My family's cash makes substantial returns each month, my kids allowance is automated, my budget is dynamically allocated from my paychecks.
This is the best app for family finances AND there is a negative switching cost... no brainer!
Love this! Finally something built for families. How do timing and approvals work on wire transfers?

@tannerhp wire transfers sent before 4 PM ETA usually arrive same day! Thanks sir :)

This is great! I still miss the experience from Simple. Do you have any recommendations on when and how to start using Crew with kids? My daughter is still young enough that money makes a lot more sense to her when we give her physical currency, but it would definitely be easier for me if we could just use electronic transfers instead, and it would be nice to let her earn interest too. When would you recommend transitioning a child to a bank account?

@dnsbty great question, cash is easiest to visualize and it makes a ton of sense to start there. It's also critical to make the digital currency feel reel sooner than later, since that's the world they'll live in. I like a hybrid approach in the early years, where there's cash but you deposit it for safekeeping. And then transition to primarily digital over time.

Pretty cool idea. So is it like the old school "envelope" budget tactic?

@rhett_weller yeah the idea is that pockets + automation allows people to go as intense or light as they want for budgeting. Full envelope zero based budgeting, or just individual discretionary accounts.

Awesome update! Which part of the Crew update are you personally most excited about?

@trentmano I'm really excited about the flexibility that comes from connecting spending pockets and automation. We can support a huge range of spending modes and budgeting methodology. Excited to make this easier for folks. :)

This is really cool. Does link to other banks? For example, I want to track my IRAs to get a full picture of finances. Other credit cards to track individual purchases?
Would switch from Monarch immediately if so.
If not, is that how you see the future, or are you opinionated on the closed ecosystem approach so you get that "it just works" effect from the beginning?

@brice_douglas great question. There are tons of great PFM options out there (origin, monarch, copilot etc). Not sure the world needs more of that.
We're eager to replace and consolidate your full finance stack. Hope to launch a charge card that lets you spend directly from your budget and brokerage accounts to automate your finances all the way through!

As a Financial Professional, I am always looking for things to help clients achieve goals. I love educating clients about Crew and how it may be able to help them achieve cash flow goals. Thanks for making an enjoyable product. *not advice
