About this app

AI money coach you can actually talk to. Cleo helps 5+ million users budget, save, build credit, or get a cash advance in those low-balance moments.

AI MEETS MONEY

Cleo turns stressful money life into a simple chat, where you can ask questions and learn about your finances (without being bored to death).

Want to know how much you spent on takeout last month? Just ask Cleoā€¦ maybe this will be what finally gets you to stop overspending.

GET UP TO A $250 CASH ADVANC (1)

Dump your overpriced overdraft and get a spot from Cleo instead. Cleoā€™s up to $250 cash advance has:

- No interest (APR)
- No credit checks
- No late fees
- No direct deposit required

SAVE WITH 4.11% APY

Grow your wealth with high-yield savings almost nine times higher than the national average. Think of it as the good kind of interest that accumulates on your savings.

Choose from four mindless Save Hacks: Set & Forget, Roundups, Smart Save, or Swear Jarā€”where Cleo fines you for spending at your guilty pleasure stores and adds the cash to your savings.

CHALLENGE YOUR SPENDING HABITS

Fix your spending relationship with a custom made challenge. Cleo wonā€™t just tell you you need to cut back on eating out. She gets specific. She keeps your challenge on track by showing you money motivationā€¦ like you saved an extra $100 by not visiting Starbucks four times a week.

BUDGET WITHOUT FEELING RESTRICTED

Build a personalized budget (with room for iced coffee). Cleo uses Plaid to read your transaction history in a read-only mode. She can then show you all your accounts in one place, serve you spending breakdown, and share monthly bill trackers and reminders.

I'm new to app but I'm pleasantly surprised. It's, of course, easy to navigate but it has the unique aspect of Cleo , the chat interaction, being "truth hurts" which is very refreshing, leveling, and funny at the time. I think all can benefit by putting spending "under the microscope" even if you know where it all goes it has a different type power, I think, in writing or spoken by another. It's not just an advance app it's accountability with tools to make a change towards a better future.

Man. This app is great. She tells me how it is and when I'm over spending. And she keeps me at a low loan amount which keeps me from going into debt from shopping again. Lol. And the budget part is easy to understand and go along with. Try it. It's like a parent specifically created to teach you about money and savings and wants or needs. Just try it. Seriously. šŸ¤‘šŸ’øšŸ›ļøšŸ’³šŸ’°šŸ’²

24 hour Cool Off period IS A LIE! It's going on day 3 that I've not been able to receive an advance. I always prepay my advances back. You have NEVER had to debit my account to get the money back. I email CS and they tell me the cool off period is no longer 24 hours! It could be anywhere from 1 week to "a few weeks"?! Really? If your using this app for the advances, cancel now. They get your subscription fees but have changed how YOU can use their services.
