8. Behavioral Science
Psychology of Savings Gamification
Congress passed the American Savings Promotion Act in 2014 to make PLSA’s a legal “no loss
lottery” savings vehicle for consumers. However, they’re only used in 20 states due to the
need to update state specific gambling/lottery laws
Enter Jarbux. We designed on the well studied and globally adopted PLSA
psychology principles to build a rewards-based savings product that could be used
by everyone
Prize Linked Savings Accounts (PLSA) attract new savers, increase savings rates and have
proven significantly more popular than traditional savings accounts

12. Ethical Considerations
UX/UI design principles
Manipulation has a negative connotation, but at its core, using habit forming design
principles is fundamentally about changing behavior
To manipulate is to “handle or control (a tool, mechanism, etc.), typically in a skillful manner.”
