The Wilbur budgeting app, developed by Square Knot Analytics Inc., is designed to provide users with a comprehensive view of their financial health. Wilbur is an excellent tool for the aging population as they aim to manage their finances to save up for larger goals, such as paying for their kids’ schooling, paying for retirement, or paying off a home. It achieves this by summarizing financial information from linked bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and investments. The app’s primary goal is to help users take control of their finances through features that automatically track income and expenses, thereby facilitating the creation of a personalized budget. Wilbur stands out as a 100% free budgeting tool, with no advertising or paid options, ensuring that every user has access to all of its features.
In addition to budgeting, Wilbur offers unique opportunities for users to earn money and rewards by sharing their opinions through surveys. This feature not only provides financial incentives but also allows users to influence the development of products and services they use. The app emphasizes data security, employing bank-grade encryption technology and firewalls to protect user data. It assures that personal information is never used for marketing purposes and is securely housed within Canada on Amazon Web Services.
