Feature request: Can you please add a router to my bank account and make it recommended in the UI? Kthx!
@rrhoover Hey Ryan! Oren here, Sequence CTO. You got it! just reply here with your account and routing numbers. 😉
It seems the right way to route our money. Why didn't this exist before? I'm kind of lost in where my finances are... got like 7 bank accounts hahahaha
Omg. Can't believe you created a workflow builder for money 🤩
That sounds horribly complex :)
Is it only for individuals or is it also for small businesses?
Hello Product Hunt 👋, I’m Gilad, the CEO of Sequence. Thanks, @benln , for hunting us!
🚀 Excited to launch Sequence on Product Hunt today! Let me share why we’re building Sequence and why it’s a game-changer.
The Problem:
Gone are the days of a single point of contact at your local bank for all financial needs. Now, the average American juggles ~15 different accounts, from credit cards to fintech apps. This fragmentation has made it challenging to track, manage, and optimize our financial lives. That’s where Sequence steps in.
With Sequence, you can:
🔌 Connect & 👀 Visualize:
Consolidate all your financial accounts in one intuitive, dynamic UI. Visualize your entire financial landscape across various platforms.
🤖 Automate:
Set up smart automations to boost savings and optimize finances, based on criteria like dates and balance status.
🎬 Take Action & Get the Full Picture:
Unlike others, Sequence isn't just for viewing – it's for doing. Move money and execute financial strategies directly from our platform.
We're here and eager to answer your questions and hear your thoughts. Let’s chat!
@gilad_uziely congrats, Gilad & team! As a Fintech junkie (and former operator in the space) I’m excited to play around with Sequence.
I was surprised to see you don’t offer a free trial; can you share more behind your thinking on this? Always curious to learn about non-conventional approaches. 🙂
Also, curious to better understand how your Pods are set up: are you creating ad-hoc proxy accounts that hold individual users’ funds?
Lastly, kudos on launching with a community! Community-driven growth is a big area of opportunity, IMO, especially for a product like this. 🔥
@malaparte - sorry for being slow here and THANK YOU for your kind words.
Great questions.
1 - About free trials/tiers:
Here’s how we see it. When building new products the very first (high level) steps should be:
- Hack Conviction - Ideally, before building anything, you’d optimize for getting to conviction. Best thing here is to sell before you build. It’s hard and not always doable. We did it. Here’s a podcast with our story: https://codestory.co/podcast/e8-...
- Hack Value - basically here you are optimizing for learning. This is where we are now. We care less about growth and we are looking to provide the highest value for the right audience. In this stage you have to work very closely with your early adopters (that’s you guys) and need to be very careful with what feedback you take and which parts of it you ignore. If you offer a free tier or trial you might get confused as the feedback comes from people who don’t feel enough pain or get excited enough to actually pay for what you build. Here’s a good podcast talking about this: https://medium.com/starting-grea...
For these 2 stages, your best friend is friction. It is counterintuitive as we love slick, fast, easy and most of all, converting products BUT by increasing friction the signals you’ll get will be much stronger and will really help you focus on what’s important. That’s why when we were optimizing for conviction we charged $200 (lifetime deal) for a product we haven’t even started building (money back guaranteed of course) and now when we optimize for learning, we do not offer a free tier/trial.
- Hack Growth - we are not there just yet although we are growing faster that we could imagine. But in this stage you focus on growth metrics and then free tier might make more sense but again, not always.
As for pods, pods are bank accounts. Here's more info: https://support.getsequence.io/h...
Finally IFTTT/Zapier for banking 😄
I was wondering when we'll get robots to do financig for us, "today" is obviously the answer 😄🚀
I've honestly wanted this for years... I cannot tell you how many times I was frustrated that there was no easy way to build something like this. Automating deposits into my specific accounts, like for investing or other reasons, is game changing.
I love the app and will definitely be looking into it more. Congrats on the successful launch today :) We launched our project Jellypod also today, if you have a chance to check it out! You're crushing us ;)
@ralic We never block transactions. Each transaction over your plan will cost an additional $0.50.
@nuno_ms_reis well... We don't want to hold your money. We believe that there's an opportunity to build a money router to help you put your money in the best place, in context and programatically. IFTTT for money.
👀 This looks cool, BUT please please please consider open sourcing your product for the good of humanity and treacherous evil of the banking system. ❤️ Otherwise we have to count on your company being around to do things as serious as routing our money. If your acquired or go out of business we would be potentially doomed. This is the only reason I would ***never*** use this product.
💡 Bright idea
I've been a paying customer for a while now. Overall, I'm very happy with it. There are some minor wrinkles here and there, but mostly as a result of the banking infrastructure they must depend upon rather than the service itself.
The team is also very proactive about engaging with their early users. I've had some good conversations with them. They're working hard on their banking partners to iron out the wrinkles - and making headway. They're also receptive to different perspectives from their users, which is always refreshing.
It is already very useful, and I'm excited to see how this evolves over time.
@paulchambers Hey Paul 👋
Great to see you here ❤️
Thank you for the kind words. The team really works hard to make the best version of Sequence possible. The only way for us to do this is to really listen to our customers and just to our best to make them happy.
Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you!
Looks amazing!
I run a marketing agency and I follow the Profit First bookkeeping system.
Can I use Sequence to implement Profit First?
Love this product! It just makes too much sense. Fantastic work @orenr and @uzielygilad!! Listen to a bit of the story here, on Code Story: https://codestory.co/podcast/e8-...
@orenr @uzielygilad @noah_labhart1 - Noah, great to see you here my friend! Had a blast diving deep into why and how we are building Sequence on Code Story 🙏❤️🙏
@on Great question! Two main places:
1. The Sequence Playground where you can check out a bunch of templates: https://www.getsequence.io/playg...
2. Our Discord community. Some really smart people are hanging in there: https://discord.gg/ArWT2tutX2
Such an amazing concept! Too excited to it out. I was on the search for such a financial tool and her i am. Since this will be my initial days of starting off with Sequence @esteban_kramer_sequence is there a particular feature or a part of it that i must explore?
@esteban_kramer_sequence @payal_singhvi
Thank you for the feedback (we are excited about Sequence too) :)
I guess the thing that makes Sequence special is the strong and highly customizable rules engine that help you execute any financial strategy you’d like.
Check out a couple of our videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@getsequ...
interesting idea to visualized money flow, i am a visual person, that provides me definitely a better overview than excel sheets, congratulations to your launch, top!!!!
@abracadabrawork Thank you!
Would love to get your feedback after giving Sequence a spin.
You are also welcome to join the conversation on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/Qx27TGKWvX
Before Sequence, I found it challenging to effectively manage funds and liabilities to ensure that all payments and auto-payments were handled seamlessly and on time. I suffer from ADHD and bills usually end up in a "Doom box" to deal with later. When I shared my story, I found others who were also losing money to fees and damaging their credit rating.
Now, with Sequence, the game-changing tool that has been missing from every budget tracking / bill payer system I have ever used. Funds just work for me. The bills are always paid ahead of time using Sequences' pods. Each bill is set with rules. As a deposit comes in, the rules take care of the rest. No more late fees. What's left after my rules, go to my e-fund, savings, and checking but, you can set it up however you want to that works for you.
It's powerful by its simplicity. Visualize the money ahead of time, set rules to make payments as you get paid and balance your financial life. Free up your time and financial stresses with Sequence.
@elisha_powers Oh man ❤️
Thank you so much for writing this! I'm just speechless 🙏
