Banking Apps can't handle weekly pay!
Most banking and budgeting apps assume a salary on the 1st. If you're paid weekly, self-employed etc, keeping control of finances breaks down fast.

Your money comes in weekly, but your bills don’t. Overpending between pay days, and you can be left short when commitments and BNPL arrive!

Most banking and budgeting apps assume a salary on the 1st. If you're paid weekly, self-employed etc, keeping control of finances breaks down fast.

Rent, bills, commitments and Pay-in-3 are difficult to keep track of, the squeeze only shows up after you've overspent!
How the 30-day forecast works →
Banks often don't take commitments or payments over the weekend. That overinflated figure can lull you into spending money you don't actually have.
Why weekend balances mislead →Your forecast graph shows where your money is heading, and the Spending Impact lets you see the consequences a large purchase will have. Whenever something doesn't make sense, your AI guide is there to help you understand it!
