「この支払い、いつだっけ?」 クレジットカードを使うと、後日銀行口座から引き落とされます。 さらに、その銀行口座に別のカードの支払いがあったり、別の口座から別の支払いがあったり。 支払いが増えるほど、「何を使うと、いつ、どこから支払われるのか」が分かりにくくなります。 PaymentFlowは、そんな**支払いの流れを整理しておくためのアプリ**です。 クレジットカードや銀行口座などを登録して、支払いが発生する日や、どこから支払うのかを記録しておけます。 ■ こんなときに ・クレジットカードを複数使っている ・カードによって支払日が違う ・複数の銀行口座を使っている ・「このカードはどの口座から引き落とされる?」となる ・毎月の支払いを整理しておきたい ・支払いの流れを把握しておきたい ■ PaymentFlow 支払いの金額を細かく記録する家計簿ではありません。 「何を使う」 ↓ 「いつ支払う」 ↓ 「どこから支払う」 そんな**お金の支払いの流れを整理する**ためのシンプルなアプリです。 毎月の支払いを、もっと分かりやすく。 PaymentFlowで支払いの流れを管理しましょう。
