Make life easy with our new Update 12 features!
One of the easiest ways to save money is knowing how you spend it. With this in mind, we have introduced Insights. 🔍
How does Insights work?
Insights will automatically show you an overview of your expenses and a breakdown of how much you have spent on entertainment, shopping, travel, groceries and more. You can access Insights through the Accounts screen of the app.
Based on your preference, you will be able to track your spending by calendar month or by pay cycle.
How can Insights help me?
If you want to establish good saving habits, tracking what you spend is a great first step! Research shows that seeing what you spend your money on can help you save up to 10%. Without any effort!
Looking to fill those Savings Goals and come up with even more ways to cut back on costs? This is an excellent tool to help you get there.
