MemoryBank Opens Its Digital Doors, Offering Consumers Exceptional Earning Potential from Dollar One

National All-Digital Banking Platform Debuts with Its High Interest
Yielding All-in-One EarnMore
1 Account

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MemoryBank, a national branchless banking platform, opened its “digital
doors” at www.mymemorybank.com.

Born from extensive consumer research and developed for today’s
digitally savvy, on-the-go consumers, MemoryBank
accounts will infuse industry-leading earning power1 into
every transaction. The EarnMore1 account,
MemoryBank’s first product, offers a 1% Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
plus an additional 0.5% on all deposits for the first year to qualifying
customers, with no minimum balance to begin earning2.

The MemoryBank brand name connects the literal idea of digital storage
with the positive emotional memories collected over a lifetime — linking
the notion that earning more on every dollar while saving time doing it
provides an opportunity to enjoy “more for life.”

As a division of Republic Bank & Trust Company, MemoryBank
also provides its account holders the peace of mind that comes with
knowing it is a Member of FDIC with the highest possible A+ rating from
the Better Business Bureau.

“The transformation in the banking industry is not just about digital.
It’s about providing real differentiation in both product offering and
consumer earning power through higher deposit rates and lower loan
rates,” said Andrew Varga, Republic’s Chief Strategy & Innovation
Officer. “By providing customers across the country real value from
digital banking, we can de-commoditize our products and put extra
dollars in our customers’ pockets. Our research showed that bank
customers want every one of their dollars to work harder for them, and
with EarnMore’s1 earned rate that is 30 times higher3
than the national average interest checking rate, we are meeting that
need.”

In addition to a better return on their investments, convenience scored
very high on bank customers’ wish lists, prompting MemoryBank
to make EarnMore1 an all-in-one bank account that earns more
like a money market account or certificate of deposit, but with the
utility, liquidity and flexibility of a checking account. MemoryBank
calls it “no hassle banking” as EarnMore1 eliminates the need
to move money from one account to another, and can handle unlimited
transactions every day—all while not charging fees on normal day-to-day
banking2.

Varga also said, “What we didn’t want to do was rollout a digital
banking platform that essentially offers its customers the same benefits
as a traditional brick and mortar bank or the handful of existing
digital banks. That’s out there already. MemoryBank will do better.”

Additional EarnMore1 account features include biometric
security4, personalized MemoryAlert notifications, smart
phone deposit, online bill pay and PopMoney®, which allows customers to
send and receive money without cash or checks5. Even opening
an EarnMore1 account is hassle-free—it can take as little as
10 minutes to apply using a smart phone5 or computer.

With EarnMore1, there’s no minimum balance to earn its high
interest rate, and no fees for normal day-to-day banking2. To
qualify for the high interest rate, customers just do the things they
are already accustomed to doing every day, like using their debit card,
direct depositing paychecks, and viewing their statements online2.

MemoryBank focuses on the “overlooked” generation

From a marketing perspective, Generation-X customers – born between 1965
and 1982 – are an often-ignored group, pushed aside by Millennials, the
target customer for most digital products and services. But MemoryBank
sees Gen-Xers as the sweet spot for an EarnMore1 account.

Gen-X customers are in their most active earning, spending, investing
and planning years, and can benefit most from products like EarnMore1.
They are living and working longer than any prior generation, and they
take care of the generations that came before them (their parents) and
come after them (their children) in ways no prior generation has.

“The research kept pointing us in the direction of the Gen-X consumer,”
said Varga. “The demands on their time and personal revenues make
EarnMore1 the perfect account thanks to ease of use and
exceptional interest return. Moreover, they’re digital and mobile savvy.
Not only will we not overlook Gen-Xers, we’ll engage with them with
promotional and advertising tactics including mobile, digital and Social
Media, and traditional media including television and outdoor.”

Additional features include:

Universal Access: MemoryBank clients have nearly universal ways
to access, deposit and use their money every minute of the day, every
day with advanced digital capabilities and over 75,000 surcharge-free
ATMs6 in the U.S. That’s more ATMs than each of the five
largest U.S. banks offer7. Plus, our customers have access to
over 10,000 international surcharge-free ATMs6.

No-Nonsense Customer Service: Live client service team available
7:30 AM EST– 8:00 PM EST Monday through Friday by live chat5
or phone.

Cash Back Rewards: Customers can use their MemoryBank MasterCard®
debit card to get cash back on purchases at favorite retailers. Cash
rewards are deposited directly into their MemoryBank account8.

Password-free login: Eyeprint ID™ and fingerprint ID4

selfie. Customers can take a picture of a check with a mobile device to
