Bud Financial and Fruition Form Alliance
In a strategic move to enhance its financial empowerment platform, Fruition has partnered with Bud Financial. This collaboration, announced in Fall 2023, aims to provide Fruition's members with enriched transaction data and intelligent, personalised financial insights.
Based in London, Bud Financial is a leading transaction enrichment and insights and analytics company. The partnership will see Fruition utilise Bud's platforms, Enrich and Engage, to deliver a more comprehensive financial overview to its members.
Enrich, Bud's transaction enrichment platform, converts raw transactional data into clear, easily understandable categories with recognisable merchant names. This simplifies and increases transparency in tracking spending for Fruition's members.
Fruition will also benefit from Bud's Engage solution, which delivers personalised financial insights through AI-driven analytics. This will help members make smarter financial decisions.
Another key element of the integration is Bud's Debt Paydown tool. This feature allows members to consolidate all their debts into a personalised repayment plan, visualise repayment scenarios, and understand potential interest savings, empowering users to manage and reduce debt efficiently.
Moreover, Bud Financial's Intelligent Search capability, powered by AI and Gen AI interfaces, gives Fruition members enhanced control over their financial data. This enables them to efficiently access and analyse specific transaction information to drive their financial goals.
Edward Maslaveckas, CEO and Co-Founder of Bud Financial, expressed that this partnership equips Fruition’s members with the tools for control over their financial futures, combining AI insights, relevant education, and expert guidance underpinned by Bud’s market-leading financial models.
The integration will also enable Folio, Fruition's offering, to deliver customised, targeted notifications to members based on their transaction data. This will further support members in making informed financial decisions.
Fruition, previously known as Mentoro, rebranded in October 2024. The partnership with Bud Financial marks a significant step in Fruition's mission to empower its members to take control of their finances and make more insightful decisions.
