Trying to figure out what young Australians actually want from a money app. Chance to win 1 of 3 $50 vouchers

Hi all, I'm Nick and I'm building a budgeting app for young Australians and I'd rather find out what people actually need than keep guessing.

Short survey around 3 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm trying to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, please say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. Feedback on the survey itself is welcome too.

There's an optional email field at the end. If you fill it in you go into a draw for 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. I will shoot you an email if you have won and you can pick which voucher you want i.e Coles/Myer/JB Hi-Fi, winner picks. Closes 20/08/26, drawn 21/08/26,

As of writing this post there's only like 8 people that have done the survey so you are not competing with that many people.

Trying to figure out what young Australians actually want from a money app

I'm currently at Uni and trying to build a small app called Larna. It's just me at the moment. It connects to your bank through Australia's open banking system, sorts your spending automatically, and tries to tell you something useful about it. No manual entry, no spreadsheets.

Before I build any more of it I want to know what people actually need instead of being stuck with what I assume they need. I've. tried to put together a short survey its under 5 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm hoping to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. It'll be free for uni students. Please let me know if you have any feedback for the survey as well.

Also happy to post a summary of the results back here once responses are in.

What do I do?

Hi, I am currently 24 employed in an Australian small fintech company currently earning 70k as a User experience engineer. I started here as a grad software dev (bit over a year ago) and worked into this role. I really like the work except I feel like the company could have a bit of a turbulent future ahead. This caused me to look out for other roles and I was able to land a graduate offer at IBM as a "Graduate/Associate experience consultant-customer and experience transformation" paying 80k. This initially was an easy answer so I resigned from work last week. In saying this, I was called into a meeting today where my boss offered me 125k to stay plus a 25k bonus each year if I reach specific KPI's. This has thrown me now way off and I keep going around in circles about which decision I want to go with.

For a bit of context why I still consider the IBM role

- One of my goals is to work overseas I think this is way more achievable with IBM, the company I currently work at is completely unknown overseas

- It is located in a different city where I have wanted to move too for a while, I have a few friends there and they all love it.

- I want to get exposure to big corporate, where I currently work is still a startup in a lot of ways. I think for my personal growth and career experience it is vital to gain this different type of experience.

I guess I'm looking for a way to find an answer to this, I know there's no wrong answer but I would love to hear some advice.
