Money Tech

In every walk of life technology is simply a reality. Clearly in Financial planning and wealth management they have a huge part to play but we came across this interesting set of tools to help you keep track of your money on a more day to day basis. Did you know about these 5 apps?

Quidco is a great app that’ll see you get paid just for checking in to certain shops! Discover cashback offers, voucher codes and meal deals for free.

RedLaser allows you to compare prices by scanning products, so you can check that you’re getting the best deal while you’re shopping. It’s free and has been downloaded by 19 million shoppers.

MyGas allows you to search for the closest and cheapest petrol station to you. Fuel prices can differ greatly, so this free app will save you from paying over the odds when you fill up.

Fuel School can save you up to 10% on your fuel bill by using GPS to analyse your driving style and calculate your fuel efficiency. It then provides tips on how to drive more economically, saving you money on every tank. Fuel School costs 69p.

0870 costs just 69p and will save you a fortune on those annoying premium-rate numbers. You simply type in the number you need to call and the app will produce a list of local-rate numbers for the same company.

While you look after the pennies Enables IFA’s in Bishop’s Stortford can help you look after the pounds.

Despite his enthusiasm for technology and his belief it will fill the advice gap, Matthew feels it will never replace face-to-face advice. He says: “Technology is just a tool. There are all the things it can arguably do to make our job better – but it can’t pick up on the nuances of what people say to you and get behind what’s been said.” Enables IFA’s would agree.
