Their treasury approach is probably very risky.
Usually you want to build a tractor (recurring deposits to a reference rate) at the 7 or 10 year treasury, to ensure that you have a stable supply of available deposits, and a short term rate too to handle "hot money".
You make money on the spread.
I really don't see how they are funding their interest rate.
