  • Group1001 Launches Relay® for California Residents

    December 7, 2018 by Group1001

    INDIANAPOLISDec. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Group1001 has announced today the extended availability of Relay® in the state of California. Launched in October, Relay is a revolutionary financial product that rewards goal-oriented consumers with incredible cash-back on everyday expenses. Relay’s bold new insurtech offering couples an immediate annuity, issued by Guggenheim Life and Annuity Company, with a prepaid debit card offering cash-back rewards, and eliminates restrictions typical in these categories.

    “Relay® was born out of a consumer need to make every dollar count and the ensuing frustration with the yields offered by traditional savings products and the restrictions typical to cash-back programs,” said Andres Barragan, Chief Experience Officer of Group1001. “Relay® delivers on that need with a completely fresh take on annuities that celebrates and rewards smart planning and spending habits. Relay® offers the opportunity to earn high cash-back where consumers may not be currently earning any rewards, so it’s really the new way to put your cash to work.”

    Relay® offers planning-oriented reward seekers the opportunity to earn generous cash-back (on money that otherwise may sit in a low-yield account) by making purchases with the annuity payouts loaded to a prepaid debit card. In contrast to many rewards programs, Relay’s cash-back rewards have no category or merchant restrictions, blackout dates or annual fees. And unlike most annuities, Relay® can be purchased and managed entirely online and there are no contract fees or surrender penalties. Relay® provides a monthly cash flow stream over a predefined term and cash-back rewards of 3% to 13% each year, depending on the length of the plan chosen.

    “We are thrilled to introduce Relay®,” said Dan Towriss, CEO of Group1001. “This new product exemplifies our commitment to providing technology-led innovation and the finest services to a wider set of customers. We believe in financial empowerment and are pleased to offer our customers a revolutionary way to simplify and manage a household budget, and also get rewarded.”

    Award-winning personal finance expert, Dominique Broadway of Finances De∙mys∙ti∙fied, endorsed Relay® and said, “After learning about Relay®, I couldn’t believe this product hasn’t been developed before. It’s a no-brainer that helps people make money off of their everyday expenses. Credit cards have fees. Annuities are stable but sometimes can be restrictive. It’s so smart to combine the power and everyday value of cash-back with a financial product with reliable returns, through a service experience attuned to today’s digital world.”

    Relay® is now available in CaliforniaTexasFloridaIllinoisIndianaMassachusetts, and New Jersey, with additional state expansion planned for the coming months. To learn more, please visit RelayRewards.com.
