About the Project

The FINBIT for Seafarers initiative is a collaboration between L-IFT and Spiritension designed to help seafarers better manage their finances, professional records, and wellbeing through the secure FINBIT mobile application.

Through the FINBIT for Seafarers Pre-Pilot, a small group of seafarers will gain early access to the app, using it to organise their finances and work experience while helping shape its development for the wider maritime community.

Purpose of the Pre-Pilot

The pre-pilot phase will:

  • Provide a small group of seafarers with early access to the FINBIT mobile application.

  • Enable participants to organise their finances, professional experience, and work documents in a secure and structured way.

  • Support seafarers in tracking income, recording work history, and managing important personal and professional records.

  • Allow participants to benefit from early adoption of a digital tool designed specifically for the needs of seafarers.

  • Collect practical feedback and insights from participants to improve and refine the FINBIT platform.

  • Help ensure that the application is developed in a way that reflects the real needs and experiences of the maritime community before wider rollout.

What Participants Will Do

Selected participants will:

  • Use the FINBIT app for approximately three months

  • Record information such as:

    • Income and expenses

    • Savings and financial planning

    • Work experience and certificates

    • Personal wellbeing indicators

  • Share feedback to improve the application

All information shared in the app will remain secure and confidential and will only be used for the purpose of this project.

Who Can Apply

This opportunity is open to:

  • Active seafarers worldwide

  • Seafarers interested in improving their financial management and career planning

  • Individuals willing to test a digital tool and provide feedback
