We’re here to help you fund your best life. Effortlessly.
What if managing money wasn’t so hard?
Hi, we’re team Qapital. We’re on a mission to make money management not just easier, but a natural part of your daily life.
Our journey began with two simple questions: why is managing money so challenging for people and how can we help? Studying behavioral economics taught us that humans are simply not wired to process tradeoffs between spending now and saving for later. So our efforts commonly lead to frustration, stress, and altogether avoidance.
Once we understood the problem, we put together a team of product experts and finance pros to build a solution. The result is the Qapital app; a suite of set-and-forget money tools that make financial decision-making easier on the brain. At a time when nearly half of Americans don’t have even $1,000 on hand for emergencies,* Qapital has helped members save over $3,000,000,000 collectively.

We’re changing the conversation about personal finance
Qapital has been making headlines since emerging on the scene in 2013.

“A secret savings weapon — an app that does the work for [you].”
Qapital is for “anybody looking to make savings easier.”
“I don’t check the Qapital app often, so I hope to forget about my breakup fund until a post-breakup splurge reminds me that there is a piggy bank to be smashed.”
