Apps to save your pennies.

Don’t you hate rejection? What’s worse is when it comes from your bank. Tighter lending conditions have made it harder for borrowers to secure loans; with many not meeting loan criteria. We know the frustration that comes from meeting with your bank, only to be told that you just aren’t financially ready.

Here’s what you can do today that will set you up to be the perfect match for lenders in the future.

Save your pennies.

We all know that nothing worth having comes easy, so you may have to forgo the avo toast for a few months. Savings are not only essential for a deposit, but also show that you are capable of making repayments. Tracking your money and knowing where you can cut unnecessary spending is key to saving and getting in a better financial position.

Ditch the excel spreadsheet, there’s an app for that.
