What is the Firstly App? A Tool for Making the Most of Your Money, in One Place


At FirstlySM, we know that family goals are a big part of how we define and celebrate our lives. And  Firstly  is the first budgeting app that thinks family first, making it easy to work together (whether as partners, or with another family member) in the app to manage expenses, communicate about money and set financial goals together — leading to less money stress and better financial outcomes.

Our unique set of tools help you see the big picture and build that big future, together. 



See all your accounts in one place

• With Firstly, you can see every bank account in one place and always have the big picture at your fingertips. You decide which accounts you want to include: checking and savings accounts, credit cards, investment accounts, mortgages and car loans, and more. 

• Share all your accounts with your partner or family member, or choose to keep some private to you.

• With all your essential accounts in one place, it's easy to track spending, pay bills and set and achieve big financial goals. With the Firstly app, you can build a solid financial foundation your family can depend on. 

• We work with the highest, bank-level security available, so your information is safe and protected.




Use Firstly on your phone and your computer
