Transformance Targets Faith-Based Audiences With App

Dallas, 06/30/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Nonprofit Brings Pocket Change USA Directly to Congregants

Transformance Inc., a Texas-based nonprofit dedicated to creating an integrated services delivery model for economic empowerment, has recently launched their first consumer app, Pocket Change USA. and they’re hoping that introducing the app to a non-secular audience will improve its reach in teaching the Bible’s lessons of good stewardship.

“There is a key spiritual message in the Bible regarding how we manage our money through wisdom and good stewardship,” says Ken Goodgames, CEO of Transformance. “We believe that Pocket Change USA can be a catalyst for congregations to achieve this level of wisdom. It’s designed to reinforce the lessons we read in chapters such as Proverbs, which counsels, ‘Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom when they are not able to understand it?’”

Pocket Change USA represents a distinct departure from the manner in which most credit counseling services traditionally deliver their core service of one-on-one interactions. With the app, users will now have 24/7 accessibility to Transformance’s financial literacy and educational resources, right at their fingertips. The app’s features are interactive, gamified and outcome-driven with both measurements and analytics.

Pocket Change USA consists of four different features, each benefitting the end user in a unique way:

Learn – Users learn about the concepts that make up financial health, like saving for the future, making budgets and eliminating debt. Users begin with the basics and become experts through engaging videos, infographics, and interactive lessons.

Play – Users play games that allow them to practice their skills and have fun. A wide variety of games test understanding of important concepts and challenge users to put them into action.

Plan – Users plan on tackling day-to-day needs with interactive resources that help with finances. Users can choose a path, such as developing a plan to create a rainy day fund or track their own personal spending habits.

Connect – Users connect with Transformance in order to receive immediate assistance. Real-time chats, forums, and questions are answered by Transformance financial coaches.

Transformance hopes to reach up to one million young adults and families with Pocket Change USA, over 80 percent of whom are in the aged 18-44 target market, where financial lessons matter the most. They hope the end result is the creation of financially accountable faith-based congregations capable of fostering sustainability in their own communities.

Users can download the free 1.0 version of the app from The App Store or Google Play. In addition, an online version of the app is available for non-smartphone users at the Pocket Change USA official website, www.pocketchangeusa.org.
