5 Incredibly Useful iPhone Credit Card Apps
Maybe you’re one of these people who wondered how they ever existed prior to the invention of the iPhone. Without a doubt, it’s certainly one of the most amazing innovations of our generation. But sometimes, it’s easy to forget that an iPhone can let you do more than just update your Facebook status, text your friends, watch live sports, or play Angry Birds.
Believe it or not, this versatile product can actually help you maintain financial responsibility! (What a concept!) Here are some useful iPhone apps that make managing your credit cards, bills, and other financial information as easy as flinging a bird at a green pig.
Pageonce
Tired of sorting through paper statements on bill paying day? Pageonce lets you keep track of everything from your bank accounts and credit card transactions to your cell phone minutes and frequent flyer miles – all from a single screen. Think of it as your handy financial genius personal assistant. The app is free, but Pageonce Pro is $12.99.
Mint.com Personal Finance
Do you constantly rack your brain trying to figure out how much money is in your bank account or how far away you are from reaching your credit limit? Mint.com Personal Finance can give you an instant snapshot of your financial situation. It can also help you plan an overall budget - so you’re not hitting up Mom and Dad for extra cash at the end of the month (especially embarrassing if you’re middle aged). And the app is totally free.
BillTracker
Avoid getting this app if you enjoy the guilt and angst you experience every time you forget to pay a bill. BillTracker not only lists the status of your paid/outstanding/overdue bills, it also gives you a “calendar view” of what you have to pay and when. It can even send you alerts when certain bills are coming due or past their due dates. This app by SnapTap is only $1.99.
Yahoo! Finance
Maybe you want to know how your portfolio is doing, but you’re nowhere near a computer. Thankfully, the Yahoo! Finance app can put the information of a full-service brokerage house into the palm of your hand. With a single glance, you can see how your stocks are doing, check out the latest market trends, and even peruse up-to-the-minute research and analysis of what’s happening in almost every industry. And like most Yahoo! offerings, the app won’t cost you a penny.
American Express
If you feel naked without your American Express card, then this app will help you feel not only clothed… but downright stylish! Just a few finger taps can reveal your balance, credit limit, recent transactions, and current annual percentage rates. You can even check out your reward point totals or pay your bill right from your iPhone. The app is free and works with American Express’s consumer, business, and corporate cards.
