Your bank, your business
Read-only. Always.
leeway connects to your bank through Plaid, the same way thousands of finance apps do. Here’s exactly what that means.
Sees only your trip cards
Purchases on the cards you pick for a trip: the amount, the date, and where. Nothing else.
Your password stays with your bank
You sign in with your bank through Plaid, never with us.
Can’t move money. Won’t sell data.
Read-only means no transfers or payments, and your purchases are never used for ads.
Connected through Plaid. Disconnect anytime in the app.
Why I’m building this
I love to travel, but I hate keeping a running tally in my head or tracking every purchase by hand. A few days into my last trip, I had no idea what I could still spend or how close I was to the budget I had in mind.
So I’m building leeway: one calm number that stays up to date on its own, so you can stop doing math and enjoy where you are. If that sounds like you, I’d love for you to try it first.

Yes. Connections are read-only through Plaid. We never see your bank login, and the app can’t move money.
