After thought
For future improvement, I have a couple of suggestions:
-
Group Saving Feature: Allow users to create group savings goals where multiple people can contribute towards a common financial target. This would be perfect for families or friends saving together for events like trips or group investments.
-
Automated Saving Rounds: Introduce an automated "round-up" feature, where small amounts of money are rounded up from everyday purchases and automatically added to the user's savings. This will help users passively grow their savings without even noticing.
-
Savings Challenges: Add fun savings challenges to motivate users. For example, weekly or monthly challenges encouraging users to save a specific amount could be gamified with rewards, making the experience more engaging.
