Question 1

Hi. When are you launching? Once you do, what are your revenue goals for the first 5 years?

Accepted Answer

We just launched, we got in the app store on 10/31, however did our public announcement on 11/23. We are starting several marketing campaigns this week. Over the next five years, our revenue goals have us exceeding $40M in revenue annually.

Question 2

Hello, Is this banking service available only US citizens or can anyone in the world open an account? And why a red debit card when a black debit card would seem far more enticing to potential investors considering a black debit card is far more rarer than a red one?

All our cards will be fluorescent red (literally hurting your eyes), which we believe is a bit less boring than a black card. What makes it rare is the word "Owner" on the card, which you can only get if you invest more than $250.
