Best banking apps to boost your money

More of us are using apps designed to help with budgeting, expense tracking, and financial goal setting. And with good reason. UK consumers who use digital financial management tools are an average £37.08 better off per month compared to those not using one, according to research by Tink (an open-banking platform).

Half of consumers surveyed would like their banking app to help them track spending on regular payments and subscriptions, and 37% would like their bank to give them better visibility over their finances.

So, if you're looking for easy ways to save and help your money grow, start by checking if your bank's own app is offering exactly what you need.

DOES YOUR BANKING APP HAVE THESE FEATURES?

Savings pots Like a digital piggy bank, these separate funds from your main account balance - some banks even let you hide or lock them to prevent spending.
