What are Save Hacks?
Save Hacks are automated saving methods that help you supercharge the amounts you deposit to your savings. You boost your savings with your own money, but based on your spending habits.
Here are the Save Hacks available to Cleo Pro and Builder subscribers:
Roundups
Every time you spend, Cleo rounds up your purchase and saves the change. So if you blow $4.50 on Starbucks, Cleo will automatically add $0.50 to your savings.
Swear Jar
Got a guilty pleasure? Cleo will fine you by adding cash to your savings each time you spend there. So, say you set your Swear Jar amount to $2 for every time you spend at Sephora. Whenever you blow your cash on makeup, Cleo will dunk $2 into your savings for you.
Set and Forget
Choose how much to transfer each week and set it to save automatically.
Smart Save
Cleo calculates the ideal amount to save for you using your spending data, and sets it aside for you automatically.
How do I change my Save Hacks?
Head to the Save tab and click the top-right arrow on your Save Hacks section. Then, once you’re on your ‘Pick your Save Hacks’ page, you can switch each hack on or off according to your liking.
Why did Cleo charge me? (Are there any surprise fees?)
There are no surprise fees, just your usual monthly Pro or Builder subscription. No withdrawal or monthly charges.
Why was my Save Hack turned off?
If you have repeated payment failures, your Save Hacks will be automatically toggled off. Most often this is because there weren’t enough funds in your bank account at the time. Don’t worry, we’ll always let you know if this happens, and you can easily turn your hacks back on in the app. To avoid interruptions, just make sure the amounts you’re trying to save are realistic and that there’s enough balance in your account when savings are due.
Moving your money
How can I deposit money into my Cleo Savings?
You have two options when it comes to depositing money. One is via chat: if you have Cleo Savings, just type in chat "deposit $X", including the amount you want to deposit.
The other option is to tap "Add" underneath your savings goal on the Save tab. Enter the amount you wish to deposit and follow the steps. Enter your amount and double check the bank account you want to send it from.
How can I withdraw money from my Cleo Savings?
There are two ways you can withdraw your savings. The first and most direct way is to do this is via the Save tab. Hit the "Withdraw" button at the top, which will open the withdraw page for you. From there, just follow the steps: enter your amount and double check the bank account you want to send it to.
You can also withdraw money via chat. If you have Cleo Savings, just type "withdraw $X", with the amount of money you want to withdraw. You can only withdraw up to $1000 per day.
Is there any other way for me to spend the money in my savings? Will I receive a debit card?
There is no card associated with Cleo Savings. You will need to withdraw the money to your nominated bank account.
What do I do if a deposit or withdrawal does not look correct?
If something doesn't look right in your savings withdrawals or deposits, reach out to the customer service team, who will happily investigate this for you.
Where can I find my statement?
Jump to your Cleo Savings settings (the cog at the top right on the Save tab) and select "Statements." From there, you will be able to view all your deposits and withdrawals, as well as downloading a monthly PDF statement.
