Qapital: Set & Forget Finances
Save. Invest. Share finances.
Created in partnership with behavioral economist Dan Ariely, this full-service banking app leverages science-based techniques to help you succeed at saving.
Who it’s for: Anybody looking to make saving easier—think simple steps, like rounding your purchases to the nearest dollar and setting aside the difference, or divvying up your paycheck automatically to make sure you’ve covered your financial commitments.
What sets it apart: Qapital offers the best of a finance app and an online bank (sign up for a free checking account and Visa debit card). This integration lets you automate, say, a savings transfer whenever you come in under your monthly coffee budget or hit your goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. (The app integrates beautifully with the Apple Health app.)
Don’t miss: The Dream Team feature that helps couples manage their savings, investments, and spending together.
Meet the creator: Cofounder and chief operating officer Katherine Salisbury launched Qapital in 2013 with her husband after the couple struggled to track the finances for their growing family with a traditional joint account.
