The Challenges

Personal finance just plain sucks slow death for lots of folks. With solid tools, outdated designs and no real-time data, they can’t gain the financial clarity and confidence needed to make decisions.

Fragmented Ecosystem

Users frequently have to shuffle spreadsheets, bank apps and budgeting tools, leading to fragmented information. This disjointed structure means it’s been difficult to get a unified view of the financial health in total.

Delayed Financial Awareness

People can’t keep track in real time of what they’re spending without a real time feed of updates. This delay leads to slow decision-making and low understanding of where their money is going.

Inefficient Entry Methods

It's tedious enough tracking money-in and money-out by hand, but such a system is rife with human error. The prevalence does nothing to encourage its use, leading to irregular financial record-keeping and poorly informed budgeting.

Clunky User Interfaces

Traditional finance apps will bombard users with cluttered and jargon-heavy dashboards. This distances non-expert users, and causes drag, resulting in lower engagement and trust in the platform.
