 WEEKEND ROUNDUP | |

Chase is offering Freedom cardholders 5% back through the end of the year Starting in October, Chase Freedom cardholders will be able to earn 5% cash back on purchases through Chase Pay and PayPal, as well as from department stores including Macy's and Nordstrom.
Each quarter, cardholders can earn 5% cash back on specific categories if they activate the bonus, with a quarterly spending limit of $1,500; once that limit is hit, the cash-back offering goes down to the card's standard 1%.
Chase is making a play to capture as much holiday spend as possible, and it could boost Chase Pay's profile in the process.
Offering cash back for holiday shopping that begins in October could help Chase capitalize on spend from consumers who start shopping early — in turn promoting primary card status.

| | | Fintechs are encroaching on incumbents' share in the banking game, forcing them to explore new business models — but tech-savvy legacy banks can treat this as an opportunity rather than a threat by moving into the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) space.

Business Insider Intelligence looks at the benefits banks stand to gain by offering BaaS platforms, discusses key players in the industry that have already successfully launched BaaS platforms, and recommends strategies for financial institutions looking to move into BaaS.
