Mr. Finance Bot
Mr Finance is the first interactive financial education app purpose-built for Myanmar. He tells stories, and he gives timely financial advice. Other apps are bulky and complicated. Mr. Finance is as easy as chatting with a familiar friend.
Mr. Finance interacts as a Facebook Messenger Chatbot that both teaches and learns. Myanmar’s mobile phone revolution has been mostly an app-less revolution. Users don’t want to use bandwidth to download, and don’t want to use precious local memory on large and bulky apps. But Mr. Finance lives in chat, and chat is alive and well in Myanmar.
