Moncton’s Quber Unveils FinTech App That Helps People Manage Spending and Saving
After a summer of intense mentorship in Singapore and a 100-member beta test, Moncton-based fintech company Quber has just launched its product, which helps people manage their spending and savings.
The product — an app that helps people visualize the money they’re saving — was launched this month in the two major outlets for mobile apps, Google Play and Apple’s App Store. Before the launch, Co-Founder had spent a few months taking about 100 clients through a closed beta test, working out kinks and getting feedback from users.
“The big news this week is that we launched about a week ago,” said Leger in a phone interview last Thursday. “It’s a full product launch… We continue to receive feedback from customers. There was a time during the launch that every five minutes we’d be getting emails from customers.”
A finalist in last year’s Breakthru competition in New Brunswick, Quber has developed a mobile app that lets people set goals for their savings and channel the saved money toward something important.
As well as a data-based analysis of individual spending habits, the app features a picture of a savings jar, and the more money you save by cutting out little purchases, the more that jar fills up with coins. The goal is to save enough that you can move the full jar toward something bigger, like a vacation, a car or long-term savings.
