Think Twice

Talk with your money. Then keep it.

Why this matters

One in three Europeans cannot cover a surprise bill. Small payments are why.

How we solve it

A coach in your bank's app, and a lock that makes you pause before you pay.

The phone on the rightbelow is the app. Try it: tap "Next payment" and double-press the side button to pay, or ask the coach a question.

Set up in a minute

Three steps. Your bank does the sign-in.

  1. Connect your bank.You approve on the bank's own page. Think Twice can read payments and cannot move money.
  2. Choose how strict.One slider, from "Broke by Friday" to "Financially Free". It shows what the lock would have saved you last month.
  3. Add the card.Payments on this card can be locked. Your bank card stays as it is.

Made for the S-Pankki app. Think Twice is designed to work inside S-mobiili, S-Pankki's mobile app: it runs on the structure of the bank's own transaction data, and the bank handles sign-in and approval. It is a Junction 2026 prototype and is not in S-mobiili today.

What is real here. The app on this page is a working copy of the iPhone prototype: the figures, the lock, the games and the coach's answers are computed in your browser from one synthetic customer. The bank connection, the card and the declined payment are simulated, and no money moves. The live AI model is used only in the iPhone build. Nothing has been tested with users yet.
