security. Biometric scanners and face recognition allows for secure and seamless transactions between friends, family, landlords, and more.

Marygold & Co.

Enter: Marygold & Co. Now money doesn’t grow on trees, but Marygold & Co’s banking app features will make your money “flower.” That is to say that by using Marygold & Co, you’ll get the most out of your money. The Marygold & Co app gives you access to your money from the tips of your fingers. It is convenient and innovative, giving you access to many of the new features mobile banking has brought into the finance world.

As a recap, here are some of the benefits you can receive:

FDIC insured accounts
No-fee ATMs
Interest-earning savings account
Easy money transfers
Get paid early
Customized security
