Set up Backdur for the first time

When you first open Backdur, it asks a few simple questions, one per screen. Each answer is saved as you go, so you arrive with your month already set up. You can skip most of them and come back later.

The steps

1. Welcome.
2. Your name. Your first name is needed. Your last name is optional.
3. Your country. This picks your currency. Your time zone comes from your phone.
4. Your income. Say if it's monthly or not, then add each income's name, amount and payday. You can add more than one.
5. Your monthly payments. Tap the common ones (rent, electricity, internet, data, DStv, Netflix, Spotify, transport, gym, health insurance, family support, giving, loan repayment) or add your own. Give each an amount and a day. You can skip this.
6. Your balance floor. The least you want to keep in your account. Pick a preset amount, type your own, or choose none.
7. Your bank statement. Upload one to fill in your history, or skip. See Upload a bank statement.
8. Your balance today. This is where your forecast starts. You can skip this.
9. The banks and money apps you use. This helps us decide which banks to link first.
10. Reminders. Allow notifications so Backdur can remind you about bills.
11. You're all set. A summary of everything that was saved.
12. Plans. Choose a plan. See Plans and pricing.
