A personal finance manager (PFM) software, also known as a personal finance management tool or application, is a software program designed to help individuals manage their financial activities and make informed decisions about their money. It typically provides various features and functionalities to track income, expenses, budgets, investments, and overall financial health.
MMCCU’s new online banking system provides members access to a PFM.
Here are some features found in the personal finance manager software:
- Expense Tracking: These tools allow you to record and categorize your expenses automatically or manually, helping you understand where your money is being spent.
- Budgeting: You can set up budgets for different categories or spending areas and track your progress in real-time. The software can provide alerts and notifications when you exceed your budget limits.
- Account Aggregation: Personal finance manager software often allows you to link your bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts to consolidate all your financial information in one place. This feature automates the process of fetching and categorizing transactions.
- Bill Management: You can track and manage your bills, set reminders for due dates, and receive notifications to avoid missing payments or incurring late fees.
- Goal Setting: These tools enable you to set financial goals, such as saving for a vacation, buying a house, or paying off debts. They provide visual representations of your progress and suggest strategies to achieve your goals.
- Investment Tracking: If you have investment accounts, personal finance manager software can help you track your portfolio performance, view market data, and analyze investment strategies.
- Reporting and Analysis: These tools generate various reports and charts to give you a comprehensive view of your financial situation. You can analyze spending patterns, income sources, savings rate, net worth, and other key financial metrics.
- Mobile Apps and Synchronization: Many personal finance manager softwares (like MMCCU’s) offer mobile apps that allow you to access and manage your financial data on the go. They often sync data across multiple devices, ensuring your information is up to date.
Personal Finance Manager tools aim to simplify financial management, improve financial literacy, and empower individuals to make informed financial decisions. Members enrolled in online banking can access the new PFM starting July 18.
