Your Questions, Answered.

Everything you need to know about managing your money with CashMate.

Is CashMate really free to use?

Yes! The core personal finance, expense tracking, and budgeting features are 100% free for all users worldwide. There are no hidden fees or surprise paywalls.

Does CashMate work offline in areas with bad internet?

Absolutely. We built CashMate specifically for regions like Uganda, India, and the Philippines where mobile data can be expensive or unreliable. All your data is stored locally on your device and works perfectly without an internet connection.

Does the app support my local currency?

Yes. CashMate automatically adapts to your local region. You can track expenses seamlessly in Ugandan Shillings (UGX), Indian Rupees (INR), Philippine Pesos (PHP), Nepalese Rupees (NPR), Ghanaian Cedis (GHS), and many more.

Is my financial data secure and private?

Security is our top priority. Because data is stored locally on your device by default, we do not have access to your financial history. We never sell your data to third parties. If you choose to enable cloud sync, your data is securely encrypted.

How does the Loan Tracker work?

The built-in loan management feature lets you keep a running tally of money you have lent to friends or family, and money you have borrowed. It separates your personal expenses from debts to keep your budget accurate.

Can I export my data for my accountant or personal records?

Yes, you can export your entire transaction history to a CSV file at any time. This is perfect for opening in Excel, Google Sheets, or sending to your tax professional.

Do I need to link my bank account to use the app?

No. CashMate allows you to manually input your expenses and income. This ensures you maintain total privacy and control over your data without exposing your bank credentials.

Will CashMate run on my older Android phone?

Yes. CashMate is heavily optimized to be lightweight and fast. It doesn't drain your battery or require the newest flagship processor to run smoothly.
