The Netherlands debt-free
More than 20% of all Dutch households have problematic debts. People with debts lose the financial overview and are ashamed of the situation, which makes the step to seek help even bigger. In order to help these people, ADG services group has developed an app in collaboration with various parties: fiKks. The app links participants to a so-called 'buddy'; someone who helps them to get rid of their payment delays free of charge and anonymously.

We are talking about maybe the last taboo in the Netherlands: money problems, often hidden. These do not only lead to debt, stress, frustration and apathy, but also costs society money. With fiKks we break this taboo and help people to discuss and quickly solve emerging money concerns.

The rise of fiKks
Through its philosophy of 'De Wil', ADG Services Group develops socially engaged activities, in which scalability comes first. Digital innovations often serve as a solution for this scalability. The company joins forces with Sosialforce, TRIMM, Reputations and DigitalMe.
After extensive research it appears that an app is the right tool to reach the target group. The tasks are divided: Sosialforce takes the lead in the process of building and launching the app, Reputations and DigitalMe take care of the entire brand experience and TRIMM builds the final application and manages the app on a technical level.

Behind the scenes at TRIMM
TRIMM is responsible for the backend implementation of the app. At this moment we are using a platform in Spring Boot. This technique is used to set up a residual API that processes, stores and combines data. This tailor-made solution brings data together in the right, structured and secure way. Privacy by design is an important core element of GDPR, especially in this data-driven project. Data of the participants is only stored to a very limited extent, at this moment only a postcode is needed to log in and use the app, however this information is not stored.

fiKks in the media
The news explodes when it is announced that former finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem registers as the first buddy. The app receives a lot of national media attention. Among others, the AD, RTL news, NIBUD, Linda. and BNR news radio communicate about the app. The news even reached the Royal Family: in February 2018 Queen Maxima visited Schuldenlab070. During this visit, the ADG services group informs the Queen about the initiative, development and further development of the app, and the potential for the Dutch population, both socially and socially.
