Le 15 mars, la Société Générale a annoncé le lancement imminent de leur outils de gestion de budget intégré à la banque en ligne et ainsi bientôt disponible aux trois millions d'utilisateurs.
Ce communiqué de presse insiste sur la co-création et le crowdsourcing, une dimension de plus en plus importante pour la SG qui a lancé au cours des 18 derniers mois des initiatives telles l''Appli' et sa 9ème fonctionalité crowdsourcée ou encore la capture de 20,000 feedbacks clients en agence via ipad.
Avec cette approche, la Société Générale arrivera t-elle à créer un service de budget innovant et intuitif et à s'imposer sur ce sujet en France?
Les thèmes du 'Personal Finance Management' (PFM), service de gestion de budget en ligne ou sur mobile, de l'aggrégation de comptes, et de l'ouverture bancaire font partie des sujets les plus discutés dans l'industrie bancaire à travers le monde.
C'est aussi le cas en France où le marché a commencé à bouger l'année dernière, notamment grâce à un certain nombre d'acteurs tels Boursorama et son 'Money Center' en partenariat avec Yodlee, le succès des applis iphone du Crédit Agricole, de la Société Générale et de BNP Paribas, ainsi que le dynamisme de startups specialisées comme Linxo et Bankin'.
Je vous invite à visionner mon interview filmée le mois dernier à Londres, une heure après Finovate Europe 2012, avec le Co-Foundateur de Bankin'.
A couple of weeks ago, I covered Finovate Europe 2012 live on the Visible Banking blog. During one of the short breaks, I managed to record a short interview with Meniga, one of the few Personal Finance Management (PFM) solution providers to demo at this year event.
The company demoed its latest features focused on gamification and a deeper online banking integration.
Last week, I covered Finovate Europe 2012 live on the Visible Banking blog. At the end of another long day packed with innovative digital services and platforms, I managed to record a short interview with one of my favourite demoing companies, the IND Group.
The hungary-based company demoed its new solution offering gamification within the online bank.
Last night, I exchanged a few emails with Jon Gaskell - Co-Founder of Smartypig. Jon gave me the heads up and informed me of today's major announcements from the Des Moines-based leader in online goal-oriented social savings.
In my opinion, Smartypig is today one of the very best examples of gamification in banking.
Smartypig aka "The pig" is about to make several major announcements: a rebranding, a product launch, a new enagement model with an extended market -the whole worldwide financial services industry-.
Le theme de la gestion de budget, Personal Finance Management (PFM) en anglais, est l'un des themes les plus presents dans les conversations liees aux medias sociaux et a l'innovation dans l'industrie bancaire.
Mais peut-on reellement parler d'innovation? Peut-etre en France, certainement pas aux US.

This year, NyKredit was again nominated for the EFMA social media award for their 'Saving Tips' crowdsourcing initiative: in only 2 months they gathered 400 tips 100% user generated, without any reward strategy or contest. The contribution came mainly from facebook & mobile.
Please note that NyKredit will start a competition at the end of May with two major media brands in Denmark. They are also planning to integrate those tips within their PFM application...

16 Video Interviews I have been incredibly busy while staying in NYC. Indeed, I managed to shoot 16 video interviews between Monday 28th and Wednesday 30th September. I will be posting all of them on my blog soon. Stay tuned!
Interview #12 - moneyStrands: Atakan Cetinsoy, GM Personal Finance Products Strands does an excellent job providing intuitive online tools and 'people powered' applications. I love their focus on people, the end-users.
One of moneyStrands best achievements so far is to power BBVA's 'Tu Cuentas' online community. At Finovate they introduced their improved power search and their new partnership with savings.com to provide relevant online coupons and discounts to their users.
The Dynamic moneyStrands Team It was a pleasure to meet the friendly Strands team in NYC, and catch up with Anna a couple of weeks ago at the 2nd BarCampBank Madrid.
BBVA is one of Strands' investors and they had an exclusivity in Spain
until the end of November. Anna was busy in Madrid so stay tuned, I am
sure you will see more projects in Spain soon. moneystrands.es is now available.
Happy Birthday Aaron! I love this picture of you Aaron. Thanks again for flagging it on your facebook page yesterday: "Don't quite know how the media found this picture of me for my Business Network interview..." Perfect timing for my birthday post. ;)
Not only Aaron looks strong (cf the picture) and wears green most of the time, cnn labeled him a hero last year, he is a great guy to hang around with. I had the pleasure to meet with Aaron several times in the US and I look forward to catching up with him in London soon.
Aaron is a great inventor and also an outstanding entrepreneur a bit like his own hero Thomas Edison. He did an amazing job building in just a couple of years one of the most exciting, valuable, and successful services in the Online Finance world, Mint.com, recently acquired by Intuit for about $170 million.
Aaron's vision for Mint: turn the savings rate for people under 40 from negative to positive taking the pain out of budgeting. Budgeting made easy. Simple yet brilliant and so needed.
Mint.com: The Leader in Online Personal Finance Management In just two years, Mint built an active user base of over 1,5 million people.
Mint's Traffic Please find below the latest stats from compete.com.
Mint's Blog - 'Mint Life' This is another best practice in blogging this time. Aaron cleverly turned the Mint blog into an online magazine, one of the most valuable destinations for money tips online. It is now a profit center with many advertising deals in place.
The Mint.com Page on Facebook Mint has already over 38,000 passionate fans on its Facebook page. There is a lot of activity on the page.
Mint on Twitter @Mint has over 21,000 followers on twitter.
Mint's Money Tweets on Twitter Mint recently launched Money Tweet to keep track of valuable tweets for the Mint community.

Mint.com adds One Millionth User Mint became the fastest-growing personal finance software ever, reaching 1 million users in just 18 months.
A quote from Aaron: "Our mission has always been to help people save and do more with their money. Our rapid growth demonstrates that an unprecedented number of people are finding real value in what we offer. And this is just the beginning. We will continue to enhance our service while expanding in new directions. In dialog with our users, it’s clear that there are still significant ways in which we can help Americans better understand their finances, and make better-informed decisions, with our innovative approach to personal financial management.” I invite you to read the excellent post "Three Principles of Personal Finance: All You Need to Know for Financial Success" Aaron wrote a few days before his consultation with the National Economic Council at the White House.
Smartypig Teams Up with Money Management Sites SmartyPig, the leader in the social banking space, today announced the launch of its OFX Solution, enabling customers to add their SmartyPig accounts into their preferred money management sites. The integration syncs SmartyPig accounts directly into online account aggregators, including: Buxfer, Microsoft Money, Mint.com, MoneyStrands, Thrive, Wesabe and Yodlee. Geezeo and Rudder are coming soon.
A quote from Michael: “At SmartyPig we recognize how important it is to securely manage your finances, set goals and help change the credit card mindset of ‘buy now, pay later,’ that has contributed to the current downturn. Being able to see all your accounts in one place is a critical step in taking control of your finances. We selected an OFX solution because it’s the most widely adopted open standard for exchanging financial information between consumers and financial services, and we aimed to grant this ability to the largest possible number of customers.”
“Christophe's book is really the must-have synopsis of the current state-of-play in social media in banking. Christophe has taken a deep passion for the topic, and turned it into an account of the landscape valuable to anyone who has social media responsibilities in financial services” James Gardner, General Manager at Spigit
“Christophe is extremely well informed about the banking and financial services industries. He's at all the right conferences, and digs deep with his interviews of all the influencers and innovators. He's also a tremendously nice guy :-)” Aaron Patzer, Founder & CEO at Mint Software
“Christophe seems to have his finger on the pulse of the financial services industry. Visible Banking has become "the" source of information for innovations in the financial services industry.” Tim Collins, SVP-Experiential Marketing at Wells Fargo
