FinWise – The modern way to manage your personal finances

Hi everyone, I'd like to share FinWise ( https://finwiseapp.io ) with you, which my wife and I have been building over the last few months. FinWise is an all-in-one personal finance management tool, including budgeting, net-worth tracking, financial planning & forecasting and a couple of other things which we're still busy working on like couples/family budgeting and being able to set and track goals. It's designed to make managing all your personal finances as simple, easy and painless as possible, and we've put a lot of effort into making the website as simple and intuitive, whilst still being powerful and offering a comprehensive set of personal finance tools. A non-exhaustive list of things you can do with FinWise: - Connect your bank & investments accounts with Plaid & Yodlee (Or manual imports). - Currently US, CA and ZA. EU, NZ, AU and others coming soon! - Track and visualize your net-worth. - Budget and save money. - AI transaction categorization (You almost never have to manually categorize your transactions). - Transaction splitting, tags, notes and attachments. - Import transactions with CSV files from Mint/Empower etc. - Export account, transaction and insights data to CSV. - Plan, project and forecast your future finances (In beta). - Spending, saving and net-worth insights and analytics. - Multi-currency support. - Goals and goal-tracking (Coming soon). - Developer API access (Coming soon). - iOS/Android app (Coming soon). - Privacy-focused. No ads, selling data or anything like that. - Just about SOC2 and ISO compliant (No certificates yet, but I've done a few SOC2 certifications in the past.) We made FinWise because we were not able to find a personal finance tool out there which offered all the features we wanted, and which was simple, intuitive and easy to use. There are lots of personal finances apps around, but we felt most were either too basic, over-complicated or too expensive, or limiting in some way. We're now on a mission to build the best personal finance app out there, and to help as many people as possible to better save, grow and manage their money.
