There’s Almost Always an App for That
When was the last time you couldn’t…
…find your way?
…name a song?
…check on a flight?
…get the best price?
…choose a restaurant?
…etc.
Eliminating Wallets?
“Just paid our taxi with
Paypass… and didn’t have to
pull out my wallet. Loved it!
@Ryan Caldwell
What kind of change?
In a perfect world you would
• buy everything at a discount
• without a physical wallet/purse
• and without having to check out
Tough financial times for Millennials in the US
Average debt $45,000
Avg. credit cards 3
Unemployment 12.4%
Live with their parents 24%
Don’t pay bills on time 42%
No cash savings 70%
So What is the real Need?
There are currently no other bank, payment, or personal financial
management experiences out there that are positioned in this way.
What we will do…
Transform the retail bank account
into a primary financial app
customers engage with 3-5x daily
What customers will say…
“Moven makes managing my money
as easy as spending it. It helps me
make smarter spending decisions
and motivates me to save.”

“A crucial fact is that the
human brain is basically a
mammalian brain with a
larger cortex. This means
human behavior will
generally be a compromise
between… animal emotions
and instincts, and… human
deliberation and foresight.”
C. Camerer (Cal Tech), G. Loewenstein (Carnegie-Mellon), D. Prelic (MIT), 2004, Neuroeconomics: Why
economics needs brains. Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 106(3), 555-579.
“We are all just monkeys with money…”
– Tom Waits
Rational Thought
Immediate Rewards
The limbic system is dopaminergic, meaning it responds to
reward-motivated behavior and stimuli.
The Biological Basis of the Human Behavior
Short Run Self Long Run Self
Plans, prepares and optimizes for
long term utility and happiness
A series of sequential selves
all focused on the immediate
“Our theory proposes that many sorts of decision problems should
be viewed as a game between a sequence of short-run impulsive
selves and a long-run patient self.”
Drew Fudenburg (Harvard U.) and David K. Levine (Washington U.), 2006, A dual-self model of impulse control.
American Economic Review, 96(5), 1449-1476.
Dual Self Model of Decision Making
“The image that I came up with … was that I was a rider on the back of an elephant. I’m holding the reins in my hands, and by pulling one way or the other I can tell the elephant to turn, to stop, or to go. I can direct things, but only when the elephant doesn’t have desires of his own. When the elephant really wants to do something, I’m no match for him.” Dr. Jonathan Haidt, (University of Virginia), The Happiness Hypothesis, 2006, p. 4, Basic Books: New York.

•Data Collection
•Transaction Categorization
•Right Level of Insight
• Individual, Peer & Benchmark
CONTROL: What Can I Do?
PERSPECTIVE
EMOTIVE
•Short Term vs. Long Term
•Alter Perceptions of Time
•Social Commitments & Life Events
•Make Marginal Decisions Emotional
NOTE: The rider may be compelled by logic or emotion, the elephant,
however, is purely emotional. To engage the elephant, the imagery of
future goals must evoke emotion.
ADVICE: What Should I Do?
TRANSPARENT
ALIGNED
•Clarify True Cost of Action
•Highlight Tradeoffs Required
•Offers, Discounts & Rewards
• Product & Merchant Recommendations
ACTION: How Do I Do It?
FRICTIONLESS
SOCIAL
•Moment of Pause
