Bud's Universal Banking Platform, the Future of Internet Banking?
LONDON, May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Launching July 1st, Bud aims to link people to the world of financial technology - or
fintech for short - which could mean big things for people's wallets. Â
Tech startup Bud is launching a website and mobile app that hopes to cause a
revolution in how everyone interacts with their money. Working with major UK banks and
leading fintech products, Bud has positioned itself to be a financial product which helps
everyone. Bud is a personal money portal focussed on helping people find and use multiple
financial services in one place; designed to be an "app store for finance", where using
new products is as easy as a few clicks.
The employee-owned startup has focussed on the act of connecting people with the most
helpful products. Bud's CEO Ed Maslaveckas explains: "the vast majority of people don't
know these services are available to them, at Bud we wanted to create a place where people
could understand and use these brilliant new technologies. We make this easy for the user
via text commands such as "send money abroad" or simple yes/no questions." This new take
on product listing will likely make the fintech market more accessible for people who are
put off by the large number of choices available to them. Ed continues: "there are use
cases for all of these companies, the trick is match-making people's problem with a
solution and giving them a unified experience."
Bud's focus is on collaboration between financial product owners. Their marketplace is
built on the concept of customer sharing to create a better overall experience. Luke
Trayfoot, Head of Partnership Sales EMEA at World First says: "We are always looking for
new and exciting platforms to partner with. It is clear that Bud has an innovative
platform for consumers, and they share our goal of 'Changing Money'. By partnering with
Bud we can develop our position within their app and service their growing consumer base
via our quick and simple international payments solution. In addition it offers us the
opportunity to work directly with a promising fintech start-up, whilst connecting our
learnings with their wider community. This combination helps both parties, but most
importantly the consumers of Bud." World First were one of the first companies to become
part of the financial ecosystem which Bud is proposing.
Registering to join Bud is easy. No new card, no new bank, no signup fee. Just enter
