Do you find it hard to save and invest your hard-earned money? This app that aims to “build the future of banking,” can help you accomplish that task by giving you access to lots of tools. It has great reviews on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

How Does It Work?

The primary purpose of this app is to make the process of saving money easier. So once you download the app on your Apple or Android device, you will be asked to connect it to your bank account and debit card.

Best Features

Qapital offers a great variety of excellent features for people who have trouble saving money so that you don’t have to think about it as much.

The first one is called round-up. It works by rounding up your debit card purchases to the nearest dollar. For instance, if you buy something that costs $1.50, it will set aside $.50 for savings. You can also round it up to the next $2, $3, $4 or $5.

You can also schedule a fixed amount to save daily, weekly, or even monthly, that you want to save so that you can set and forget.

It also allows you to create a “Spending Sweet Spot”, so that you take better control of your expenses, by sending you notifications when you are close to your spending target.

This app assists you in creating a budget, without having to make huge sacrifices. Let’s say you really want to buy something, you can set it to automatically save the dollars for you to accomplish that purchasing goal. It also rewards you if you spend less money than you planned to do, by saving the difference and transferring to a spending goal.

Qapital is also an excellent choice for freelancers because it allows you to set money aside for taxes automatically.
