Yotta

Yotta is a financial technology startup that operates in the banking sector, offering an innovative approach to personal finance management. It serves over 700,000 members who are looking for ways to boost their finances. Yotta is not a traditional bank, but it partners with FDIC-insured banks to hold customer funds securely.

The company's primary offering is its I-Bonds Bucket, which provides an annual percentage yield (APY) of 6.89%. This is a type of savings account where the interest you earn is based on the amount you deposit. The higher the deposit, the more interest you earn.

Yotta also offers a unique feature called the Daily Drawing Sweepstakes. Customers can win cash prizes based on the numbers they match each day. The prizes range from $2,000 to a grand prize of $1 million. Regardless of whether customers win or not, they never lose their initial deposit.

Yotta's business model is similar to traditional banks in that it earns money through interest on deposits. The partner banks lend out the deposited funds and earn revenue, a portion of which is paid to Yotta as interest. Yotta then shares most of this interest with its customers through the sweepstakes, keeping a small portion as profit.

In addition, Yotta earns money through interchange revenue on card spend. When customers use their credit or debit cards, the merchant pays a fee to the card network and the issuing bank. Yotta receives a portion of this fee, which powers its Boxes and card rewards.

Lastly, Yotta generates revenue through customer purchases of Tokens to play its freemium game.
