The hardest customers for any money app are the first hundred. People need a reason to try somewhere new with their money, and a reason to trust it. Most successful launches start small, with a group of people the founder already understands.
Start with a group you know
A money app built for a specific group, such as a community sending money home, freelancers in one trade, or members of a club, is easier to explain and easier to spread by word of mouth than an app for everyone. Pick the group whose money problems you understand best.

Earn trust
Be clear about who holds the money and which licensed partners stand behind the service. Show real contact details, answer questions quickly, and never promise more than the app does. Trust grows faster from good service than from big claims.
