Member-only story
A little over a year ago I wrote this article (linked here) about the top 5 personal finance apps in Australia. Or rather, the ones I’m using the most and deriving the most benefit from using.
The Finance Apps folder on my phone has recorded record growth this year and now numbers 55, up from 43 last year. If only money contained in the the apps in the folder was on the same growth trajectory.
Off the top of my head the list looked something like this (in no particular order):
- Revolut
- Stockspot
- Raiz
- Spriggy
- Frollo
I listed a few other worthy contenders in each segment, and so the list could quite easily have be re-categorised thusly:
- Neobank
- Robo-advisor
- Round-up / micro-investing
- Pocket money / kids
- Personal Financial Management (PFM)
The post or article recently boomeranged back on my radar so I thought it timely to review the 40 or so Fintech apps on my phone and my usage of them to see how things are looking a year later.
Surely, during “the year that is 2020,” during which we’ve all been exposed to such “strange & unprecedented” times, things might have changed?
And…alas, no.
