With the experience of successfully building two prior startups, her mandate for Hive Up is to demystify the seemingly complicated world of finance by breaking it down into engaging and palatable content.The ethos on how Hive Up creates its content is based on the pillars of design thinking, psychology, and technology, which incorporates AI and machine learning to intelligently curate content and make financial learning more engaging, tailored and personalized.The acquisition of Hive Up – following Privé Technologies’ recent selection by Deloitte as one of the top 20 fastest growing technology firms in Asia – further cements Privé’s position as a leader and one of the most recognized and awarded FinTech companies in the industry.
Digitization in the field of personal finance is becoming more salient. We need to explore creative and cutting-edge ways to help the financial literacy challenge for the aspiring investor, as well as develop new value proposition solutions for wealth managers in today’s digital age.
