The app, developed in collaboration with Engage Financial Technology, has been designed to help track expenses made using the ClearSpend Visa card.
It automatically creates personalised budgets following 30 days of spending, which clients are allowed to adjust depending on their monthly spending habits.
The app also provides real-time in-app mobile alerts, comprising information on transaction amounts and locations, current balances and category budgeting trends, in order to help customers monitor spending.
Clients are allowed to block or unblock a card, and report a card lost or stolen from within the app.

"The cards are more mainstream now and expectations have risen. Clients expect greater account management functionality, and we’ve responded with one of the most convenient and easy-to-use products in the industry."
