Our Challenges

The bank’s challenge is to become the top-of-wallet payment provider for our customer base and to attract new customers by offering a rewards system that differentiates us from our competitors. We have identified three potential areas we would like to investigate as a means of increasing card usage.  

1. Flexible reward system where a customer can:   

• Rollup transactions to an account/charity/another person’s account and change where the money is going whenever they choose. 
• Provide cashback rewards with the same ability to distribute funds as the rollups. 
• Allow sending of money directly to another person or charity.   
• Track Charity payments for tax purposes   

2. Proper transaction type can be automatically chosen for the customer rather than requiring the customer to select ACH/WIRE/RTP/Internal Transfer/Bill Pay/Debit Card.

3. Additional Benefits for electronic transactions as incentive to use BayCoast for Apple Pay, Venmo, Samsung pay, etc.
