Hi, I'm Brad, a founder of Aster Key. Thank you for being the first community to try our product. We value your feedback. ❤️ Creating a personal financial statement is essential to understanding your finances and applying for loans such as mortgages. The Aster Key app is simple to use and generates a beautifully organized, verified financial statement in minutes. Aster Key is built with YOUR data security and data privacy top of mind. The app's purpose is to encrypt and store your financial data on YOUR phone (only), keeping it secure and anonymous. No one, not even Aster Key, can access your data. You are in complete control of who you share your data with, in an advertising-free environment. 🔒create a dynamically updated personal financial statement 🔒your financial data is stored on your phone, not on servers 🔒your financial data is stripped of personally identifiable information 🔒automatically updates and verifies your data 🔒all your financial data can now be viewed in one place 🔒re-usable over your lifetime 🔒use your financial statement when applying for a loan such as a mortgage 🔒perfect for business users that submit annual financial statements The difference between us and some of the big consumer finance apps such as Nerdwallet is we don't share your data with anyone. We believe you own your data and you should decide who sees it. We use many DeFi principles, but we built Aster Key to be super easy to use, work with mainstream lenders, and be available from the Apple and Google Play app stores. A big problem is when you apply for a loan, all that personal and financial data of yours is stored and passed around by lenders and the tech vendors they use. Your private data is stored on many servers -- along with the data of 1000s of other people. Hacker honey pots. 🍯🐝 To solve this, our first push is to create the most secure personal financial statement which is the foundation for more secure lending. Then in our next release, we are working with mainstream lenders that share our vision, and you will be able to use your Aster Key to get pre-approved ANONYMOUSLY for loans. Check it out. To start, you can self-verify all your financial info. You can also verify your data, and keep your profile updated. Verification is available where Plaid Open Finance is live such as US/Canada and several EU countries. We add our security enhancements to keep your data end-to-end secure.

Can I export my data if needed?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@yahu_b_sadiq Our first iteration of that is you can print yourself a, (anon) financial statement. You can always delete all your data at any time as well. We will think about export in other ways. Good point.
Kalpesh Bhalekar
@yahu_b_sadiq @bradblumberg Is there an Excel export in the roadmap?
Jennifer Blumberg
Gone is the mundane task of having to enter all your financial information over and over again! I love that you enter it once and the verified financial info updates automatically, and it's easy to update the self-verified.
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@jennifer_blumberg Thanks Jennifer! Currently, you can get those auto-updates via Plaid and Argyle in US, Canada and lots of EU countries. The difference with Aster Key is we end to end encrypt from any open finance service, and never let your financial data touch your personal data (different keys). YOUR data is stored only on YOUR phone, locked down. Not even Aster Key can access your data!
Jennifer Blumberg
@bradblumberg amazing! Finally a way that everything is secure and on MY phone versus being held by someone else and changing getting hacked!

Congrats on the launch! Really like the focus on privacy (reminds me of Brave vs Chrome, Duckduckgo vs Google, etc.). Do you have a personal story on the importance of safety in financial statements?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@daniyalbetween Yes based on a personal story! After our first start-up was acquired, I began paying attention to the many, many notices from lenders, finance apps and even Equifax the credit bureau. They were all alerting me that the data they had assembled about me had been hacked! Part of what we realized is that every single, and I mean every single lender, and even every big fintech, is 1) built upon the aging credit rails in the US 2) is built to close the loan and market to you - but data privacy and data security is given the back seat. So our first step to fix this is to put the consumer (YOU) in control of your data. And everyone else from banks to credit scorers can ask your permission for YOUR data! And even pay you to see your anon financial profile if you opt in.

Congrats on the launch! Really like that you can use this to apply for a loan without any privacy loss (huge). Some small caveats I found (take with a grain of salt as usual): -When I was being onboarded, I was told to "add financial sources" to complete my profile. I tried to find that part, but I realized it was at the bottom. IMO it should either be at the very top OR the next step of the onboarding flow. -When I went to the settings panel, I saw "Log In". I thought I wasn't logged in so I tried to do that, but it looks like that wasn't a log in button. -It looks like I can manually pick whichever value I want for my credit score. I entered 850 and it looks like there is no verification process. Any plans to tackle this?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@between_team Thank you David. You are very good or know someone on our dev team :). Yes, we already have move the "blue bar" add financial sources to the top in the next release to stores. You can also add by hitting "edit" in the dashboard and adding sources in the actual asset, debt, income category. Yes also to 2, that's in next release. Your 3rd point, we let you manually enter your credit score for now. We'll add verification of credit scores when we do our next major release in the Fall - when we add lenders to the app, that will pre-qualify you anonymously!

Congratulations on launching Aster Key on Product Hunt! 👏 It's great to see a personal financial statement app that prioritizes privacy and security through triple-masked protection. Aster Key's approach to anonymizing personal financial data using end-to-end encryption, deidentification, and blockchain technology is impressive. This robust privacy framework ensures that users can confidently manage their financial statements while maintaining the highest level of data protection. I commend your commitment to privacy and security, as it is a critical aspect when dealing with sensitive financial information. This focus on protecting user data is likely to resonate with individuals who prioritize privacy in their financial management tools. I appreciate your offer to reciprocate support on my future launches as well. Let's continue to support each other in our entrepreneurial endeavors! Wishing you the best of luck with Aster Key's launch on Product Hunt. I hope it garners the attention and recognition it deserves!

I think it has a great potential to be an alternative secure way to handle finances directly. The app is well structured and easy to use. I like the dashboard being able to see everything in one place.
