Interactions (emotional and cognitive things which occur between people) + transactions (the actual financial stuff going on). When these both work together, the results can be incredible. Examples:
Venmo, which combined chat with money transfer (and an emoji)
SoFi, does personal finance/lending, but made it cool to be one of their members with parties and an acronym

Many companies/products use social (“multi-player”) as a way to get started, and then move more towards the financial (“single-player”) side of their offering.
SoFi, again, built a tight community and then concentrated on lending
Wealthfront, an investment firm, started out as KaChing
Robinhood, started more social and then moved more towards transactions
Prosper, another platform which started out more social

Money is still private, so people are less likely to invite each other to a social product that involves money
However, some companies are able to get past this by not blatantly linking to money
Robinhood is one example. It functions more as a game and allows consumers to feel high class and adult since they have a portfolio

Taking transaction to social (like Robinhood)
From social sites, like those which have developed wallets etc
From games, like Fortnite, which now has a token economy
From platforms, such as Reddit (think WallStreetBets), which see crazy behaviors that could become mainstream…or not

Some emergent social trends stay niche (or subculture), but if stigmas drop for the trend, it could go viral
Crypto is one socio-finance topic that has changed how we talk and think about money
Debt is one of the hardest socio-finance topics to tap into, but Instagram hashtags are one place where this is changing
Products have focused on solving a functional/transactional part of a problem (changing the numbers).
Now, products are also starting to focus on cognitive and emotional parts of problems
There are also many offline socio-finance communities, which could be brought online

Examples of companies doing this well:
Joy – app to rate transactions by how you feel
Credit Karma – making debt less scary and providing transparency so you can know how you stack up to others
Examples of not doing this well:
Budgeting and personal finance apps. They have cognitive and functional value, but don’t tap into emotional aspects
Portfolio sharing products. Many try to be social, but too heavy into function

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
