MoneyMap features
Here’s a roundup of all the cool features you’ll find in MoneyMap, plus video tutorials for each! (How exciting is that?!)
- Accounts – Get a consolidated 360° view of your finances from a single dashboard by adding your accounts from almost any financial institution. Select the “+Add Account” button to get started! (To view accounts at another financial institution, you must have online access set up at that institution.) Watch the video tutorial.
- Transactions – Transactions from all of your accounts are automatically categorized for your convenience and you can also customize the assigned categories at any time. Watch the video tutorial.
- Spending – See how much you have spent on pretty much any category and easily visualize your spending to see where you’re succeeding and where you can improve. Watch the video tutorial.
- Budgets – Track how close you are to hitting your budget throughout the month. Budgets can help you set realistic monthly spending limits and avoid exceeding those limits. Watch the video tutorial.
- Trends – See a simple, easy to follow visualization of your financial history so you can tell if you’re living within your means and where you can improve. Watch the video tutorial.
- Debts – View all your outstanding debt in a single view and calculate different payment options. The Debts tab teaches you how to use the snowball method, a debt-payment strategy that can dramatically reduce both the time it takes to pay off debt and the amount of interest you’ll pay. Watch the video tutorial.
- Net Worth – Determine your actual net worth by adding as many accounts as possible, including your property and debts. MoneyMap will calculate your net worth and automatically update it as you spend, get a raise or pay off loans. Watch the video tutorial.
- Goals – Easily manage your goals like saving for retirement, paying off a car loan, and more by visualizing them on a simple timeline. Your progress will automatically update as you put money into a savings account or pay off a debt. Watch the video tutorial.
- Cash Flow – Quickly review your transactions to better understand your historical spending and predict future spending. Cash Flow tab allows you to easily identify and add recurring bills and payments, as well as one-time or annual payments such as property tax. It helps you see the impact of upcoming payments and plan ahead. Watch the video tutorial.
