Investment Application

Pocket

Mobile App Development (iOS & Android)

Problem Statement

Many individuals in Thailand, especially those with little to no investment experience, find it difficult to start investing due to a lack of knowledge, confidence, and access to easy-to-use investment platforms. Traditional brokerage services and investment platforms can be complex, overwhelming, and intimidating for beginners, leading to hesitation and missed opportunities for wealth building.

Pocket, a mobile app by Phillip Capital Thailand, aims to bridge this gap by providing a user-friendly, intuitive, and educational investment experience. It simplifies the process of investing in mutual funds, Thai stocks, and US stocks, making it accessible for beginners while also offering tools to support their financial growth. By addressing barriers such as complexity, lack of guidance, and fear of financial risk, Pocket empowers users to take control of their financial future with confidence.

Objective:

To create a seamless and beginner-friendly investment platform that enables users with little or no investment experience to confidently invest in mutual funds, Thai stocks, and US stocks while growing their wealth.
