The new Finimize iPhone app lets you learn finance kind of like learning a new language: you can learn about any financial topic by reading or listening to a Finimize Pack. Basically, you can picture the app being like a Headspace for finance.
Have been a subscriber to the Finimize newsletter for a long long time โ their content is so refreshingly clear and concise for someone who would not consider themselves an "expert" in the world of finance. This latest app update looks like it takes the ethos of Finimize to a whole new level. So excited to try it out!
I have spent almost 25 years building financial services companies and have witnessed a massive lack of basic financial knowledge from not only clients, but professionals in the business. Many who use the jargon to obfuscate and confuse.
I have subscribed to Finimize for years now and believe it to be the most accessible and relatable source of financial news and education out there. Get fundamentals through the app and then concise updates daily on the markets, economics, and companies. They make it easy to arm yourself at your own pace.
@jamie_mci That's amazing to hear, given your background. You hit the nail on the head when you describe the problem and how we're hoping to help solve it. ๐
Hey there, amazing Product Hunt community ๐
These past couple of months we at Finimize have been working on a special project ๐ฅณ. Our daily newsletter helps you stay on top of whatโs happening in the world of finance every day. But, it doesnโt help you evaluate which investment options are available to you in order to allow you to make more informed decisions with your money.
So we built an app (currently for iPhone โ add yourself to the waitlist if youโre on Android: https://finimize.typeform.com/to...)! We figured that finance is kind of like learning a new language or a skill โ you want to gradually increase your know-how in a fun way.
Our app does exactly this: you can learn about any financial topic (currently more than 50, to be exact โ beginner and pro) by reading or listening to a Finimize Pack. A Finimize Pack is essentially a guide that you can consume on the go. Basically, you can picture our app being like a Headspace for finance.
Iโd love for you to check out our app and let me know what you think.
To do so, go to the Apple App Store and download the Finimize app now.
I also have a special treat ๐ for you if you hit me up on Twitter โ my handle is: wholeearthweb.
Excited to hear your thoughts โ weโre adding new content every day and are heavily investing into building an amazing audio experience for you!
Really looking forward to your hearing your feedback on our product ๐ค
Best,

I have no opinion about the content as I have not heard for finimize before - however, the site does very little to explain what the app actually does. Perhaps it's clearer for people familiar with the finimize brand, but for me it was confusing.
@andreasduess Thanks for the feedback โ that's definitely something we'll need to work on then. Would be curious how you'd explain the proposition in your words, once you've checked it out.
Love the Finimize app, newsletter and events. Through them I've learned a huge amount about the options for savings and investment and met like minded people who have encouraged me to get more active in managing my own savings and investments.
Very much recommend this app for any lay-people looking to understand finance better.
I've been a Finimize fan for a couple of years now, spreading the word to friends and family. Having worked and currently still working in the investment industry, I do think the sector is taking its huge advantage of informational asymmetry and lack of awareness with personal finance and abusing it for all the wrong reasons.
There's a great number of people who could do really well by simply focusing on self-education and engaging with their finances, and Finimize is one of the best options out there to do this (and I've tried them all!)
Having only known Finimize (through their app) for the past month, the bite-size nature of the well crafted, informative packs has already kept me coming back to the app every day ... and boosted my financial/investing knowledge. Itโs become my favourite app.
