Earning rewards inside a financial app comes with a different set of expectations. Users want clarity, speed, and confidence that what they earn is real — and immediately usable.
That’s the context behind our latest partnership with Bolt, a commerce company powering checkout, identity, and payments for leading brands and millions of consumers. Together, we’ve launched Bolt Earn, an in-app experience that allows Bolt members to earn cash rewards directly inside the Bolt SuperApp.
“Bolt Earn is built around a simple idea,” said Ryan Breslow, Founder and CEO of Bolt. “If someone spends time engaging with an offer, filling out a survey, or playing their favorite game, they should earn real money, not points. Bolt Earn delivers those earnings directly into their Bolt checking account, where they can be used right away.”
Built for Trust in a Financial Environment
Not every rewards model translates well into a financial product. In this arena, the standard is higher: experiences need to be transparent, efficient, and consistent with how users already manage money.
“Trust is the foundation of any rewards experience,” said Andrew Jones, Head of Accounts, Marketplace at Besitos. “In financial apps, users are focused on clarity, speed and knowing exactly where their money is going. Our platform is built for that behavior, with straightforward activities and direct deposits into accounts. Bolt Earn applies a model that we’ve already proven at scale inside a trusted financial experience.”
Through our embedded platform, Bolt is able to offer in-app earning opportunities, with clear value exchange and direct cash payouts — no points, no delays, and no ambiguity.
Bolt maintains control over which experiences appear in the app, while our APIs handle reward confirmation, content delivery, and fraud prevention behind the scenes.
A Straightforward Model for Engagement and Monetization
Bolt Earn introduces a new way for members to add funds to their accounts beyond traditional deposits, while also supporting an incremental revenue stream for Bolt. Bolt earns revenue from Besitos for completed activities, without requiring changes to Bolt’s core payments or banking products.
This structure is intentional: it keeps the experience clean for users and keeps the business model aligned with performance.
Designed for Sustainable Partner Growth
We built our platform to support integrated partners who want to embed rewards in a way that feels native to the product — and scalable over time.
“Earning inside a financial app requires a different standard,” said Peter Garea, Head of Partnerships, Marketplace at Besitos. “Bolt was deliberate about building an experience that prioritizes efficiency and quality, rather than short-term engagement. That shared approach is what makes our platform resonate with users and sustainable for partners.” Learn more about Besitos Integrated Partnerships.
