Albert uses your recurring charges to predict your upcoming bills and subscriptions. Tapping the Bills section displays a breakdown of the bills and subscriptions you already paid, plus those you owe that month.
To create a manual bill
- Tap the Budget tab > tap 🔍 in the top left corner.
- Tap the + icon in the top right corner and create a transaction.
You can designate existing transactions as bills by tapping the transaction and changing the transaction type to Bill. This transaction will now appear in your bills section.
For example, if you pay rent with Venmo, but also make other transactions with Venmo, you can change the category of your rent transaction to "Bills," without affecting other Venmo transactions.
You can also change the name of an existing transaction or split an existing transaction to mark it as a bill. This can be helpful, say, if you pay a roommate for rent, utilities and groceries in just one Venmo transaction.
Please note: though we do list your current bills, we don't have the option to cancel bills on your behalf. But, our partners at Billshark can negotiate any bills in your budget that are displayed with a "Lower bill" button. Their 70% success rate in lowering cable, cell phone and in-home service bills makes them a great choice for maximizing your savings and freeing up your cash flow every month.
