FinCap Friday: Cupid's Credit Check

A new dating app called “SCORE” promises to help you find true love, but only if you've got a good credit score! The creators of the app are from a lifestyle financial platform called "Neon Money Club" and their whole idea is to encourage prospective daters to prioritize financial compatibility. While some people praise the app for its practical approach to finding a partner that's on the same page when it comes to money, others criticize it for reducing personal connections to numerical values, raising questions about privacy and the role of financial data in social interactions.
