Your Bright Stash account is a secure financial account with funds up to $250,000 FDIC-insured secured by bank-level encryption. When Bright moves funds from your checking account, your funds are stored in your Bright Stash account. Bright uses those funds to make your card payments or to build your savings with Bright. You can always adjust how much Bright moves into your Stash account, and once they’re posted, you can withdraw them at any time, moving funds back to your checking account. “Bright Stash Account” has been previously called the “Bright Account,” which has all the same features and security.

We based our calculations on the average US credit card APR of 21% in January 2020 (source: WalletHub). We then assessed the impact of paying an extra $25 per month towards your credit card balances over a 5-year period.We identified that most Bright customers could afford paying an extra $6 per week, or $25 per month, and that any interest savings could be reinvested in further paying down debt. This results in accelerating the pay-down and consequent interest savings.
