Moneyspire

• Comprehensive personal finance
• Great features

Moneyspire is a relatively comprehensive personal finance software that gathers all financial data and manages it in one place. With so many branches of finance (bank accounts, credit cards, etc.) it can be difficult to keep track of the money that is going in or being spent. However, the Moneyspire platform will allow users to balance their checkbook and then subsequently organize all transactions in an effort to visually display just where all income is going. The capabilities of the Moneyspire platform is one of the most important benefits the service has to offer. Moneyspire has helped thousands of their customers see an increase in their savings account while also reducing debt and eliminating late payment (which subsequently improves credit as well). Current users have found the following services to be beneficial to their financial management:

• Bill Reminders: set reminders and see all upcoming payments so a bill is never late or forgotten again
• Budget: create a budget for all expenses and then keep close track of the progress to help stay focused
• Reporters: Moneyspire will generate detailed reports and charts so users can see exactly where the money is going (which also helps save time when reporting tax information comes around)

While Moneyspire may appear to be another typical budgeting app, there are a number of services offered that users will find helpful in their quest to improve the overall health of their finances. Specific features included in the Moneyspire platform are detailed as follows:

• Statements: Reconcile with your bank's statements to make sure every transaction is accounted for, and to prevent fraud and bank errors.
• Mobile: Use Moneyspire from a computer, tablet or phone. Stay on top of all finances with the Moneyspire companion app.

• Track accounts: Keep track of bank accounts, credit cards, etc. and see all account balances in one place.

• Track spending: Categorize spending & income. Balance checkbook & see where all money is going.
• Online Banking: Optionally import transactions from your financial institution's website, and Direct Connect and automatically download transactions and pay bills.

Moneyspire is compatible Mac OS X 10.7 or later (32 and 64-bit) and Windows XP or later (32 and 64-bit) on desktop/laptop computers. Additionally, the mobile app is compatible with both Apple and Android mobile devices. Users should check the accompanying app store for details.

• Not a SaaS
• Lacking information

Moneyspire is not SaaS (software as a service) compatible at this time. That means that users will not be able to log onto the Moneyspire website in an attempt to access finances. In order to see budgeting reports and charts, users will need to actually download the software onto their computer or mobile device. While this may create hesitancy for some, it is important to remember the following:

• Download is free
• Software is backed and secured
• Software can be deleted at any time

There is not much information regarding the actual systems and processes put in place to protect users' financial and personal data. While Moneyspire claims to utilize a secure platform, there are not necessarily any details provided as to exactly how that is done.
