Frich Money

It’s always a pleasure to be featured in The Fintech Times! They published a piece this week following a chat with Elizabeth Coston McCluskey from TruStage, where Frich was mentioned as a key wealth tech tool for improving financial inclusion. Traditional financial institutions often overlook Gen Z's unique needs—but Frich is here to change that. We provide a safe, anonymous platform where users can compare financial benchmarks, share insights, and develop essential money management skills. Most importantly, we’re tackling the challenges younger generations face when budgeting in 2024, empowering Gen Z to take control of their financial futures. True financial inclusion means equipping individuals with the tools and confidence to navigate their unique journeys - which is exactly what we're all about! #FinancialInclusion #GenZFinance #WealthTech #Frich

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that our co-founder, Aleksandra Medina, has been named in the inaugural #SEEN50 list by Tech:NYC and Visible Hands! This list celebrates 50 underrepresented founders in NYC who are not just leading innovative startups but also driving change toward a more inclusive and dynamic tech ecosystem. At Frich, we see diversity as a key way to build better, more inclusive tech that truly reflects and serves the needs of our users. Aleksandra’s leadership, determination and passion are at the heart of our mission to empower Gen Z with the financial tools and knowledge they need to thrive. Aleksandra will join the SEEN Summit on November 20 to connect with other founders, share insights, and champion inclusive success.

We believe that you deserve to have more examples than just your parents (and sometimes we don't even get to know that much about how our parents actually handle their finances) to figure out how to manage money in relationships. The goal, of course, is to build lasting relationships that are also financially stable and comforting! Because - guess what - one of the most important decisions you'll make in your personal finances is your life partner. At what point in a relationship should you have a shared bank account? Would you be ok with your partner earning significantly more than you? These and many more money questions are answered by Gen Z'ers across the US every day.
