Prize-Linked Banking
Piñata Pay is a prize-linked checking account that rewards account holders every time they save and spend. Account holders receive one ticket in a weekly raffle for every dollar deposited into their account - the more they save, the more tickets they receive. Similar to a credit card, account holders also receive points every time they spend. Our weekly raffles give account holders the opportunity to win $500-$1,000 prizes throughout the month.
