Statement is the app where every post is backed by a real transaction. Real people. Real experiences. Proof attached. When you make a Statement, it’s because you actually went there, bought it or tried it yourself. Your transaction proves it happened. You add the photo, opinion and story behind it. Make a Statement. Bring the receipts. With Statement you can: • Turn real transactions into content worth sharing • Add photos and tell the story behind your experience • Share where you went, what you tried and what you really thought • Discover places through people who’ve actually been there • Get recognised by the businesses you support when they respond to your Statements • Give Props to Statements you trust and like • Unlock achievements and build your verified track record over time • Explore the map to discover what’s worth trying nearby • Share your Statements anywhere, they’re designed to travel Every Statement starts with something real: a verified transaction. Proof that it actually happened. So when someone recommends a restaurant, shares their latest purchase or tells you somewhere is worth visiting, there’s proof they were actually a customer. Statement is free to use. Your financial data is anonymised, encrypted and never sold. We use secure banking technology to verify transactions. We never see your banking login details and we can’t move your money
