Keep finances on track with MoneyWiz

Depending on who you ask, personal finance is either boring, confusing, or absolutely essential. The older you get, the more you realize those in the last camp were right all along. Managing your personal finances can seem intimidating, but it’s an absolutely essential skill to develop, especially once you start thinking how to prepare for retirement.

Track all of your personal finances in one place

MoneyWiz takes some of the pain out of watching your pocketbook with a suite of innovative features. Team behind the app has been cooking a giant upgrade for some time now and it’s finally out. It’s more than exciting because they have introduced a whole set of features that weren’t present in the previous version. Let’s get an overview of what’s in the app and what’s new.

First and foremost — support for cryptocurrencies. With this move, MoneyWiz becomes the firs personal finance app with all your crypto-trade. Not just bitcoin, all currencies and altcoins are included, together with trades from major exchanges and wallets to keep you posted. Then, the MoneyWiz team did a light makeover of the old interface and introduced a sleeker and smoother design. 

Your transactions can now have multiple components, like expense, income, and transfer, all in one. You’ll also be glad to find FOREX support if you’re into trading. You also won’t have to wait for your bank accounts to sync upon launch because MoneyWiz now has background sync and everything that happened to your accounts while you were away is already updated when you open the app.

The latest version of MoneyWiz finance app lets you:

• Sync with your bank accounts to keep balances up to date
• Keep accounts in all currencies, including crypto and alcoins
• View FOREX trades
• Bulk editing of accounts (import/export)
• Log transactions and set budgets
• Predict expenses and savings
• Schedule recurring payments. 

The time you invest up front into customizing the app will pay dividends later on when you’re avoiding overdraft fees, saving consistently, and enjoying the app’s automated visualizations. There are a few tips to get you started.
