If you’re over 18, a US resident, and want a checking account that rewards you for playing video games, then the new Mana app and account may be what you were looking for.
What Is Mana?
Mana is a financial technology company that has partnered with MVB Financial Corp, Member FDIC to provide a VISA® debit card and checking account through its banking app.
Mana has been designed by individuals with decades of involvement in gaming, with the intention of creating an account that rewards gamers for doing what they love most- gaming.
As a user you can receive rewards for your gaming purchases then, but also for playing a range of titles including (but not limited to!) Clash Royale, Clash of Clans, and Fortnite.
What Rewards Are Available?
Users of the Mana app have access to a range of rewards, simply for using their debit card as they normally would. You can use your points to nab:
- A huge selection of games
- Hundreds of gift cards across a wide range of categories
- A broad selection of gaming hardware and gear
Users can earn the following perks too:
- 3x Points for Gaming and Entertainment Subscriptions
- 2X Points from Gaming Products in the Mana Shop
- 1X Points for all Purchases using the Mana VISA Debit Card
- 100 Points a month for playing your favorite games
And for anyone who subscribes to the Pro membership for $119.95 a year, the rewards are even greater:
- 5x Points for Gaming and Entertainment Subscriptions
- 3X Points from Gaming Products in the Mana Shop
- 1X Points for all Purchases using the Mana VISA Debit Card
- 500 Points a month for playing your favorite games
Pro members also access a range of additional perks, including:
- 1 Year Discord Nitro Classic Subscription
- $25 Gift card to Playstation Plus
- $25 Gift card to Xbox GamePass Ultimate
- 1 Year Surfshark VPN Subscription
- 1 Year Firstblood PRO esports platform subscription
- 1 Year FITGMR Pro subscription
In essence, gamers are being given the opportunity to earn rewards for doing things they’d be doing anyway – playing games, having game and entertainment subscriptions, and using a debit card for other purchases. But the Mana app will reward those gamers for doing it.
And redeeming those rewards is very simple. Mana also provides an in-app shop, which enables users to redeem their points easily, to put them towards games, gaming gift cards, and gaming gear. And points can even be used as part payment for products, with the balance covered by whatever money is in your checking account.
If you think this might be suitable for you, the Mana app is out now, and available to download from the App Store or Google Play.
