Tools for transparency
With a rising cost of living, it’s never been more important to see your money clearly. We’re making sure you can, with:
Spending Insights
Get up close and personal with your spending habits – now customisable by date range with 58 categories. Keep tabs on rising costs and see exactly where your money is going.
Bills Manager
Set up a Space for all your essential spending to ring-fence your bills. Is it time to scrap those won’t-be-missed subscriptions? Tally them up in Bills Manager – then decide.
Spaces
Try the digital ‘envelope method’ by dividing up essential spending into Spaces – that could be petrol or household bills. Consider these virtual money pots a safer, smarter alternative to cash stuffing.
