Concept
Student Banking App
How we created a new concept for a student banking app and showed how it would function in a real-life banking environment.
Problem
Young people find it hard to save
Many young people have little control over their finances. Research by the Dutch National Institute for Budget Advice (Nibud) states that young people underestimate their monthly expenses by an average of EUR 2,400. Which means that many of them are unable to save.
Approach
User Research
Through interviews and surveys, Keen Financials has mapped the situation of young people and their money in the Netherlands.
Our research shows that young people have little or no insight into their income and expenses. So they have hardly any money left to save. We also found that young people tend to borrow as much as possible or more than necessary.
