So you've got the Finder app and now you're wondering what you can do with it.
If you're looking for a way to get on top of your finances in one handy place, the Finder app has got your back. It automatically tracks your spending, hunts down personalised savings tips for you and sends you helpful alerts for you to keep track of your spending.
Best of all? All this will be delivered to your phone automatically once you connect your bank account.
We're going to look at the following:
Once you connect, we'll be able to give you personalised insights based on your spending history.
Here are some of the insights we can give you once you connect your bank account:
In short, we compare so you don't have to. And we're adding new insights all the time to help you save more.
You'll be able to see all your bills and recurring payments on the same screen. Think car insurance, mobile phone, Netflix, Spotify, energy bill, broadband, health insurance and even your transport costs.
This makes it easy to see if you're paying too much for some things or if you're overlapping on particular expenses.
We detect this all automatically, so all you have to do is connect your bank account and let us do the hard work.
Savings accounts, superannuation and investments? Yep! The Finder app consolidates all of these so you can view all your accounts in one place. It's pretty handy.
We'll then crunch this data and show you your current cash position. This is calculated by taking your available cash in your bank account and subtracting any debt you have.
It's a quick and easy way to see how your finances are looking.
If you're a little worried about connecting your bank account to the app, we totally get it. That's why we've made security our number one priority.
We've invested in bank-level security so your accounts stay safe and secure. We do this by using Yodlee, a global leader in banking technology and security. They've got tens of millions of consumers and are the go-to when it comes to secure hosting and financial data encryptions.
We comply with global data-privacy regulations. This means that we don't share your information with anyone unless you tell us to. We're also a read-only service, so we can't move any money in or out of your accounts. Authorised Finder employees have restricted and audited access to our systems for engineering and troubleshooting purposes only.

We love neobanks, we really do. But neobanks like Up, Xinja, Revolut, and 86 400 are currently incompatible with the Finder app, as well as a bunch of other financial apps. This is because they don't have the permissions set up for apps like ours to do our thing, whereas your typical bank does. If you want to dive into the technical mumbo-jumbo, head to our post on neobanks here.
Trying to connect a bank account but it's saying your login details are invalid? If that's the case, you might actually be trying to connect to the wrong bank name. We're currently working on resolving a bug with our search functionality that doesn't pull up all the bank accounts on our system. So if you're searching for St. George, you might only have one account option come up in our search, when there are actually 4 different options! Instead of using the search box, try using the alphabetised toggle on the right-hand side. If you struggle, just hit the chat icon at the bottom of this page and we'll help you out.
