Delivering a Powerful Solution to Help New Zealand Customers Manage Their Finances


Booster & Moneythor

The current state of play

In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis and with rising interest and mortgage rates, New Zealand customers were in need of better support and more innovative tools to help them to manage their finances. It was against this economic backdrop that the team at Booster, the leading provider of KiwiSaver superannuation and consumer-friendly invest products, launched day-to-day spending and saving account, Savvy.

About Savvy

With a focus on assisting customers in better managing their finances, Savvy is a smart account and debit card that helps customers spend and save more effectively with personalised insights and savings tools.

The team at Booster noticed a gap in the market, realising that while technology is opening up so many new possibilities, our ways of saving and spending have pretty much stayed the same. And so they developed Savvy, to offer customers a fresh and powerful approach to handling their money.

Savvy accounts help customers to spend and save smarter by providing personalised insights, automated saving options, savings tools and competitive returns. Each account is tailored to the customer’s needs, forecasting, tracking, and nudging them towards better habits every day.

To bring Savvy to life, Booster deployed the Moneythor solution to deliver the real-time orchestration of interactive experiences, along with personalised and actionable recommendations, insights and nudges for its customers. The successful integration has resulted in a comprehensive set of capabilities offered in Savvy right from its launch, showcasing a level of breadth and depth rarely seen in the initial versions of other digital banks.

The following features are incorporated into Savvy:

 

1. Stacks

Organise your finances by creating distinct stacks to separate your rent fund from your spending money, allowing you to establish personalised goals for each.

With Boost, every purchase made using your Savvy debit card contributes to your savings. Savvy can round up your purchases to the nearest 50 cents, $1, or $5, and transfer the difference to your chosen Stack. Each day, Savvy displays your boosted savings, providing you with a satisfying sense of your growing savings.

3. Sweep

If you find yourself with some remaining change just before your next payday, resist the urge to splurge and consider boosting your finances with Sweep. Savvy automatically checks your balance every payday. If there’s money left over from your previous pay cycle, Savvy can sweep it into your chosen Stack.

a) Sweep any additional funds directly into your designated Stack, getting you closer to your savings goal.
