Save money, invest, and budget automatically with Qapital – an app that makes financial decision-making easier on the brain. Studying behavioral economics taught us that humans are simply not wired to process tradeoffs between spending now and saving for later. So, we put together a team of product experts and finance pros to build automated money management solutions that are simple to use and easy to stick with. Try Qapital free for 30 days, then $6/month. ***** Qapital helps you to put away a little bit every week. It’s the easiest way to save for things like: presents, birthdays, vacations, and emergency funds. 1. Set unlimited money saving goals Set as many goals as you’d like, personalize them, move money to them automatically, and track your progress as you go. 2. Budget with smart rules Qapital transfers money from your checking account to Qapital savings using the rules you set. We help you build rules around habits you already have. That way, you can save when you buy a treat, or go for a run. 3. Save money & invest in ETFs Automatically set money aside for savings and investing goals when you get paid, when you shop, or whenever works best for you. 4. Spend smarter Set money aside for weekly spending with the Qapital Visa® debit card. Shop anywhere Visa® is accepted, get cash from ATMs world-wide, and get notified when you’re close to your weekly budget. 5. Invite a partner and team up on your goals Qapital Dream Team™ lets you save toward shared goals and see one another’s transactions without giving up your individual accounts. You decide what’s shared and what’s private, always. ***** Qapital is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Checking account provided by Lincoln Savings Bank, Member FDIC.

Amazing savings
09/14/2023

By far easier to use and better for savings than other apps. The rules thing is cool where you set how to save, I did round up every $2, the 52 week rule, set and forget $10 a month, and spend less at a couple fast food restaurants and I’m projected $3000 in 6 months. I’ve done it before so it’s all very accurate. I like that you can add a partner to it now like a spouse etc so you both can save into something. And I’ve also done the investment portion where you can take that savings acct or a different one and tell the app how aggressive to be for investments it’s all super legit and I tell everyone about it I can. There’s a delay of money transfer on purpose because the app tries to make sure your bank has the money. And if you ever see your next “transfer” saying something like $200 don’t freak out lol that’s just the money it’s accumulated but the transfer portions are smaller based on what was calculated per transfer period which seems to be every few days or so. I only know this because it scared me once because I wasn’t expecting to budget that heavy one week but then it only took like $30 and the rest was the next week. It also adds up quick if you don’t have the money in your bank so the transfer money can get high. You can let it ride like I do or what I’ve also done is cancel a transfer or some of the transfer and continue later

Saving money always felt like taking something away from my present self to give to my future self, so I rarely did it. But with Qapital, I find myself jealously guarding my savings, and trying to find more reasons to save. It's a wonderful concept, and it works great. Plus, if you get their debit card, they pay interest on all savings; better interest than many other banks offer. And now they offer automatic and commission-free (which is not to say without charge) investing. I've looked over their fund picks; they're good ones. They've got an interesting approach to diversifying your investments that I like. By far the biggest flaw is the lack of a free tier. Having a savings account—even a spiffy one like this—shouldn't cost $6/mo. Remember, they make money off your savings. Paying for investing—and even checking—is okay, but the basic features should be free. I find it hard to recommend this app to friends without a free option. The only other real flaw is that you can't exclude some transactions from the Rules. There are tons of possible options for saving, but I only use the Payday rule, saving 10% of every paycheck (split between various savings and investment accounts), and Set and Forget to build up savings for my next car. I do wish they had a more aggressive portfolio, something like an S&P 500 Index, getting ~10% returns.

Nice way to start emergency fund

I love using this app. Very easy to use. I just wish the deposits were more frequent. I use the set and forget rule added with round up rule. Picked to have $2 dollars a day, because who would notice just few dollars a day? Except, it builds up and then by the time it does come out it’s a big enough amount that I notice (at times over $60) I recommend getting the debit card. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait a few days for the money to be put back in your account, which is a pain if this is your emergency fund. Update: I have still been loving this app. I don’t really use it for savings. I take what I’ve earned each week from round up rule and transfer it to my debit card. Then that’s what I use for the week for lunch at work. The only thing I’ve seen change since I started using Qapital, was they now charge monthly fee. Not sure of the prices, I started using this so long ago that I was grandfathered in on the account type I was using. They still only deposit money in your account on certain days. But I did discover that if it’s starting to get higher then you really could afford, that you can go in and cancel pending deposits individually until you get down to the amount you’re wanting. And if your primary account gets down to a certain amount,(believe $150) then they will pause withdrawing from that account. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because of their deposit schedule. Otherwise I love this app

My 6 week experience with Qapital

I had been thinking about a way to be able to save money exactly this way I had really wished my bank did something like this but unfortunately they do not. So I came across Qapital and it sounded great. I was very skeptical bc this is my money we are talking about! I did a lot of research for a good year before I felt comfortable enough to finally download the app and give it a chance. I am really glad I did bc it’s been almost 6 weeks and I’ve already saved 363$! I started this savings for extra spending money for my upcoming anniversary trip to Las Vegas, at this rate by the time we go in a few weeks I should have at least 500$ extra to take with me! I am not good at saving at all so this has been awesome for me. I couldn’t of been able to save like this on my own so I’m very happy with the app so far! Only thing I would change but isn’t really a big deal is that they would take the money out at the time of transactions and not in batches a few times a week which like I said isn’t a big thing but I would change that if I could other than that I give it 5 stars so far! Hopefully that doesn’t change in the future but so far so good! 👍Update: So I’ve been using Qapital for about 6 months now and I’m loving the app it has been a lifesaver for me!
