Michael is the hipster, our brand building legend, with 15 years of experience in product design, marketing and management for the Betts Group. “It always comes back to the customer, every single decision we make for the business has to start and end with them.”
He loves solving problems, and has a genuine desire to help others work through their
issues. “Ari Save is all about helping others overcome the anxiety and stress that
comes with managing finances with a solution that is just so damn simple and fun
to use.” When he’s not working you’ll find Michael watching Netflix and doing puzzles
with his wife, at the park walking his dogs or playing league of legends.
How We
Got Started
We originally developed Ari Save to help Michael’s wife Mei. She was working 2 jobs with no over heads and yet she was always $5,000 in credit card debt. And Mei wasn’t alone, she was one of millions of Australian Millennial’s that were struggling to save.
So Michael got her income paid into his account, set aside money for her savings and bills and only sent her what she could actually spend. This concept worked so well we turned it into an app and Ari Save was born.
Why The Name
Ari Save
Ari Save was named after Aristotle and his philosophy “You are what you repeatedly do, excellence therefore, is not an act, but a habit.” Ari Save is designed to make customers spending and savings habits excellent with a system that’s so simple, they have no reason not to use it.
