About

Underpinned by behavioural psychology, Save Up provides a rich set of prompts (or 'nudges') to affect a user in saving money and achieving their goals. These prompts are location based (arriving at a Starbucks), time based (reminders and hints), and social (friends are saving and messaging.) When the user saves, progress is tracked, feedback is provided and money is actually transferred from their chequing account to their savings account.

Like the concept of saving and features like the "save this prompt." Also like the gamifcation and community aspects. Need to determine how to incorporate this into the RBC app and how customers would integrate into their lives.

Good presentation. I think this is a feature that every single bank should offer. I'm not sure people want a leaderboard for saving but perhaps it could be interesting among family members (parent-child relationships).

The gamification element is great for setting goals. Royal Blue ;)

Good job team, I like the description of your first use case. I think you could use it for person to person. If a child is saving for a goal, it would be great to be able to receive money from aunts, uncles and other relatives. Had you contemplated broader use cases, Impactfulness rating would have been higher.

Thanks James for your feedback, rest assured we will incorporate your feedback in future versions.

Interesting idea to bolster savings goals and making it social - would love to see more and address how goals are created or modified or more badging/gaming ideas!

Very interesting concept, but I don't understand how this can work as a standalone app. Managing my bank account with a third party app feels strange. I also doubt it would be feasible from Bank's security point of view. May be I misunderstood the concept.

Goal setting and tracking is a really good way of promoting savings. It would be cooler if there was auto-movement vs. having to do it daily. RBC blue for your background colour instead of TD green :)

I think the design and simplicity - this market is really saturated, many different "nudge" based saving tools. Would be cool if you could connect with financial advisor etc.

Great fun building this app with Peter and Samantha!
