# Achievements, Financial Milestones, and Discovery People use a fraction of what their banking app can do, and the habits they build get no acknowledgement. The old answer was a help system — an exhaustive list of every function nobody opened. Achievements solve the same problem in a format people actually engage with. Especially younger generations that have a love of exposure to video games. ## Benefits **For users** — iterative discovery of what Neo can do, at your own pace, plus comparison against other Neo users (only 5 % of neo users have this achievement). **For the product** — guided experience: any feature with low awareness gets an achievement attached to it. And gamified help — everything the system can do, listed in a modern, engaging way. **Audience** — this is for millennials and even more so for Gen Z. ## Achievements Keep conditions simple: buy groceries X times, get a subscription, earn $X cashback, make X purchases abroad, refer X friends, open savings account, something about credit score and so on. Names should be humorous, video-game style: | Condition | Name | | --- | --- | | Visit X museums and galleries | **Indiana Jones** | | Refer 11 friends | **Ocean’s Twelve** | | Make 5 digital purchases | **The Chosen Neo** | Some are thematic — FIFA World Cup, NHL playoffs, the Olympics. ## Rewards Needs a product team brainstorm. Reference point: Monobank started with an avatar, and achievements unlocked items for it — and the avatar is visible in social moments like shake-to-transfer and nearby transfer. Later they introduced marketplace where you get a discount proportional to the number of points that you got from the earning achievements. * * * _What achievement would you want on your profile first?_ ---

I LOVE this idea. It ties in to a secret program we’ve been developing. Out of curiosity, are there “real’” rewards associated? Or is it mostly recognition? ---

Nope, just recognition. At least from what I know. ---

They do the digital card designs too, right? I was talking to our CTO yesterday and apparently updating people’s virtual card designs is actually straightforward. I was thinking it would be cool to have people earn new designs as they complete fun monthly challenges. ---

They do, but they aren’t tied to the rewards. Designs are updated regularly based on events and news, and you can pick anytime you want. And I am now sure that it’s a good idea to lock all designs behind rewards, but fun monthly challenges is a nice idea!) Keep them both) Also, think about doulingo they have a monthly badge which doesn’t give you anything, but it still motivates people. But here you can give a little bit of tangible rewards as you say. Like FIFA 2026, it could be a generic card and another one that opens if you buy something in a bar X number of times, or something else. ---

Great tip, as always! I’ll let the tech team know.
