Students are often happy to try a new app, they live close together and they talk. Many also receive money from family or send it home. That makes them a strong first group for a money app.
Know what they need
Common student money jobs:
- Receiving money from family, sometimes from another country.
- Splitting rent, bills and meals with housemates.
- Getting paid for part-time work.
- Keeping track of a small budget.
Work with student groups
Societies, especially international and cultural ones, are a natural way in. Offer a short, useful talk on managing money rather than a sales pitch.
Try it
Name your platform and watch it come to life
Type a name, tap a colour and pick what it does. The phone changes as you go.
Colour
What it does
Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.
Find campus champions
A few students who like your app and tell their friends will do more than any poster. Listen to them and fix what they find.
Be clear and honest
Students are careful with small budgets. Show every fee up front and explain plainly who holds their money.
