How to set up your goals ?

Each goal represent the financial configuration you have chosen to achieve your objectives: Amount, period, Spare change, monthly contributions, share of income allocated to expenses. Inside each goals you have the possibility to adjust your preferences and to achieve your objectives at your own pace. For this you need to adjust:

  • Amount corresponding to the product or service you would like to buy, or the amount you wish to save aside , or the retirement allowance you expect to earn once retired.
  • Period: in case you wish to buy something and treat yourself, or if you would like to set a medium term goal (Safety net or for family purpose) the period means the time you are willing save you spare change to achieve your objectives. In relation to retirement plan, period refers to the age you expect to have when retiring.
  • Monthly contributions: this is the monthly fixed amount that you wish to add up to your round ups in order to achieve your goal faster (the more you contribute monthly, the faster you will complete your objectives).
  • Round-up: this option enables you to select up to which level you would like to round up: to the nearest euro (1), nearest two euro (2), nearest five euro or to the nearest ten euro. For instance, when rounding up your spare change to the nearest 2 euro, if you spend 1,25€ you would add 1,75€ to you round-ups list. When rounding-up to nearest 5€ if you spend 1,25€ you would save 4,75€. When rounding-up to the nearest 10€ if you pay 1,25 then you would save 8,75€.

Within every goals view, we are sharing a simulation table with the data you have selected and with round-ups based on the average monthly round-ups of our portfolio. We then summarize in one sentence your goal configuration before to confirm the said objective.

How many goals are there ?

We have 4 financial objectives:

  • My next whim: It’s a short-term goal (less than 12 months). You can adjust to where you want to round (the nearest euro, 2 euros …), a monthly amount, the amount and number of months you want to get it. When you reach the target you can withdraw the amount to spend it in whatever you want.
  • Safety net: It is advisable to have 6 months of salary accumulated in savings for possible contingencies that affect your financial situation. The configuration is similar to the previous one. You just have to determine the amount and the way you want to save.
  • Family goal: We all need to save for future goals but often have a high amount. The configuration is similar to the previous two points. You just have to determine the amount and the way you want to save.
  • Save for your retirement: In this objective, we save you to plan your retirement. From the questions we ask you at the start of the application we determine how much you would need to supplement your social security pension approximately. That amount can be covered through your rounding and a fixed monthly amount.

Can i add a bank or card to an existing goal ?

What's the diference between adding a card or a bank account ?

We want to give you the opportunity to choose your pace. Thus, we want to give you the possibility to synchronize a card to your objective, in order to round-up all expenses paid with said card. If you prefer, you can instead synchronize your bank account so that we will round up all expenses registered on your bank statements. Therefore, in order to achieve a goal as soon as possible, it is recommended to synchronize your bank account rather than a single card. And of course, the more you synchronize bank accounts to one goal, the more you will save.
