“We’re thrilled to receive our second Fintech Breakthrough recognition highlighting our commitment to empowering consumers to make smart savings choices,” said Ravi Kumar, head of CIT’s direct bank.  “Our Savings Builder product provides a convenient and accessible opportunity for consumers to make their money work harder for them.”

Unlike most high-yield savings accounts, Savings Builder provides a higher rate of return for customers who save consistently and make monthly contributions of at least $100, in addition to those who can meet a higher opening balance threshold.^1 This unique product rewards consumers for their savings habits and helps them reach their goals faster.

“Savings Builder is truly unique among a sea of high-yield products in the personal finance marketplace, as it encourages savings by incentivizing consistent deposits and delivering an outstanding savings experience for customers,” said James Johnson, managing director, Fintech Breakthrough. “We are thrilled to recognize CIT Bank for a second time with this award.”

The Fintech Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize the Fintech innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including Banking, Personal Finance, Lending, Payments, Investments, Regtech, Insurtech and many more. The 2020 Fintech Breakthrough Award program attracted more than 3,750 nominations from across the globe.

Last year, CIT Bank was named as Fintech Breakthrough’s Best Personal Finance Company of 2019 for its emphasis on providing customers the financial agility they need to meet their goals. In 2017, CIT’s small business solutions team received a Fintech Breakthrough Award for Best Small Business Lending Solution.
