PennyGuard integrations
PennyGuard connects to your bank, cards and email to find what you pay for. Here is what each connection does and how to turn it off.
Overview
You can connect a bank or card through Plaid, an email inbox, or both. PennyGuard uses these connections to find your subscriptions and recurring bills, show what you spend each month and prepare the next step for you to confirm.
Connections
Banks and credit cards
Plaid connects your bank or card with read-only access. PennyGuard sees your transactions and never sees your bank login.
Gmail and Outlook
Connect an inbox so PennyGuard can find subscriptions, renewals and receipts that are easy to miss on a statement.
More than one account
Add another bank, card or inbox at any time, so charges from a second account are not missed.
Details
PennyGuard uses connected data only to keep your list of subscriptions and bills up to date.
Transactions
Amounts, dates and merchant names help PennyGuard spot recurring charges and price changes.
Emails
PennyGuard looks only for subscription, bill and charge details. It does not store the full content of your emails.
Cancellation emails
If you ask PennyGuard to cancel a subscription, the request can be sent from your connected inbox. Nothing is sent without your request.
Your list
You confirm which subscriptions are yours, so PennyGuard only tracks what matters to you.
App stores
Some subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google.
App Store
Subscriptions billed through Apple are cancelled in your iPhone or iPad settings. PennyGuard shows you the steps.
Google Play
Subscriptions billed through Google Play are cancelled in the Play Store. PennyGuard shows you the steps.
Paying for PennyGuard
Pay for your membership with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
You see the price and billing period of your membership before any charge.
