John Doe is a regular MIT student who is pretty nitpicky about his money and likes bills to be split equally. He really doesn’t mind paying for others, but gets annoyed when multiple people borrow money and then forget to pay it back. He finds that he can manually keep track of how much people owe him and how much he owes others, but finds that it’s simply too cumbersome and slow to be effective when there’s more than four people. Since John would use this app extensively as he likes to keep a detailed record about his money, he would like a simple user-interface that allows him to input records super efficiently.
Busy and Occasional Lender User Persona
Sally Smith is a small business owner who has been running her bakery in the "real world" for around 15 years. She lends out money to friends and relatives, but since she is so busy managing her bakery, she often forgets who she lends money to when it’s not related to business. She would use this app to help her keep track of who she lends money to, and to keep a record of who pays her back. She hopes that an app like this would allow her to worry less about the money she lends to her friends and family.
