At Starfish we are on a mission to turn Robinhood into a reality (your childhood hero, not the investing app, silly). The villain in our story is the credit card (CC) monopoly. The CC monopoly is extremely good at convincing the masses of their goodness. But the facts show they don’t have our “best interest” in mind, just our interest. We are here to change that. Last year, CC companies made a whopping $125B in transaction fees. That is over $340MM PER DAY on CARD SWIPES. This is equivalent to the US movie industry, the US music industry, the NFL, the NBA, & the NHL combined. For swipes… Businesses pay these fees by raising prices, essentially passing those fees onto the consumers. You pay them even if you are debt-free! In the past, the only sophisticated thing to do was join the scheme by getting the best CC you could find and paying it off monthly. That way, you are at least getting rewarded for selling out to the legal monopoly. After all, you aren’t one of the fools who foolishly forgets a payment… (Except 34% do every year) Consumers only paid $175B in late fees and interest last year, no big deal. What’s the solution? If you aren’t into earning your rewards on the backs of debt slaves, then Starfish is for you. Starfish is the first mobile payment platform that legally goes around the CC monopoly. Starfish pays as much or more cash-back than ANY card you will find, ranging from 1-20% with an average of 5%. Because you upload your own cash into the Starfish e-wallet, it is DESIGNED to help you avoid debt. There are no late fees and no interest. Best of all, Starfish takes those pesky 3% merchant fees that would normally be funneled to the CC monopoly, and pays them back as a residual, ongoing income to those who help us expand through our unique profit-sharing referral program. Profits to the people, baby. THAT is what we call the Consumer Rebellion. Bring it on, credit cards. Join the #ConsumerRebellion www.starfishperks.com @starfishperks
