NerdWallet has engaged Atomic Invest LLC (“Atomic”), an SEC-registered investment adviser, to bring you the opportunity to open an investment advisory account with Atomic. NerdWallet receives compensation of 0% to 0.85% of assets under management annualized, payable monthly, for each referred client who opens an Atomic account and a percentage of free cash interest earned by clients, which creates a conflict of interest.

Brokerage services for Atomic are provided by Atomic Brokerage LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC and an affiliate of Atomic, which creates a conflict of interest. For more details about Atomic, please go to https://www.atomicvest.com/atomicinvest. For more details about Atomic Brokerage, please go to https://www.atomicvest.com/atomicbrokerage. You can check the background of Atomic Brokerage on FINRA’s BrokerCheck at https://brokercheck.finra.org/.

Neither Atomic Invest nor Atomic Brokerage, nor any of their affiliates is a bank. Investments in securities: Not FDIC Insured, Not Bank Guaranteed, May Lose Value. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Before investing, consider your investment objectives and the fees and expenses charged.

Personal Loans Interest Rates and Fees: You can view personal loan offers on NerdWallet's loans marketplace. These are from third party advertisers from which NerdWallet may receive compensation. NerdWallet displays personal loans with rates that range from 4.60% to 35.99% APR with terms from 1 to 7 years. Rates are controlled by third party advertisers and are subject to change without notice. Depending on the lender, other fees may apply (such as origination fees or late payment fees). You can view any particular offer's terms and conditions for more information within the marketplace. All loan offers on NerdWallet require application and approval by the lender. You may not qualify for a personal loan at all or may not qualify for the lowest rate or highest offer displayed.

Representative Repayment Example: A borrower receives a personal loan of $10,000 with a term of 36 months and an APR of 17.59% (which includes a 13.94% yearly interest rate and a 5% one-time origination fee). They would receive $9,500 in their account and would have a required monthly payment of $341.48. Over the lifetime of their loan, their payments would total $12,293.46.

They improved it over the last few updates to let you see what you need. maybe not as easy to use as it was before, but it got better to where I want it to be to track transactions. There are some account sync issues, mainly PayPal, that is more an issue with Plaid. But it requires you to unlink and relink your account occasionally. But doing so removes those translations from your history and looks like you had a sudden influx of debt or pay, which sucks to do every few months to resync.

Hi Jack - thanks for the review! We took your feedback to heart and released an update to address those issues. Please update to 13.1.1 when you have a chance. We've tried to make it easier to find and use the key features. Some links will open in a browser, such as login, and you will need to allow cookies so we can tell it's you, though!

They listened. This last update has completely changed my opinion on this app. The important numbers you want to see are now on the home page, you don't have to dig for them anymore. The basic UI works smoother now and load times are much quicker. Features that got taken from the free version and added to the + tier are now available again. Thank you to the developers who listened to feedback.

I moved here because mint was discontinued. I can't even begin to describe how much worse this app is than mint was. This doesn't track different banking accounts as well, the categories are less convenient, the flow is less intuitive. Not to mention, the app bombards you with ways to give your data and information to their partners and it's very annoying.
