When we started Frich, we had one simple goal: help Gen Z understand money without the outdated, one-size-fits-all advice that didn’t reflect how we actually live. Fast forward to today, and being recognized by?TechRound?as one of the top women in startups & tech for 2025 is a huge milestone: not just for me, but for our entire team and the 1M+ Gen Zers who are breaking financial taboos. At?Frich Money we’re proving that financial literacy doesn’t have to be intimidating or boring. Money conversations should be real, transparent, and shaped by the people they actually impact.

This year, Gen Z was betting on social acceptance - not just the Super Bowl We analysed how Gen Z gambled on sports betting, and shared our findings in?Finextra. 40% of?Frich Money users have borrowed money to gamble, showing that society is normalising this kind of gamified spending, which can easily get out of hand. And betting apps are making it easier than ever to gamble at the drop of a hat. The solution? More transparency, better financial education, and less stigma around money conversations.

Ask any Gen Z about their “relationship” with their bank, and you’ll probably get a blank stare. To them, a bank isn’t a financial mentor, it’s just a place to park your money. For actual advice, Gen Z turns to TikTok, Reddit, and finance apps that actually meet them where they are. In my latest piece for Finextra, I break down the real reasons banks are losing Gen Z: - We expect speed. If a process takes 10 minutes, we’re out. - We live in seamless apps. Clunky banking UX? No thanks. - We want financial tools, not financial gatekeeping. Hidden fees and confusing APR talk won’t cut it. At Frich Money, we know that transparency + peer-driven insights are the key to helping Gen Z take control of their money. Instead of outdated advice, we provide real financial benchmarks that reflect how Gen Z actually spends, saves, and lives. Banks, take note. Want to win over Gen Z? Make finance easy, clear, and actually useful. Read the full article at the link in the comments!

Let’s be real: financial education has never really worked for Gen Z. We were taught that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell - not how much rent should cost.

We’re so pleased to have been selected as an award recipient, but we’re even prouder to be changing how Gen Z talks about money.
