During this weekend event devoted to the live streaming video platform, Twitch, gamers can head to the Blast TwitchCon booth, #1731, to learn more about the new features and functionality and chat with the team that made this financial savings app possible.
One of the most revolutionary features now available on Blast iOS is, Game-Based Savings™, now with expanded functionality. Gamers can easily save money from a gamer’s personal bank account to a free Blast savings account all through gameplay. By completing specific actions in some of the most popular PC games, gamers can now take advantage of this revamped feature as well as new features like Goals, Goal Boosts with Plasma, and more.
“Exhibiting at TwitchCon gives us a chance to get closer to our iOS and Android users, better understand and build for their needs, and explain our new PC Game-Based Savings™ feature. We will also be brainstorming with current and potential partners to bring financial wellness to a wider audience,” said Blast Founder and CEO Walter Cruttenden.
By merging savings and gaming, Blast makes savings happen automatically in the background of your gameplay. Taking the boring financial activity of saving and associating it with the fun experience of gaming, comes from the mind of Cruttenden, who also co-founded Acorns, the number one micro-investing app in the country with over five million customers. Through a partnership with behavioral research of Dr. Shlomo Benartzi of UCLA, Cruttenden and his team at Blast have focused on bringing access to a better financial future to a younger and wider audience.
