Our take
Cino addresses the common challenge of shared expenses by transforming payments into a social experience. By linking everyone's bank accounts to a single virtual card, Cino eliminates the hassle of IOUs and enables seamless group payments. It's building seamless way for people to pay together for their daily, weekly, and monthly shared costs.
This approach particularly resonates with couples, roommates, friends and Gen Zers, who value Cino's user-friendly interface and intuitive design. Recognising the changing landscape of financial interactions, Cino strives to meet modern preferences for collaborative financial management.
Backed by substantial funding and winners of the Mastercard Lighthouse and Semifinalist of TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, Cino is positioned to extend its impact within the fintech sector. As the company continues to innovate, it aims to redefine the social dynamics of finance by fostering transparency and solidarity among peers. It's also planning to expand its product range to help with different customers and businesses - especially in the fintech sector - and use cases to enable paying together everywhere.
