Launching April 27: A brand-new Wicked Pay

We said ✨new era✨ and meant it.

Hey Wicked Pay fam,

Happy Friday — and happy Financial Literacy Month! 🌱

Big things are happening. We’ve been heads down, rebuilding our mobile app from the ground up — and it’s almost time to show you what’s next.

This isn’t just a product update. It’s the beginning of a whole new era for Wicked Pay — and for how we think about money, habits, and community.

Let’s get into it.

🗒️ This week’s rundown:

🎊 We’re (re)launching Wicked Pay (feat. Lana 👀)

If you’ve been rocking with us for a while, you’re probably thinking - Wait... didn’t y’all already launch the app?

You’re absolutely right. We did.

When we launched Wicked Pay last year, we had a mission: help you get the most out of your credit cards. That meant showing you the best card to use at any moment, unlocking rewards, and simplifying the mess of credit card benefits.

But you gave us real feedback — and we took it to heart.

You told us about credit card debt. About feeling overwhelmed. About not understanding what’s going on with your money in the first place.

So we stopped. And we rebuilt.

On April 27, we’re launching something entirely new.

This version of Wicked Pay is about understanding your money, not just optimizing it.

We’re going back to the core of financial health:
Clarity.
Awareness.
Habits.

Here’s what’s coming:

🧠 Lana, your AI financial bestie

Lana isn’t just a tool. She’s your new favorite money coach, accountability buddy, and ride-or-die financial guardian angel. She's built into Wicked Pay and here to help you get it together — without shame, without jargon, without judgment.

She helps you make sense of everything:

  • Analyzes your transactions across all cards

  • Spots spending patterns and nudges you when things look off

  • Monitors your credit health like a hawk

  • Explains financial terms in plain English

  • Flags fees, interest, and upcoming bills — before they become a problem

But Lana isn’t just smart — she’s real. She talks like a friend who actually gets it. The one who hypes you up when you pay off debt, checks you when you're overspending, and helps you build better habits without the guilt trip.

She’s sharp, bold, and always on your side (well mostly 👀).

And she's just getting started.

What else is new?

📊 A crystal-clear financial dashboard

Your financial overview — all in one place.

  • Total balances across multiple credit cards

  • Utilization rate

  • Bills due

  • Spending insights & category breakdowns

  • Fees, interest, overdue alerts

This is just the beginning.

Our bigger vision? Helping you save money with your friends and build financial habits together — through social, gamified experiences. (More on that soon 👀)

But for now, we’re laying the foundation.

This new version of Wicked Pay gives you clarity on your finances, awareness of your habits, and guidance to actually improve them — not just chase rewards.

Because financial freedom isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about knowing where you stand, building steady habits, and having the right tools to back you up.

April 27. Be ready.

A new Wicked Pay is coming.

We’re so proud of what we’ve built — and we can’t wait for you to meet Lana.

Team Wicked Pay 💙
