Free iPhone Apps to Manage Your Money

Mint.com Free iPhone App
Mint.com Personal Finance – manage your money, budgets, expenses and bills – Mint.com Your bank, credit card, loans and investment accounts can now all be managed from your phone – not just your home computer. I love the fact that you can set up alarms in case your accounts get low!

Venmo

Venmo means no one owes you money, and you won’t need to owe anyone!
