PFM Tools

At its core, PFM allows users to aggregate financial transactions in one place and then use that data to manage their money. In some cases, these transactions have to be entered manually, but an increasing percentage of products automate the process. PFM typically shows cash flow, spending trends, goals, net worth, and debt management. It also allows users some level of customization for managing their money. New PFM capabilities powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that have been recently introduced to the market include predictive cash flow analysis, personalized financial advice, and automated money management including autonomous savings.
