Have you ever wondered where your money goes each month? Help us create an innovative solution to educate people on how to save money!
At BlackRock we are building something great in Budapest, our new global technology and innovation hub, where we want to shape a culture in which challenge, development and innovation happens every day. Our mission as an organisation is to create a better financial future for our clients.
Saving money is not something intuitive for most people. Since money has gone digital, managing one’s assets has become an intangible experience that makes it difficult for most of us.
The challenge of this 24-hour Hackathon is to create a solution that will help people become more conscious about their spending habits. Your task will be to create a product or a service which can take any shape: an application, a subscription service, a gadget... anything you can think of. It’s all up to you and your team.
