Thanks so much for the hunt @mubashariqbal!
Today, SimplyTapp is launching its consumer-facing payment, money transfer and shopping app, Gane, in the US. The fully digitized mobile app offers its customers the ability to redeem merchant based incentives and coupons at the same time as payment through the use of both Apple Pay and Android. This makes Gane an easy, secure and private way to shop, save, pay and transfer thatβs fast and convenient.
Gane is based on an automatic app-to-wallet integration that combines shopping incentive offers like Groupon, with the ability to buy goods and services in both brick and mortar as well as online shops like Visa, with P2P money transfer like Venmo. π°π°π°π°
@sethlouey@mubashariqbal Need to better understand this as it looks great on the face of it. Would love to know if there's a potential partnership for you with the largest gift card company in the US - let's catch up soon Seth and congrats on this. I really like your work :)
@sethlouey@mubashariqbal Blackhawk Network - see if there's a potential partnership for you there as I'm talking to their executive team about the landscape in the context of their business.
@ravsydney@seth i am one of the partners here at Gane. We hope to touch down in Oz later this year but that will depend on our partner and how quickly they can roll out Gane in one other key market. Seth send this man an handle of beer!
@sethlouey@kevinnewmanyo yes it works world wide for payments but we are restricting the users to US citizen for the time being. Kinda a bummer I know but it is the best way for Gane to gather the necessary feedback before further expansion. Would love to hear your direct feedback about your experience and what eatures resonate the most for you.
The meaning of cash is changing. Gane believes that cash in the digital format is going to be more fluid than today. I am waiting for someone to ask a question about why Gane is better than Venmo! Who is going ask the question? Please ask the question!
@rliriano well thanks for asking! Gane offers P2P money transfer that allows you to spend the money you receive instantly. No waiting, no fees. You need $15 from a buddy to buy lunch but remember while waiting in line to check out? With Gane the instant they send you the money you can use it immediately.
But Gane does not only make transferring money faster and more useful for real world instore purchases, Gane makes taking advantage of merchant deals and offers easier. No codes, or cut out paper coupons. Why should you have to present a specialized code at the register or before you order?
With Gane you don't we take care of that and do it instantly. Again, no waiting. This takes out the awkward exchange with the cashier or waiter. "oh, wait! I have a coupon!" No more. If you have the offer we apply it so you don't have to. No more getting a different level of service.
Also, Gane is integrated with Apple Pay so you can use in ever app that has integrated Apple Pay and that list is expanding rapidly. Gane works at the speed of life so you can enjoy life as it naturally unfolds.
Hope that was a helpful explanation.
@sethlouey - just tried to use it in Starbucks app with Apple Pay and got an error. Do you have to fund the account first - shouldn't the $10 credit cover it?
@mofodox Thanks dude. It works world wide for payments but we are restricting the users to US citizen for the time being. It the best way to test out the product right now.
The product has been great to build, and everyone on the team has helped to make this a great product that the will only get better with each adjustment, enhancement, and review. User feedback has been great so please share with us in whatever way is easiest. @ganeapp, FB, email or snap:GanePay "way better than Venmo" oh and if it is really great feedback you want to share with the world, there is always leaving a review on the app stores. wink!
@arielassaraf@ted_gives hmm... that's interesting. We do have some plans for more advanced offers and discovery in the near future.
Might have to download Ok Cupid to see their UX. (Better let my fiancee know before hand) π
@goldman_artem Thanks ! We aim to change the way people experience mobile commerce and the definition of currency at the retailers. We are seeing engagement increasing after a user makes their first tap! that is a great KPI
Ok, so I have invited all of my family and a few friends to try this out. I don't usually do this but ever since I ditched bank of America I have been trying to get them to try stuff like this out. So far the first two to answer asked me to stop sending them "game requests." That is something I have never done not even on Facebook.
@ted_gives well, it doesn't so much bother me. I just thought I would post that experience. People seem to barely read the text and mistake the word "Gane" for the word "Game." Not really sure if you could fix that. It doesn't really deter me from inviting more people though.
