Frequently Asked Questions

Accrew is the first member-owned banking application, where members own the profits and have the same upside as shareholders of other major banks. Accrew provides simple tools for members to manage all of their financial accounts with one app with the ability to view balances, track transactions, and transfer to/from all accounts. Accrew is building the banking community of the future where members are owners; available on both iOS and Android.

Accrew's mission is to truly align with the interests of its members, creating far better rewards, features, and rates. Better rewards by receiving ownership of the profits from the company you bank. Coming soon, better rates by providing FDIC high-yield accounts and easy access to target high-yield accounts. Where members bypass the bank and go directly to the market to invest in short-term securities for higher yields. Better features, instead of having 5 different apps to manage 5 different accounts, you can connect all your accounts to the Accrew app to view account balances, track transactions, and transfer to/from all your accounts.

Accrew generates profits for its members from interchange, whenever a member swipes their card, the merchant always pays an interchange fee based on a percentage of the transaction. Also, Accrew generates revenue from net interest margin or a small portion of the APY on members' accounts. The best part, Accrew has set up a legal entity for members. Currently, the members own 20% of Accrew while receiving all the profits from the company but in the future, members will own 100% of Accrew. Think of all the possibilities when members can wield the profits from their bank to provide better returns, buy/invest in companies with more profits/free perks, donate to charities or disasters, or anything up to the imagination of the members; it's your banking community!

Accrew is available for US citizens who have a valid SSN and over 18 years old. The Accrew card works all over the world but is only available to members living in the United States.

Accrew has very forgiving fees with no monthly fees, no transaction fees, no app fees, and no lost/stolen card fees.

Remember Accrew's Members are the owners and pass-through fees can eat the profits that are distributed to the members.
