How To Track And Manage Credit Cards

MoneyCoach can track credit cards as a dedicated account type. Credit card accounts keep purchases, payments, billing cycles, due amounts, and reminders together so you can see what you owe and avoid missing payment dates.

Credit Card, Savings, and Loan account types are Premium account types.

After saving the card, add purchases to it the same way you add expenses to any other account. When you open the credit card account, MoneyCoach shows a dedicated Details screen.

The top section shows the current billing cycle, the card balance, the limit, and available balance. Tapping the card opens the purchases for the current billing cycle.

Additional information

The Last Billing Cycle section shows the previous statement, the amount due, how much has been paid, what is still remaining, and the payment due date. Tapping the payment button opens a transfer flow so you can record the real payment from your checking account to the credit card account.

The Billing Cycles · Expenses section lists statement periods and the expense total for each cycle.

The buttons in the details screen let you open View purchases, View payments, or View all transactions for the card.

By keeping purchases and payments on the credit card account and setting reminders, you can track the balance and avoid missing repayment dates.
