School project, following the rules of the Cannes Young Lions competition: to create a solution to a "problem" that couldn't have been fixed five years ago, using interactivity and/or social media.

 

We created an app to aware friends who are in debt to each other, but are too self-conscious about asking for their money back, which always ends up in awkward situations.

 

Thus, the app "Paga O Que Deves" ("Pay what you owe") helps fix the problem. Or at least it helps the lendee remember he/she owes money without the lender having to engage in an awkward social encounter.

 

The app enables you to register  how much and who is owing you money, as well as how many reminders the lendee should receive in order to pay you back. After a certain point, defined by you, if you still haven't seen your money back, the app allows you to share on social media that the lender doesn't pay what he owes, among other compelling ways.

 

As soon as the lendee pays you back, you confirm the transaction. The app also encloses your bank account information in order to ease the latter in case it's a large sum, as well as a page that informs the lendee about items that the lender would like to have and would accept instead of the actual money.
