How they describe themselves: For Gen Z, a majority of transactions are done within groups, but the tools needed to collaborate are insufficient. Solutions are often manually pieced together, lacking insight and controls over the use of funds. Opening a joint account is possible, but they’re difficult to create, hard to maintain, and even more difficult to close.

Payclub solves these problems by providing both a personal account, plus unlimited collaborative accounts. These accounts provide users accountability and insight into the collection and use of funds.

How they describe their product/innovation: Payclub helps groups manage money together using collaborative group accounts. In under 30 seconds, you can create a group to manage money with transparency and insight. Roommates, relationships, group trips, or clubs/organizations are groups who can use this service repeatedly or just once. Users can split costs by each, total, and custom amounts, providing an all-in-one platform to what is typically a multi-product solution.

How they describe themselves: What if you could sit each customer down with a psychologist and just ask them, “Are you REALLY going to pay us back?”  With any media used socially, we’ve automated that psychologist with 1-click of their social network or a simple chat with ARIA. Globally, we’ve never had a default reduction of less than 27%, and volume increases (more loans) of less than 28%. Not once. It works every time.

How they describe their product/innovation: Think about it: 54% of applicants quit or abandon their application before completion . . . Over half of potential customers are just walking away. But 84% of consumers prefer online chat to any other form of engagement and the average chat lasts 15 minutes . . . or more.  And the number of chat sessions globally has tripled in the last 3 years.

Consumers HATE applications. But lenders LOVE customers.

We’ve simply combined what customers love with what lenders need.
