Starting today, the meal stipend at my bank is $45 for dinner (starting 6:30 pm Mon-Fri). Two meals on weekends ($40 lunch / $45 dinner). Only in the office. Only through Seamless.
It was $35, either in the office or wfh. Now $0 if you are wfh.
Have any other banks increased meal stipend amounts?

Was 30 dollars in 2016 at my bank. Really looks like an inflation bump. Food is up 1.5x
Makes sense. I thought it was more of a tactic to keep people working late. But $35 doesn't make sense anymore. I hope other banks adjust as well.
Still two rolls of sushi with two sides and a drink.
+ tip
How’s PWP looking?
Can you name the damn bank, bro?
Fr this site is anonymous and no one will figure out who u r just by posting about a new meal stipend
Not Wells lol
What is Wells then?
$25
Stifel is $50 in office (after 7 pm) and at home (after 6 pm).
$50 sounds like it would cover both lunch and dinner…
shhhh don't tell management...
Honestly, you can probably get away with it. The problem I found though was not that I couldn't get lunch and dinner, but that there was a limited amount of places I could get enough food for 2 meals under $50
This is ideal. Good for Stifel folks.
I mean hell just buy the whole restaurant with the stipend
Damn at home
My bank is still $30 for dinner...
What's the deal at citi
$25 dinner only after 7pm. Only through seamless. In office or WFH. On Sundays, you get an additional $25 for lunch.
Wait how is this not terrible? You literally don't have the stipend for WFH anymore that's awful. I rather have the lower old amount or hell even 25 or 30 per usual WFH ordering
Totally. It sucks not to be able to order at home anymore. We are doing a hybrid model (6 days/month wfh), and we can only use seamless when in the office. The bank is Mizuho.
You haven’t pushed back?
are weekends included in the 6 days?
How about 30 at office and 0 at home
$45 is crazy — is this the new normal across the street?
Honestly, should be close to it.
Maybe Goldman should update their deck…
out of curiosity how do they work? do you order using your own money and the bank will pay you back or does the bank send you the money?
Corporate card or in-app through Seamless
Ivory towers of CVP is 65 lunch/85 dinner.
My bank has no limit set, it’s just get whatever your dinner is, obviously if I spend $100 a day for dinner they might ask me what’s up.
