Managing money has never been simpler
Starting it off with Plum it is developed by Victor Trokoudes and Alex Michael. Plum is an Al powered Facebook chatbot that enables user to save small amounts of money. It connects with the user current account and then the bot learns spending habits. Plum then starts depositing small amounts of money into plum saving account. So it focuses more on the micro saving aspect by cutting money in the background without actually causing major changes in the budget.
Chip is developed by Simon Rabin and Nick Ustinov. On the surface level it seems that Chip is another micro saving app similar to Plum. It has however its own iOS and Android chatbot app unlike Plum that relies on Facebook Messenger app. Chip monitors user spending habit by running spending habit data through its own Al. The app offers more financial services to the user like personal loan management and forex. It has more value added opportunities for the user.
