Questions

Straight answers.

Can Fimerse sync with my bank like Monarch?

No, and that is deliberate. Fimerse has no bank connection at all. You add money by hand or import a statement, and your bank login stays with you.

Can I move from Monarch to Fimerse?

Yes. Export your transactions from Monarch as CSV and import the file. Fimerse sorts every line and queues anything unsure for your review.

Is Fimerse free?

Free while in beta, everything included, no card needed. The pricing page says exactly what the AI credits cost.

A Monarch alternative that never asks for your bank login.
