A Minneapolis-area financial services professional and business executive, Michael VanErdewyk has professional experience in areas ranging from insurance to loan servicing. Since co-founding Bright Bucks in 2019, Michael VanErdewyk has led this unique fin-tech earnings company as its chief executive officer.
The Bright Bucks mobile earnings app is designed to improve the finances of its members in two ways. First, it allows them to earn extra money by engaging in simple tasks that might include watching an ad or video, downloading and playing a game, or taking a survey. Second, it allows customers to earn cash back and enjoy special retail offers while shopping.
Bright Bucks fully protects data through stringent security measures that enable members to save or make money with only the specific information that they agree to share. As an organization, it will never sell personal user data to a third party. The company also automatically tokenizes and vaults all user credit card and banking information. Because it doesn’t directly store any of this information, it makes any attempted data breech nearly impossible.
The Bright Bucks app features 256-bit encryption security. This high industry standard is practically impervious to anyone, even with the fastest computers on the market. The Bright Bucks app is built to PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance standards. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is an information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes. The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands but administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.
