A budget app without bank sync, built for every currency you hold

Never connect a bank. Type transactions or import CSV/XLSX. Keep each rate. Basic is free.

Why skip bank sync

Bank sync is sold as convenience. For a lot of people it is the part that breaks. We built Rasa Money without it on purpose: no bank sync is the design, not a missing feature.

01

Your bank login never leaves you

No "link account" step, no third-party aggregator, and no vault of bank passwords. You create each account; every balance is calculated from the records you add.

02

Nothing to break when you move country or bank

An open-banking connection works until you change bank, change country, or the aggregator drops the bank you actually use. A ledger you fill yourself works the same in every country.

Rasa Money never connects to your bank, and it never asks for a bank login. There is no "link account" step, no third-party aggregator in the middle, and no vault of bank passwords for anyone to protect, leak, or hand over. You create each account yourself, and every balance is calculated from the records you add. Read why we never ask for a bank login.

Design choice

The honest trade-off

We will not auto-pull last night's card spend. You add it, or you import the statement later. If a live bank feed is a requirement for you, an app with bank sync is the better fit, and our comparison with bank-sync apps says so plainly. If you would rather keep the bank relationship to yourself and have a ledger you can explain line by line, read on.

Add transactions in seconds, or import CSV/XLSX

Manual entry and recurring payments with an approval inbox

Income, expense, and transfer, each with a category, notes, commissions, and a reference. Refunds link back to the original. Recurring series on Pro wait in the Cartable until you confirm.

The import wizard: columns, dates, and debit/credit detected (Pro)

Months of history do not have to be typed. Columns, dates, and debit/credit are detected — every row is reviewed before anything saves.

Switching from Lunch Money: free guided import

Free guided import on every plan, within the plan's limits (tags are skipped on Basic). Drop the export, map accounts, and review each transaction.

Income, expense, and transfer, each with a category, notes, commissions, and a reference. Refunds link back to the original transaction instead of being logged twice. Categories have two levels: groups and subcategories.

Rent, salary, and subscriptions can run as recurring transactions on Pro: set the schedule once, pause it or schedule it ahead, and Rasa Money suggests series from transactions that repeat. Generated payments wait in the Cartable, one inbox for everything waiting on a decision, until you confirm them. Nothing counts until you say it happened.

Months of history do not have to be typed. On Pro, you can import bank statements from CSV or XLSX from any bank:

Coming from Lunch Money? The free guided Lunch Money import works on every plan, including Basic, within the plan's limits (tags are skipped on Basic). Export your transactions file, plus the optional Net Worth file, drop them in, decide what happens to each account and category, and review every transaction before it is imported.

Every currency, with the rate kept per transaction

Rasa Money works perfectly well if every account you own is in one currency. The day a second currency shows up, it goes further than most finance apps:

Multi-currency needs Pro; Basic supports one currency. See how to budget in multiple currencies.

Budgets, debts, and recurring payments without a bank feed

One budget limit, spend in any currency

Set a budget in the currency you plan in and scope it to the accounts, categories, or tags you choose. Spending in other currencies converts at each transaction's own stored rate, so the spent figure does not drift when rates move. You get an alert at 80% of the limit, and again past 100%.

Debts with installment schedules in their own currency

Loans, installment plans, card plans, and personal debts, each in the debt's own currency, with schedules, reminders, and progress. A loan back home stays in the currency you borrowed in, and you still see what each payment costs in the currency you earn. Open the debt and installment tracker.

In the UK? GBP plus 165 more fiat currencies, no open banking needed

Rasa Money does not use open banking at all, so it does not matter which UK bank or building society you use, or whether it is covered by an aggregator. Open a GBP account, type your spending or import the CSV your bank already gives you, and budget in pounds. If you also hold euros, dollars, or anything else, that is one more account, in its own currency, out of 166 fiat currencies and 380 cryptocurrencies.

Clear boundaries

What we don't do

No bank sync

We never connect to your bank and never ask for banking credentials. You enter transactions or import a CSV/XLSX you already downloaded.

Not a bank

Rasa Money is a personal finance tracking and management tool. We do not hold, transfer, or invest your money. Rasa Money is not a bank, broker, or financial advisor.

Nothing writes without you

Rasa AI can answer, summarise, and draft new records — but every create shows a confirmation card first. Cancel leaves nothing behind.

FAQ

Is there a budget app that doesn't need my bank login?

Yes. Rasa Money never connects to your bank and never asks for a bank login. You create your accounts, then type transactions or import a CSV/XLSX file you downloaded from your bank. Balances are calculated from those records.

What if my bank isn't supported by Plaid or open banking?

It doesn't matter. Rasa Money has no bank connections, so every bank works the same way: you enter transactions or import the bank's statement file (CSV/XLSX import is on Pro).

Is manual entry worth it? How long does it take?

A transaction is one short form: amount, account, category, date. Recurring payments (Pro) generate themselves and wait in the Cartable for you to confirm. A few minutes of entry a week is also the moment you actually look at where the money went.

How do I get months of history in without a bank connection?

Import it. On Pro, the CSV/XLSX import wizard reads statements from any bank, detects the columns and the date format, and lets you review every row before saving. If you're coming from Lunch Money, the guided import is free on every plan.

Is it safe? What does Rasa Money store?

We store the records you create or import (accounts, transactions, budgets, categories, debts, and the exchange rate kept with each transaction) and the details needed to sign you in. We never store bank logins because we never ask for them. Export, reset, and account deletion require your password again. Details are on our security page.

Does it work with several currencies, or banks in several countries?

Yes, on Pro. Each account keeps its own currency, from 166 fiat currencies and 380 cryptocurrencies, and every transaction permanently keeps the exchange rate it was recorded with. Basic supports one currency.

Is Rasa Money a bank? Does it hold my money?

No. Rasa Money is a personal finance tracking and management tool. We do not hold, transfer, or invest your money, and we are not a bank, broker, or financial advisor.

What does it cost?

Basic is free forever, with its limits, and needs no card. Pro is $9.99/month or $83.99/year. Your first Pro subscription starts with a 7-day free trial (card needed; nothing is charged until it ends).
