We all know that not every app deserves space on our home screen. But every so often, something comes along that makes us hit download without a second thought. That’s exactly how we felt about the new KasKasan Buddies app, a one-stop hub for credit card hacks, promos, and money tips. But why do you need to download this app ASAP?

KasKasan Buddies app deserves a space in your phone

ICYDK, KasKasan Buddies (KKB) started as a massive online community where Filipinos swapped tips on maximizing their credit cards. It’s basically a goldmine for Pinoy deal hunters and cardholders. Now, they’ve launched their own app that brings all the best hacks together in one place. Think of it as your pocket-sized financial buddy.

You’ll find verified promos from dining and travel to cashback and shopping. According to the app description, KKB works directly with major banks, retailers, and restaurant groups in the country, so you know the info’s legit.

“Kaskasan Buddies works closely with major banks, retail stores, and restaurant groups in the Philippines. With our partnerships and community of over 1,100,000 members nationwide, you can be sure every promo and feature is verified and reliable,” reads the app’s description.

Currently, it’s available on the App Store (with a Google Play version scheduled to drop this month).

What features can you expect from the KasKasan Buddies app?

The app has a ton of features – from Credit Card Deals, Travel Tipid Tips, and FinTech Guides. If you loved the KasKasan Buddies community, the app is just like that but in a handy app on your phone. Here are features to expect:

PROMOS AND DEALS

There’s a Promos tab that lets you filter all sorts of deals (dining, cashback, travel, shopping, etc.) by cards you already own. Each entry comes with the nitty-gritty: promo duration, participating branches, and even direct links to official pages.

CREDIT CARD GUIDES

To Pinoys thinking of signing up for credit cards but are overwhelmed, the KKB app lays out everything – from welcome gifts to perks – all in a searchable database. Once you’ve made a credit card choice, you can even jump straight to the application page via official links.

KKBILLS (BILL TRACKER)

KasKasan Buddies app is not only a promos guide for credit card, it also doubles as a financial assistant. The KKBills tab lets you log your upcoming bills and track due dates in one neat dashboard.

And if you think it stops at bill tracking, you’re in for a treat. Developers are also working on a KKBayad, an upcoming feature that will help you split expenses with friends (no more awkward math after barkada dinners).

FINLIT 101

True to its advocacy of championing financial literacy for Filipinos, the app has a dedicated space for bite-sized videos and lessons on financial literacy. It’s ideal for anyone looking to improve their financial management skills.

Built from the needs of the community

Joram Bonus from the KasKasan Buddies Team tells 8List.ph that the idea for an app started in 2024 and kicked into development in 2025, just in time for the Facebook community’s third anniversary.

“The KasKasan Buddies App is our way of putting a true KKBuddy in everyone’s pocket; free, secure, and built from the needs of our community,” Joram Bonus, a KasKasan Buddies team member, shares with 8List.ph.

Aside from the KasKasan Buddies app being 100% free for anyone, what’s amazing about it is that it was born out of genuine desire to help Filipinos understand their finances and make smarter money decisions.

Bonus also shared that the project was spearheaded by Filipino content creator and credit card master Jax Reyes, one of KKB’s co-founders, together with the KasKasan Buddies Team.

Already topping the charts

In less than a week since launch, the KKB app has already snagged the #1 spot in Finance on the App Store.

One user gushed: “Helpful po siya lalo na sa akin na 12 ang credit card. User-friendly. Kudos KKB! Mamomonitor ko na ang mga bayarin.” Another praised its clean interface, saying it’s “almost a no-brainer app.”

If you’re serious about stretching your peso, the KasKasan Buddies app is worth the download.
