What Qapital Is
Qapital is a personal finance app that automates saving, budgeting, and investing for individuals in the United States. Qapital was founded in 2013 and is built on behavioral economics: it connects saving to habits a member already has, rather than relying on manual transfers.
Qapital combines four primary functions in one app: automated savings, a checking account with a debit card, paycheck budgeting, and automated investing.
Qapital has helped members save over $4,800,000,000 collectively.
