About Knoware

What is Knoware?

Knoware is a personal finance platform designed to help you understand your whole financial picture and know what to do with it. It brings together your accounts, assets, debts, investments, spending and budgets, then looks across everything to find opportunities, spot risks and show you what deserves your attention.

How is Knoware different from budgeting apps?

Budgeting apps are mainly designed to help you track spending and stay within a plan. Knoware includes budgeting, but goes further by helping you understand what your finances mean, what you may be missing and what actions could improve your financial future.

Who is Knoware for?

Knoware is for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of their finances and more confidence about what to do next. It becomes especially useful when your financial life includes multiple accounts, investments, debt, assets or decisions that are harder to answer with a simple budget.

What is Financial Navigation?

Financial Navigation helps you look forward instead of only tracking what already happened. It lets you model decisions, test different scenarios and see how choices you make today could affect your finances over time.

Pricing

Is Knoware free?

Yes. The core Knoware experience is free to use. You can track and understand your finances without a trial, countdown or stripped-down demo.

How does Knoware make money?

Knoware offers optional paid capabilities, such as Financial Navigation, for people who want deeper scenario modelling and decision support. We make money by building products you choose to pay for, not by selling access to your financial life.

Do I have to pay to understand my finances?

No. We believe understanding your own money should not require a subscription. Paid capabilities are designed to add new functionality, not to lock basic understanding behind a paywall.

Connecting your finances

Do I have to connect my bank to use Knoware?

No. You can connect supported financial institutions automatically or add accounts manually. Knoware is designed to remain useful even if you prefer not to connect your bank.

Can I add accounts manually?

Yes. You can add accounts and other financial holdings manually, and you can import transaction data rather than connecting directly to a financial institution.

Can Knoware track more than bank accounts?

Yes. Knoware is designed to represent your broader financial life, including cash, investments, real estate, vehicles, debts and other assets and liabilities.

Does Knoware support multiple currencies?

Yes. Knoware can track accounts and assets held in different currencies and account for currency differences when calculating your overall financial picture.

Privacy and security

Does Knoware store my bank password?

No. Knoware does not store your online banking credentials. Bank connections are handled through trusted, industry-leading financial connectivity providers.

Can Knoware move my money?

No. Knoware uses read-only financial connections. It cannot transfer money, make payments or move funds between your accounts.

Does Knoware sell my financial data?

No. We do not sell your personal financial data or build an advertising business around your finances. Your data is used to provide Knoware to you.

Can Knoware employees see my financial information?

Knoware is designed so our team cannot simply browse through your finances. Access is limited, controlled and used only where necessary to operate and support the service.

What Knoware can do

Can Knoware help me find financial opportunities?

Yes. Knoware looks across your finances for things you may be able to improve, such as idle cash, expensive debt, unnecessary fees or other areas where your money could be working harder.

Can Knoware spot financial risks?

Yes. Knoware looks for risks that may be difficult to see account by account, such as investment concentration, cash-flow pressure, rising debt costs or other vulnerabilities across your financial picture.

Can Knoware help me decide whether to pay down debt or invest?

Knoware can help you understand the tradeoffs between different financial choices and, with Financial Navigation, model how those decisions could affect your future under different assumptions.

Is Knoware a financial advisor?

No. Knoware is a financial software platform designed to help you understand information, explore possibilities and make more informed decisions. It does not replace personalized advice from a qualified financial, tax or legal professional when you need it.
