@atikovi This may be the issue “PurePoint Financial is a division of MUFG Union Bank, N.A.”
“MUFG Union Bank, d.b.a. as UnionBank, is wholly owned by MUFG pending regulatory approval to complete the sale to U.S. Bancorp”
"it now anticipates the bank’s sale to U.S. Bancorp will be completed in the second half of 2022."
U.S. Bancorp will probably close Purepoint, in my opinion.

Update on one of my earlier "different opportunity"
Enzo is another fintech

CIBC Agility Savings Account now 1.27% but it won’t let you pull money from an external account. You can only go from the external account into CIBC.

In March 2021 I made a substantial withdrawal from CBIC initiated from an external account. Worked then, don’t know if rules have changed,

@craig10x

And i see it does say Direct Deposit…Did it work for you this month (June) as well?

My June transfer was scheduled for the 15th.
I moved it to Monday the 13th so we can see what happens next week !

@craig10x Astra is slow
Scheduled on May 18, showed up on May 24 as follows
"May 24 Astra Inc. Direct Deposit $25.00"
and my SoFi rate immediately went to 1.25%

Update: did another transaction on the 23rd that showed up on the 26th.
The 6-day transaction above included a weekend where the 3-day transaction was on weekdays.
Really shouldn’t make a difference but it’s a plausible explanation ?

Lending Club 1.05%

"We’re excited to share that as of tomorrow, June 10, 2022,

@craig10x I can only base my opinion on personal experience. Easy to link my accounts with Plaid.
Did two test transactions from two accounts that work perfectly.

Set up my automated routine early in the month so if in the event it fails I have time to do a manual push.

There’s plenty of other accounts that are pushing 1.25% without jumping through hoops, so I do understand your point.

If I didn’t already have SoFi I would, as a new customer, use Astra to push $5,000 in the get the $300 funding bonus.

Definitely making more money from bank, credit card, and brokerage bonuses than from these tepid interest rates.
Collected $10,000 last year and I’m on track to do the same this year.

@craig10x I seem to recall that I signed up on the app not on the website
and it worked perfectly for a personal individual account.

Check out this page where there’s a link top right to install the app

https://astra.finance/blog/gettingstarted/

@craig10x I signed up as an individual not as a business.
Didn’t have to provide any of that information, very easy to sign up, and it
worked perfectly transferring money from my Wells Fargo checking to my SoFi checking.

Let me see if I can find a different link for you.
It’s definitely NOT a waste of time.
I know individuals that have pushed $5,000 through Astra and got the $300 bonus

@mtnagel
If you go through Swagbucks or mypoints to signup for SoFi you can get the bonus up to $475 ($175 referral + $300 from SoFi)
