Vantik and Mastercard simplify saving for retirement with new debit card 23 February 2021 Financial security in retirement is one of the most urgent issues in Germany and Europe. In order to offer people a simple access to savings for retirement, the Berlin-based Fintech Vantik announces a partnership with Mastercard and the banking-as-a-service-platform Vodeno. The heart of the cooperation is the combination of a free debit Mastercard with long-term savings: users of the Vantikcard receive 1% cashback on every purchase, which are automatically invested into a sustainable pension fund. Saving for retirement is thus being integrated into everyday life, avoiding the bureaucracy and complexity inherent in other pension schemes. The Vantikcard will be available as of April.
