Our Founders' Story

Yingteng Ng and Nadia Ismadi were classmates during A levels and have known each other for more than 10 years. They both have very different experiences with money but one common goal is to make savings happen without thinking about savings.

After a couple of years working for an asset management firm, Nadia realizes that she’s always wondering where all her money went and how she can save more effectively. It would be great if somehow savings were just magically done while she was going about her life.

Yingteng on the other hand, is great with money. Back when she was studying, she had a jar where she would drop a £1 coin every time she had them. At the end of the year, she got her mum a designer bag. It was then that she thought it would be great if somehow she could make a digital jar with various goals.

The two met up and shared this thought one fine day, and went on to create Pod.

That’s how Pod started.
