OUR STORY

The biggest financial decisions, made with incomplete information.

People buy homes without knowing the real stamp duty bill. Sell crypto without understanding what they’ll owe. Work for decades without ever properly calculating what their retirement actually looks like.

Not because they’re careless — because the tools to make informed financial decisions sit behind paywalls, buried in government PDFs, or written in language built for accountants.

WHY WE EXIST

Money Snap was built to change that.

A financial calculator platform spanning seven markets. Every figure is sourced from official government data. Every calculator is built for the specific tax rules of its country.

Where it starts

Two companies. One lesson.

Before Money Snap, our founder worked across mass-market financial comparison and global cryptocurrency exchange — two companies on opposite ends of the financial spectrum.

01 Mass-Market

GoBear

Comparison platform, Southeast Asia

A regional financial comparison platform serving banking, insurance, and loan products across Southeast Asia. Acquired by Finder, Australia's largest financial product comparison platform.


Lesson

Scale through clarity.

02 Frontier

Binance

Cryptocurrency exchange

Working at the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange — across product, growth, and operations spanning multiple regulatory jurisdictions and a rapidly evolving global digital asset market.


Lesson

Clarity in chaos.

03 Today

Money Snap

Founder

Two very different companies. One consistent observation — clear, accurate financial information leads to better decisions. Money Snap applies that lesson across seven markets.


Lesson

Clarity for everyone.

"When you give people clear, accurate, accessible financial information — they make better decisions."

— One consistent lesson across two industries
The Problem

The cost of getting it wrong isn't abstract.

For the average person trying to plan their finances — or even just understand their own local tax system — the tools available today are often overwhelming, expensive, or inaccurate. The mistakes that result are concrete and personal.

Tax laws change every year

Contribution caps shift. Stamp duty thresholds move. Crypto tax rules are still evolving across most jurisdictions.

Government sites are complex

Rules buried under decades of legislation, formatted for accountants — not for the people they apply to.

Advisors are expensive

Independent financial advice often costs hundreds of dollars per session. And many existing online calculators are out of date, or built for one market and reused across others without local adjustment.

What it actually costs

Concrete mistakes, real money.

  • 01 An unexpected tax bill.
  • 02 A property purchase that exceeds budget.
  • 03 A retirement shortfall that wasn't planned for.
What Money Snap does

Built market by market.

A tax calculator built for Australia won't work for Singapore. A stamp duty tool built for the UK doesn't apply in Australia, where each state sets its own rules. Every Money Snap calculator is purpose-built for the specific rules, rates, and nuances of its market — not copy-pasted and relabelled.

Verified against the latest data.

Every rate checked regularly against published government figures — because accuracy isn't a feature, it's the foundation.

Money Snap doesn't give financial advice. We give you the numbers — clearly, accurately, and for free — so you can make your own informed decisions.

The Vision

Financial health shouldn't
depend on who you know.

A first-time homebuyer in Singapore can calculate their stamp duty in seconds.

A crypto investor in Australia can review the key tax considerations before seeking professional advice.

A worker in Auckland can see exactly what their KiwiSaver looks like at retirement.

Mission

Improve people's financial health and enable them to make more informed decisions — regardless of where they live, what they earn, or how much they know about tax.

One calculator at a time, across every market we operate in.

Why Choose Us

Four commitments. Held since day one.

01 Verified

Official government sources only

Every rate, threshold, and figure on Money Snap comes from ATO, IRAS, IRD, SARS, HMRC, Revenue, and CRA. No estimates. No guesswork. No outdated figures left to linger.

02 Local

Built market by market

Every calculator is purpose-built for the specific rules, rates, and nuances of its country — not a generic engine with a country dropdown bolted on top.

03 Experience

Finance industry expertise

Built by someone who has worked inside the financial industry at scale — across comparison platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges, and multi-market fintech products.

04 Free

Free for every user, every time
