Stop losing money between paydays

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

Works with all major NZ banks

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

I'll do it tomorrow

The transfer gets pushed to the weekend, then next week, then never. Good intentions lose to busy weeks every single time.

"My pay changes every week"

$900 one week, $1,400 the next. Fixed auto-transfers break the moment your income moves, so nothing gets saved at all.

"My money is spread across four banks"

Rent in one, bills in another, savings somewhere else. Keeping them all straight is a job nobody has time for.

Nothing left at month's end

Good income, nothing to show for it. The money leaks away $12 at a time until payday arrives and the account is empty.

Your pay, sorted before you wake up

Connect your banks, tell PayDay how to divide your pay, and the moment it lands the transfers run. Exactly how you set them, every single payday.

Never forget to save again

PayDay spots your pay the second it lands and moves money before you can spend it. Money you can't touch is money that stays saved.

Start splitting your pay
  1. 01

    Link your bank

    Log in at your bank through Akahu. Takes about a minute.

  2. 02

    Set your split

    "25% to savings, $400 to bills, the rest stays." Done once.

  3. 03

    Get paid

    Your money moves itself. You get a notification when it is done.

Is this actually safe?

Open banking is now New Zealand law. PayDay connects through Akahu, a government-accredited provider, and we never see, store, or touch your banking login. PayDay can see your transactions and make the transfers you set up in a split rule. Nothing else, ever.

Your login stays private

You connect through each bank's own official login screen, never ours. Akahu never sees your password. Neither do we.

Two permissions, nothing more

See your transactions, and make the transfers you set up in a split rule. PayDay cannot send money anywhere you have not told it to.

You authorise every rule

Each split rule is a separate permission you control. Pause, edit or delete any of them and splits stop immediately.

Revoke anytime

PayDay's access lives in your Akahu dashboard. One click disconnects us completely.

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, an accredited requestor on MBIE's official Register of Participants under the Customer and Product Data Act 2025, New Zealand's open banking law. 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 to accredited providers, with Kiwibank joining during 2026. The regime is administered by MBIE and enforced by the Commerce Commission, and only accredited organisations can access bank data. You can revoke access at any time.

Which banks do you support?

PayDay works with all major New Zealand banks including ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank, TSB, Rabobank, and The Co-operative Bank. We are constantly adding support for more financial institutions.

How does automatic pay detection work?

PayDay monitors your connected account for incoming deposits that match your pay pattern (amount, frequency, and source). When we detect your pay has landed, we automatically trigger your pre-configured split rules. You will receive a notification confirming 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 perfectly. When you set percentage-based splits, the amounts adjust automatically based on your actual pay. For fixed amount splits, you can set a priority order so the most important transfers happen first. You can also set minimum thresholds to skip splits on unusually low pay periods.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. You can downgrade to our free plan or cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel, you will retain access to Pro features until the end of your current billing period.
