“Unlike other banking products, Jiko isn't selling your money to other customers.”
“When you open an account with Jiko it doesn’t hold your deposits itself on its balance sheet and immediately converts them into T-Bills. That means that you then get the returns from these T-Bills.”
“A kind of spendable Treasury bill, where customers’ deposits are automatically swept into a brokerage account and converted into treasuries which, in theory, can deliver a higher return than typical bank interest.”
“Another approach, taken most recently by Jiko, a challenger bank that sweeps deposits into Treasury Bills (...) is acquiring banks outright to become chartered financial institutions.”
“Jiko raises $40 million to become a most unusual challenger bank.”
“Jiko is a very different kind of bank that invests consumer deposits directly into U.S. treasury bills, allowing them to reap a higher yield.”
“The Jiko platform is unique in that it doesn't hold customer deposits, but instead keeps customers directly invested in Treasury Bills, which are backed by the U.S. government.”
“That U.S. regulators blessed the Jiko transaction is significant mostly because of how fundamentally different it is: It’s a consumer bank that doesn’t revolve around holding deposits (...) Rather than ceding the yield on those investments to the typical bank, which takes deposits and buys Treasuries or lends out the money, the Jiko customer keeps it.”
“Jiko has a very different business model from Varo and other challenger banks.”
