Getting Ready for the Everything Personal Finance App: Bethniel Finance 2.0

As we draw the curtains down on 2023, Bethniel Fintech is excited to share with you some key lessons from its Bethniel Finance app and why it it is prudent to think of Bethniel Finance as the everything personal finance app other than a mere financial information & literacy platform.

We have titled this article “Getting Ready For The Everything Personal Finance App” and by the time you are done reading, you will be as excited as we are and grateful that you didn’t skip this article.

When Bethniel Finance was first launched in June 2021, the goal was simply to help Africans (starting with Ghanaians) get relevant, accurate, and real-time financial information to help make better & informed financial decisions. Over time, it became obvious that Ghanaians needed an app that does more than providing financial information. There was a need for a one-stop shop for everything personal finance. Imagine being able to learn about money, better managing it, and seamlessly accessing financial services such as investment, payments, insurance, and loans all one from one app; Yeah !! You thought right!! That’s simply what the new Bethniel Finance is all about. Bethniel Finance is your go-to app for all your financial needs. You can call it your everything personal finance app.

As we look forward to releasing the new Bethniel Finance, here are a few lessons we have learnt from engaging users of Bethniel Finance 1.0

• Personal Finance isn’t just about investments. Many people don’t realize that personal finance goes beyond investments. There are equally important areas of financial services such as advice, insurance, and loans. Neglecting these areas and focusing on just investments is certainly not the way to go if you want to be on top of your finances.
• Financial Literacy & Management are the two cornerstones that drive better financial decision making. The ability to make informed, better, and evidence based financial decisions stands on your level of financial literacy and how well you are able to manage money. Financial Literacy simply has to do with financial information and how well you have grasped knowledge from this information. Financial Management, on the other hand, deals more with the initial steps you take with the financial knowledge you have. Key steps here include budgeting, tracking income & expenses and investment risk awareness.
• It is almost impossible to do well financially with just one stream of income. You will come to find out that the wealthy have at least 5 sources of income. With each of these sources of income, they usually are able to invest more than half of what is earned. This is called the multiplier effect and is the secret that makes the wealthy grow their wealth. With just one source of income, what you have to invest is minimal and there’s no way to take advantage of the multiplier effect.
• Having the right community or support system goes a long way to influence one’s financial behaviour as well as how well one will do financially. The popular saying “Your network determines your net worth” is a principle you can’t underestimate when it comes to finance and wealth. Your network is more like a community that offers you learning & networking opportunities as well as breakthrough ideas.

Now, with these lessons in mind, this is why Bethniel Finance 2.0 is just that app you need to take your personal finance to the next level.

• Assessments: Bethniel Finance offers you seamless tools to assess your financial health. On the app, you are able to take the financial literacy test, investment risk assessment, and retirement readiness check. The financial literacy test shows you how well you understand money so you can improve your knowledge about it. The investment risk assessment helps you to know whether you have a low, moderate, or high risk appetite so you know what type of investments to go for.
• Savings Challenge: Savings is one of the first & foundational skills as well as steps you need to take towards creating wealth. There is no wealthy person who doesn’t know how to save. On Bethniel Finance, you can save towards goals such as personal business capital, school fees, vacations, weddings and many more.
