No scams: Which tools truly help you #GetMoneyFit?
Avoid get-rich-quick schemes! Use these apps and platforms to keep your finances in shape.
In a digital world filled with financial apps and platforms, it’s tempting to chase after quick cash promises from software developers. But many of the ‘money-making apps’ you see advertised on social media are just smoke and mirrors, promising the world but delivering nothing but scams. They might even sneakily swipe your data or cash along the way.
If you’re serious about your finances and determined to #GetMoneyFit, there’s no point in relying on dodgy equipment. You need the best kit to achieve your personal best in financial management, just like you do when working out.
Best apps and platforms to make your finances fitter
We have digital apps and online platforms for all sorts of things, from gym routines to daily horoscopes. But how do you find the best digital tools to get your finances in better shape? Are there any apps or platforms that can help you save money and become more financially savvy?
Yes – quite a few. Here’s a list of some that might interest you.
To improve your financial literacy
Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the easier it is to make better financial decisions. Apps like YouTube, Udemy, and LinkedIn can be handy sources of knowledge about finances and money-saving tips. You can learn about saving for retirement, starting a business, or breaking bad spending habits.
Online platforms like MoneyEDGE and Nedbank’s financial education blogs are also good learning tools.
Stick to a trusted, reputable source
To make budgeting easy
Budgeting doesn’t have to mean spreadsheets. There are tools to simplify the process, whether you’re creating a monthly budget or planning a specific expense, like a holiday or a deposit on a home loan.
Digital banking apps often include helpful budgeting functions. MoneyTracker on the Nedbank Money app is an integrated budgeting tool that pulls information about your spending directly from your account, so you can tell at a glance whether you’ve been overspending. You’ll also find the credit score checker and MyPocket savings options on the Money app useful to improve your financial fitness.
To spend less or get more value
Loyalty programmes are hidden gems for savings – performance-boosting supplements to help you #GetMoneyFit. Most retailers have store-specific apps that help you keep track of your points and their expiry dates. Some apps will even give you personalised discount vouchers for products that you buy regularly, or that they think might interest you.
If you have an account with Nedbank and you’ve signed up for Greenbacks, you’ll not only get cashback, but also discounts on travel, electronics, and entertainment. You can view your Greenbacks discounts by logging in to the Money app and swiping until you reach the Rewards tab.
To seek out the best deals
Getting more value for your money helps to keep you financially fit, especially when you’re buying daily necessities. Price comparison shopping apps can be a lifesaver, with so many stores to choose from in such competitive markets. Price Check offers a comprehensive list of reputable stores and the prices of their products. Google’s shopping tab also lets you filter stores and sort by pricing.
Avo SuperShop is our all-in-one shopping platform for everything from electronics and home furnishings to solar installations and water tanks. You can shop at multiple online stores and have the whole order sent in 1 delivery – so you save on petrol and delivery costs, even before you take advantage of the promotions that Avo offers regularly. Special Avo daily deals available only to Greenbacks members can save you even more.
You can also use apps and websites like FOMO to find deals on activities and dining in your area - along with exclusive discounted vouchers.
Don’t fall victim to misinformation and fake news
Getting your financial management into excellent shape is easier when you have the right tools at your disposal, and a team on your side that sweats the small stuff. Instead of falling for flashy schemes, it’s best to opt for reputable apps or platforms that help you grow your wealth and #GetMoneyFit to reach your savings goals.
