How Dobin can help you improve your financial visibility across your bank accounts and credit cards

Are you financially healthy?

It’s a tricky question. If you live like a multimillionaire with a wallet full of credit cards and a statement full of loan repayment transactions, are you financially healthy? What about if you save fastidiously, but don’t earn a huge amount to begin with?

The reality is, financial health means a lot more than having a healthy savings account balance. What a healthy financial situation looks like is different for everyone, and the path to financial freedom is paved with debt and difficult financial decisions.

But one thing is certain: you can’t be financially healthy without having full visibility of your finances in the first place.

So, in this blog we break down what financial visibility actually is, how visibility leads to health and how you can use Dobin to optimise your financial visibility right now.

What is Financial Visibility?

First, let’s get it clear exactly what we’re talking about.

Financial visibility isn’t just about checking your bank statements every so often. Full visibility of your finances refers to your ability to understand and track your complete financial situation and activities, including your income, expenses, debts, and investments. It also involves looking into the future, setting financial goals and tracking your progress towards them.

Without financial visibility, it’s easy to lose track of your finances. It’s hard to see where your money is going, recognise spending patterns and track whether you’re making the right choices.

The Secret to Unlocking Financial Health

Financial health, on the other hand, is the state of your overall financial well-being, which we can determine by various factors such as income, expenses, savings, debt, and investments.

Financial visibility is essential for achieving and maintaining financial health because it allows you to have a clear and accurate picture of your financial situation. When you have visibility into your finances, you can identify areas where you may be overspending, find ways to reduce expenses, and make informed decisions about investments and debt management.

In other words, without financial visibility, it’s easy to drift away from financial health.

The Importance of Financial Data

So far so good, but having this financial visibility in today’s world can be difficult.

If you’re like the average Singaporean, the chances are you have multiple credit cards, e-wallets, and bank accounts to keep track of. Managing all those figures can sometimes feel like another full-time job!

But trying to manage all this yourself isn’t the only way. By taking advantage of open finance, you can bring all your financial data together in one place, giving you a clear view of your transaction profile and credit profile.

With this data, you can understand your spending patterns, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions when it comes to the future of your finances.
