Skwad vs. Monarch Money
Security or convenience? You can have both with Skwad.
Keep your passwords private
The FDIC & CDIC do not protect you against bank fraud. Your bank may not protect you when you willingly share your password with third party apps.
No more syncing issues
APIs break all the time, but not Skwad. Skwad syncs your transactions without any reliance on third-party aggregators or structured data.
