About this event
Whether they’re navigating the shift from a teller-centric to an app-centric banking experience…worrying that retiring at 70 may not possible…or shouldering college, health, and senior-care costs… people are facing a wealth of concerns unimagined when they opened their first accounts.
They know how to create a budget and balance a checkbook, and they may have investments and savings, but how do they manage financial challenges safely and conveniently?
That’s where you come in. We are looking to you to create easy, accessible solutions that will help Baby Boomers and others budget for caregiving, work independently, and protect their loved ones from financial exploitation.
With more than $15,000 in prizes, this two-day San Francisco Hackathon will bring together developers, designers and entrepreneurs from all over to work on solutions for the future of finance.
