Subject to change: Rivlo is still in development and hasn’t launched yet, so details on this site may change.

Rivlo

What Rivlo does on its own.

Everything here is worked out by Rivlo’s own engine. Only Smart categories ever asks an outside service, and only with your OK.

The app shown with Maya’s sample data.

Free: every feature also works from CSV statements.Connected: your banks connect through Flinks.

Sorted for you

Every transaction, in plain words.

Rivlo rewrites each line as the business, its category and its subcategory: 23 categories and 149 subcategories, so a coffee is Cafés & coffee, not just Dining.

Loblaws and Presto were sorted by the engine. Harbour Cafe was looked up by Smart categories.

Smart categories

Optional, and it asks first. Before it sends anything, Rivlo shows you exactly what’s shared (business names and a few details, never amounts, dates, your name or account numbers) and asks you to choose. Turn it off any time and Rivlo’s engine keeps sorting. Businesses it doesn’t know wait for you to sort them.

One store, three kinds of spending.

Same card, same store, three different counters.

Sorting starts as soon as the file is in, and runs in the background.

Connected

Sorting starts as soon as your bank’s transactions arrive, with up to a year of them when you connect.

Moving money isn’t spending it.

Paying your card from chequing shows up twice, once in each account. Rivlo pairs the two, so it’s never counted as spending, and it asks about e-Transfers it can’t place.

Free

Pairing works across banks, as long as both accounts’ files are in.

Connected

Every account at your bank can come in together, so both sides of a transfer are already there.

Bills that find themselves.

When a payment repeats on a rhythm (weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly or yearly), Rivlo turns it into a bill and starts watching for the next one. Your pay is found the same way.

A bill that stops can be ended in one tap: “This bill ended”.

Free

A bill is found once it has shown up three times (about three months of statements for a monthly bill). Until your next import, a bill that’s due waits as “Expected — import to confirm”.

Connected

Up to a year of history when you connect, depending on your bank, so your bills can be found right away. Update with one tap and paid bills show as paid. Your bank may ask for its usual verification code.

Your pay, recognized.

Rivlo tells your paycheque apart from everything else that comes in (refunds, cashback, money a friend sends back), and plans the month from what you actually earn.

Free

Expected income comes from your recent paycheques. Until there’s enough pay history, Rivlo uses a 3-month average. You can always set it yourself.

Connected

Your pay history comes in when you connect, so expected income can be ready right away.

See where it goes

Know your month before it ends.

Rivlo compares this month with a typical one, projects where it’s heading, and flags what’s unusual: a category spiking, a merchant you’ve never paid before.

Dining & Takeout is up 26% on a typical month.

Free

Pace needs a baseline: a few months of statements give Rivlo a typical month to compare with.

Connected

With up to a year of history, depending on your bank, a typical month can exist from the first day. Your pace is as current as your last update.

Know what changed.

Rivlo watches for a price that jumps, a new recurring charge, a charge that’s out of the ordinary, and what a card balance is costing you. They show up as insights on Home and in one Insights screen.

Pay down, or invest?

Compare paying down a card with investing the same amount, at assumptions you set.

Paying down CIBC Visa first leaves you $102 ahead by May 2028 at your assumptions.
