Three Ways to Make Budget Assistant Work for You

1. Use alerts as a tool to lower your bill

If you want to lower your bill by 10%, set your spending goals 10% lower than your average bill and select weekly updates. We’ll send you alerts to let you know how you’re performing against your spending goal so you have time to make adjustments to stay within your budget

2. Receive high bill alert warnings

Budget Assistant will warn you if you’re trending toward a higher than normal bill. Let’s say you’re okay with your average bill, but you don’t want it to go any higher. For example, if your average bill is $40, set your spending goal at $45.

Then select to be notified “only if I’m over my spending goal.” You’ll receive an alert when we forecast that your next bill is expected to go over that amount.

3. Track your projected bill amount

Interested in just getting an update midway through your bill cycle on what your bill is projected to be at the end of the month? Then select to receive your alerts Mid-month. You’ll receive an alert halfway through your billing cycle giving you an update on how much your bill is projected to be at the end of your billing period.
