Bai and his co-founder\/CTO Sahil Phadnis are working with their two other team members to develop other features that will help users manage their personal finances on a daily basis, they told me. Pebble already has a feature that allows users to pay, track and manage their bills by snapping pictures of them and uploading them to the app, and is further developing payroll integrations, Bai explained.<\/p>\n

Like many fintech entrepreneurs, the co-founders are clear about their disdain for traditional banks, with their bevy of fees and often-antiquated tech interfaces. So how will Pebble differentiate itself from a bank?<\/p>\n

Bai was less clear about this. He said customers will be able to accumulate reward points for their activity on the app, called \u201cPebbles,\u201d but declined to share much detail on what those Pebbles actually enable or represent beyond that they\u2019ll be crypto-related in some way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re here for the crypto the Pebbles are key, and the more power you\u2019re going to have as we advance this platform and transition to a different stage,\u201d Bai said.<\/p>\n

Still, users don\u2019t need to be crypto-savvy to use Pebble, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be that bridge, from the web2 user to web3 through a very simple, attractive financial app, where people can hold their first digital assets without even knowing about it,\u201d Bai said.<\/p>\n
