Neobanks and fintechs can use RebelFi to generate yield on treasury balances and offer competitive savings products to customers — all while maintaining custody and regulatory compliance.

Two Revenue Streams

1. Treasury Yield

Generate yield on your operational stablecoin balances:
  • Operating reserves
  • Liquidity buffers
  • Funds awaiting deployment

2. Customer Deposit Products

Offer yield-bearing accounts to your customers:
  • Savings accounts with competitive APY
  • Interest-bearing checking
  • Fixed-term deposit products

Treasury Yield Implementation

The Opportunity

Most neobanks hold significant stablecoin reserves for:
  • Daily operations and settlements
  • Regulatory liquidity requirements
  • Growth capital awaiting deployment
This capital typically earns nothing. With RebelFi, treasury can become a profit center.

Implementation

1

Identify Eligible Treasury

Map your treasury wallets:
  • Operating accounts
  • Reserve accounts
  • Settlement accounts
Exclude: Hot wallets with high turnover, regulatory minimum reserves
2

Calculate Safe Buffer

For each wallet, determine minimum liquidity:
  • Peak daily outflows (95th percentile)
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Operational contingency (20% margin)
3

Configure Auto-Optimization

Enable RebelFi monitoring on treasury wallets:
{
  walletAddress: treasuryWallet,
  enableYield: true,
  bufferAmount: "1000000.00", // $1M liquidity buffer
  token: "USDC"
}
4

Monitor & Report

Track treasury yield for financial reporting:
  • Daily yield accrual
  • Monthly treasury income
  • Allocation performance

Treasury Yield Economics

Treasury Balance: $20M in stablecoins
Operational Buffer: $5M (25%)
Deployable: $15M (75%)
Annual Yield (7% APY): $1.05M

Previous Treasury Income: $0
───────────────────────────────
New Revenue: $1M+/year

Customer Deposit Products

Product Options

Model: Basic savings account with competitive APY
  • Customer deposits earn 4-5% APY
  • You earn 2-3% spread
  • Instant withdrawals
  • FDIC-like messaging (non-custodial)
Target: Retail customers seeking yield

Implementation Architecture

For B2B2C implementations where customers have their own wallets, use the SDK:
import { MidasClient } from '@rebelfi/sdk';

const midas = new MidasClient({ apiKey: process.env.REBELFI_API_KEY });

// Customer opens savings account
async function openSavingsAccount(customerWallet: string, amount: string) {
  // Find best strategy
  const { venues } = await midas.venues.list({
    blockchain: 'solana',
    token: 'USDC'
  });
  const strategy = venues[0].strategies[0];

  // Create supply operation
  const operation = await midas.operations.supply({
    walletAddress: customerWallet,
    strategyId: strategy.strategyId,
    amount,
    tokenAddress: strategy.tokenAddress
  });

  return operation;
}

// Customer checks balance
async function getAccountBalance(customerWallet: string) {
  const { allocations, totalValue, totalYieldEarned } = await midas.allocations.list({
    walletAddress: customerWallet
  });

  return {
    principal: totalValue - totalYieldEarned,
    currentValue: totalValue,
    yieldEarned: totalYieldEarned,
    apy: allocations[0]?.apy || 0
  };
}
See the SDK documentation for complete B2B2C integration.

Compliance Considerations

Regulatory Framework

RebelFi’s non-custodial model simplifies compliance:
  • You or your customers maintain custody
  • RebelFi never holds keys or funds
  • No money transmission by RebelFi
  • Clear audit trail via ledger
Recommended disclosures for customer-facing products:
  • Funds are deployed to DeFi protocols
  • Yield rates are variable, not guaranteed
  • Principal is at risk (smart contract risk)
  • Not FDIC insured
  • You maintain custody at all times
Depending on your structure:
  • Money transmission license requirements
  • State-by-state analysis for US operations
  • Securities law considerations for fixed-term products
  • Work with legal counsel on product structure

Audit & Reporting

RebelFi provides comprehensive audit trails:
  • All operations logged with timestamps
  • Double-entry accounting ledger
  • Yield accrual tracking
  • Exportable reports for auditors

Business Model Economics

Example: Mid-Size Neobank

Treasury Yield:
Treasury: $10M
Deployable (80%): $8M
Annual Yield (7%): $560k
Customer Deposits:
Customer Deposits: $50M
Gross Yield (7%): $3.5M
Customer Payout (5%): $2.5M
Net Revenue: $1M
Total New Revenue: $1.56M/year

Example: Growing Fintech

Phase 1 (Launch):
  • Treasury only: 2Mdeployed,2M deployed, 140k/year
Phase 2 (6 months):
  • Treasury + Early adopters: 5Mtotal,5M total, 350k/year
Phase 3 (12 months):
  • Full product launch: 20Mdeployed,20M deployed, 1M+/year
