Features

Everything you'd nag yourself to do, done quietly in the background.

Pennygrove watches the boring stuff so you don't have to. You just get gentle nudges and a balance you can actually trust.

Safe-to-spend

One honest number, every morning.

We subtract your upcoming bills, goals and recurring charges from your balance, then tell you what's genuinely free to spend. No mental math, no end-of-month dread.

Round-ups

Spare change adds up fast.

Every card swipe rounds up to the next dollar and the difference slides into a savings jar. Most members save $61 a month without noticing.

Auto-save

Pay yourself first, on autopilot.

Pennygrove reads your pay rhythm and quietly moves a set amount into savings every payday — and pauses itself the moment your balance dips low.

every payday $40.00 → jar
Bill shield

Never overdraft again.

We forecast every recurring charge and warn you days before a bill could tip you negative.

Goals

Save for the trip, not the void.

Name a goal, set a date, and Pennygrove works out a pace that fits your budget — then quietly keeps it.

Insights

Kind, not preachy.

Weekly notes in plain English: "Coffee's up $14 — want to set a $40 cap?" You decide; we never judge.

People who used to dread opening their banking app.

"I'd checked my balance every day and still got hit with overdraft fees. Six months on Pennygrove: zero fees, and $740 in a jar I didn't know I had. It's the first money app that doesn't make me anxious."

"The round-ups are sneaky in the best way. I funded a whole long weekend in Lisbon on spare change I'd have spent on nothing. My partner signed up the same week."

"My teenager has her own card and a chores list, and I stopped being the family ATM. The 'safe to spend' number ended a decade of me guessing how much was really mine."

Questions

The things you'd want to know before linking a bank.

Still unsure? Our support humans (real ones) reply in the app within a few hours, seven days a week.

Is my money actually safe — and is Pennygrove a bank? +

Pennygrove is a financial technology company, not a bank. Your deposits are held with our partner Halcyon Bank, N.A. (Member FDIC) and insured up to $250,000. We connect to your accounts read-only through bank-grade encryption, and we never sell your transaction data.

How does the "safe to spend" number get calculated? +

We forecast every upcoming bill and recurring charge in your cycle, reserve what you've committed to goals, then subtract both from your available balance. It updates the moment a transaction clears, so the number is always today's truth — not last month's statement.

What happens to auto-save if my balance gets low? +

It pauses itself. Pennygrove watches your forecast and skips any transfer that would leave you short of your bills or push you toward an overdraft. It resumes automatically on your next payday — you'll get a heads-up either way.

Can I move money out of my jar whenever I want? +

Always. There's no lock-up period and no withdrawal fee. Transfers back to your linked checking arrive same-day on bank business days, usually within a couple of hours. Your savings are yours, not held hostage by a tier.

Does signing up affect my credit score? +

No. Opening a Pennygrove account is a soft check that's invisible to lenders and never affects your score. We don't offer credit products, so there's nothing to run a hard pull against — you can open an account in about two minutes.

Your future self already thanked you.

Open a free account in two minutes, link a bank, and watch the first round-up land before your coffee's cold. No fees, no minimums, cancel anytime.
