Over the last few months we’ve introduced our STK platform, which enables instant cryptocurrency payments at point of sale. Our tokens are now live in the market and we’re actively working towards our development roadmap to launch a beta platform by early summer.

The first implementation of the STK platform will be within the STACK app, so today we’re taking a closer look at STACK and how it will work with STK for a full-service solution to money management.

STACK is a new personal finance platform, built on the idea that using your money should be free. Universally accessible, STACK is an alternative to traditional banking that allows you to store your money safely, access it instantly and transact with it anywhere, in any currency right from your smartphone, with zero fees. STACK is an app, built from the ground up for mobile and designed to provide smarter financial services, so you can reach your goals faster and make sure your money is always there for what matters most.

In addition to all the same features as a traditional checkings account, STACK has a series of additional benefits like real-time rewards, financial iQ and simple savings tools. Whether you’re saving for a one-way ticket to Thailand or your first year of university, STACK makes it fun to manage your money, like it should be. We know it’s not how much cash you have, but what you do with it that counts so STACK is designed to help you set goals and reach them.

With STACK and STK, you’ll be able to spend, save and share your money anytime, anywhere and in any currency. Here’s a closer look at some of the ways STACK will help you manage your money:

Auto STACK Up: STACK makes saving simple with an automatic withdrawal on each transaction that supports your goals. You can choose from $1, $5 or $10 which we’ll put in a separate savings wallet so it’s out of sight, out of mind.

Relevant Rewards: STACK rewards are made-to-measure, not one-size-fits all. STACK tailors offers to your unique spending preferences, so you’ll see offers from your favourite retailers, restaurants and merchants. STACK members will have access to exclusive experiences like all-access festival tickets, travel adventures and front-row tickets for sports and music events across Canada.

Goals: Whatever you’re saving for, STACK makes it easy to set goals and reach them. Set a goal, choose a photo, pick a deadline and off you go. We’ll help by monitoring your progress, sending reminders and saving you money everyday through STACK Up.

Financial iQ: Your money has a lot to tell you. STACK looks at your spending habits, savings goals and other usage data to determine how you can spend smarter and save more. Our machine learning and AI integration let us categorize your spending so you can get a better idea of where your money is going. Push notifications let you understand immediately how your choices are impacting your goals and overall financial health.

Safe & Secure: STACK is serious about safety with best-in-class partners and leading security safeguards. STACK uses the Mastercard payment network, which provides Purchase Protection on every transaction.

STACK is currently in private beta, and scheduled to launch publicly in Canada in a couple of months. You can read more about STACK, sign up for the latest progress reports or join the beta waitlist at www.getstack.ca.
