About Penny

Penny is a personal finance app that helps you track your income and spending. Penny accesses your statement history, with your permission, and uses that information to help you manage your finances. Whenever you open the app, she’ll chat with you about your finances: letting you know how you’re doing this month, forecasting where you’ll be next month, giving you a heads up about upcoming bills, or even helping you cancel services you don’t use. Penny makes finances less intimidating and stressful. Many apps have lots of useful features, but they’re often hard to use and time-consuming. Penny automatically organizes your finances, explains them simply and clearly, and tells you what you need to know, when you need to know it.
