How does one use gamification to make banking exciting?

There is a famous case with Steve Jobs that basically says users/customers have no idea what they want, until they are shown it, and more specifically: sold to it. And also another well-known angle: people you talk to directly usually tell you: "this is a good idea" or smth of that kind - friends / family / and even strangers - because they are afraid to hurt your feelings or sounds too harsh. Talking to users is not a reliable metric according to these examples. So whats left if we cant trust potential users?

I’m actually interested about something else - getsven has dream.getsven.com - it is an idea killer. It evaluates proposals and reveals weaknesses and strengths - so that i can evaluate any idea and quickly understand whether at has any meats to it (is it worth building?). Is this a valuable v1 tool, and if so, what are possible v2s?
