Payments and planned purchases

Bills and subscriptions, saving up for big things, and checking if you can afford it.

  • Add a recurring paymentAdd anything you pay again and again, like rent, DStv, Netflix, data or school fees.
  • Change the price or day of a paymentA new price applies from this month or a later one. Months already paid keep their amount.
  • "Due tomorrow" remindersThe day before a recurring payment is due, Backdur reminds you so you can make sure the money is there.
  • Save up with a planned purchasePut money aside each month for something you'll buy, like a phone, a car or yearly rent.
  • What Ready, On track and Tight meanEach planned purchase shows a status: Ready, Affordable now, On track or Tight.
  • Mark a planned purchase as boughtTap Paid it and say what you paid and when. The money you put aside pays first.
  • Can I afford it?Pick an amount and a date, and Backdur checks whether your balance stays above your floor.
