Stop losing money between paydays

PayDay splits your pay across your accounts soon after it lands. Bills, savings and spending, sorted before you can touch it.

You get paid. You mean to save. The money disappears anyway.

I'll do it tomorrow

The transfer slides to the weekend, then next week, then never.

My pay changes every week

$900 one week, $1,400 the next. Fixed transfers can't keep up.

My money is spread across four banks

Rent in one, bills in another, savings somewhere else.

Nothing left at month's end

Drag and drop your money

Need to move $200? Drag it from one account to another and it is done. The fastest way to top up, rebalance, or rescue a tight week.

Works when your pay changes

Percentage splits adapt to what actually lands, whether it is $800 or $1,800 this week. A fixed auto-transfer cannot do that.

Same percentages, different income, proportional splits

Top up bills first

Set a target balance and PayDay tops the account back up to it, moving only the shortfall. Top-ups run before your other splits.

How split rules work

Five minutes to set up. Then forget about it.

You will spend more time deciding what to have for lunch.

Start splitting your pay
  1. STEP 01

    Link your bank

    Log in at your own bank through Akahu. It takes about a minute.

  2. STEP 02

    Set your split

    "25% to savings, $400 to bills, the rest stays put." You write it once.

Insights

Know what is left before payday.

The Insights tab reads your own transactions to show what is left to spend and the bills likely before your next pay. Payy, your assistant, is one tap away.

See how Left to spend works

Managing money should not be hard. PayDay makes it easy to split, save and see everything.

Payy, the PayDay assistant, offering general information about pay, splits, budgeting and saving

Left to spend

$842

Until your next pay from ACME Corp in 10 days. An estimate: what is in your day-to-day accounts, less the bills likely before then.

Bills before your next pay

See what is about to go out

Regular bills, from weekly to monthly, are picked out of your own transactions, so you can see the ones likely to come out before your next pay. An estimate, with the working one tap away.

Your money stays yours.

Open banking is New Zealand law. PayDay connects through Akahu, New Zealand's open finance platform, and never sees, stores or touches your banking login.

  • Your login stays private

    You log in at your bank's own screen, never ours.

  • Two permissions, nothing more

    See transactions, run the transfers you set up. That is the whole list.

  • You authorise every rule

    PayDay only runs the split rules you create. Edit or delete any rule, or pause all automation, and those splits stop.

  • Revoke anytime

    Disconnect in the app or at my.akahu.nz and PayDay loses access to your bank.

Questions people ask first

The short answers. The long ones are on the FAQ page.

Read the full FAQ
Is PayDay secure?

Yes. PayDay connects to your bank through Akahu, New Zealand's open finance platform. You log in at your own bank, never on PayDay, so we never see or store your banking credentials. All data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. PayDay can see your transactions and make only the transfers you set up in a split rule. It cannot move money anywhere else, and you can revoke access at any time.

Is open banking legal and regulated in New Zealand?

Yes. The Customer and Product Data Act 2025 made open banking law in New Zealand. Since 1 December 2025, ANZ, ASB, BNZ, and Westpac have been required to provide secure open banking APIs, with Kiwibank joining during 2026. The regime is administered and enforced by MBIE, which can require information and issue infringement notices, with penalties set by the High Court. PayDay connects through Akahu, New Zealand's open finance platform, and you can revoke access at any time. PayDay itself is not an accredited requestor under the Act.

Which banks do you support?

PayDay makes payments only from and to accounts at the supported banks, which include ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank and Westpac. Your pay needs to land at one of them, and your splits go to your own accounts at them. TSB, Heartland, SBS, The Co-operative Bank, Rabobank and credit unions are not available in PayDay yet.

How does automatic pay detection work?

PayDay checks your connected account on a regular schedule for deposits from the income sources you have added, matched by the payer's name. When it finds your pay, it runs your split rules soon after and emails you to confirm the splits have been completed.

Can I change my split rules anytime?

Yes! You have full control over your split rules. You can add, edit, pause, or delete rules at any time through the app. Changes take effect immediately and will apply to your next payday.

What happens if my pay amount varies?

PayDay handles variable income well. When you set percentage-based splits, the amounts adjust automatically based on your actual pay. Fixed amounts stay the same each time, and if your rules add up to more than a deposit, PayDay holds that deposit and emails you instead of running a partial split.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees, and you can cancel at any time. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period.
